Senior Structural Engineer

The Design department is responsible for developing innovative, practical, and fully coordinated mechanical and electrical building services solutions tailored to each project. Working closely with clients, project teams, and the BIM department, the design team transforms concepts into detailed, build-ready technical designs that meet regulatory standards, client specifications, and sustainability goals. Their work underpins the technical accuracy and efficiency of our installations, ensuring seamless integration from planning through to construction.

The role will require the engineer to act as the structural control point between engineering design, BIM, fabrication, production, transport and site installation. The successful candidate must be capable of developing practical, buildable steelwork solutions for offsite-manufactured plantrooms, pipework supports, gantries, access steelwork and associated secondary structures.

The candidate should be comfortable designing structures not only for their final operational condition, but also for fabrication, handling, transport, lifting and temporary installation conditions.

The role requires strong first-principles engineering judgement, with the ability to develop bespoke structural solutions where standard details or catalogue systems are not directly applicable.

The candidate must be capable of reviewing fabrication drawings, connection details, weld requirements, tolerances and site installation details to ensure the structural design intent is correctly transferred into manufacture.
