Engineering Technician
Building Engineering | Milton Keynes
This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and collaborative Engineering Technician to join our Building Engineering team in Milton Keynes. Working closely with structural engineers and multidisciplinary colleagues, you will play an important role in supporting the delivery of new‑build structural designs, structural investigations, and coordinated engineering solutions across residential, public sector, and commercial developments. This role offers a dynamic and rewarding technical environment where you will develop your skills while contributing to high‑quality project delivery.
Purpose and Scope of the Role
You will support the structural engineering team in producing accurate and coordinated design models, drawings, and technical outputs for a range of building engineering projects. Your work will span both new‑build design and the assessment of existing structures, assisting in the preparation of drawings, 3D models, survey records, and technical documentation that underpin our engineering solutions.
Working under the guidance of senior engineers and technicians, you will use Revit and AutoCAD to create and update structural and civil engineering models, ensuring that all outputs align with project requirements, industry standards, and internal quality expectations. You will also assist with document control, drawing distribution, and the ongoing management of digital information across live projects.
Your role will involve close collaboration with engineers working in timber, steel, concrete, and masonry design, helping to coordinate information with architects, MEP engineers, fire specialists, and other disciplines. You will contribute to a positive, proactive working environment and support the team in meeting deadlines, preparing technical information, and responding to project needs.
Working Across New‑Build Design and Existing‑Building Projects
You will support the delivery of low to medium rise residential developments, including apartments, townhouses, and mixed‑use schemes, contributing to the preparation of structural layouts, general arrangements, sections, and details. In addition, you will assist engineers working on structural investigations of existing buildings, helping to organise survey information, record site findings, and translate engineering guidance into clear, well‑structured drawings. This combination of new‑build and existing‑structure experience provides a varied and engaging workload and supports your development across a broad range of technical areas.
