🔥 Senior Structural Engineer – Power & Energy Sector – Critical Role
Deliver Structural Design That Powers the UK Energy Network
We’re seeking a Senior Structural Engineer with specialised experience in the Power and Energy sector to drive critical UK electricity infrastructure projects. Join us to work on high-profile schemes across Transmission & Distribution, substations, HV/HVDC systems, and National Grid projects, where structural engineering is essential for national connectivity.
If you thrive on solving complex technical challenges, owning structural design, and shaping vital energy infrastructure—this role offers meaningful technical growth, visibility, and progression.
## What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll lead or own key aspects of Power & Energy infrastructure projects, contributing directly to UK energy reliability:
- Ownership & leadership – Lead structural design packages or major elements of Power & Energy infrastructure, including:
- Transmission & Distribution (T&D) networks
- Substations
- HV/HVDC assets
- Technical excellence – Deliver high-quality structural calculations, models, drawings, reports, and specifications
- Regulatory compliance – Apply UK codes and standards in regulated Power sector environments
- Software proficiency – Conduct deep structural analysis using industry tools (e.g., ETABS, STAAD, SACS)
- Collaboration – Work closely with civil, electrical, and multidisciplinary teams to achieve flawless design solutions
- Project support – Provide progress updates, contribute to programme delivery, and assist in business development (tenders, fee proposals, scope development)
- Innovation – Introduce practical, buildable, and sustainable solutions tailored to energy infrastructure
- Mentorship – Guide and develop junior engineers within our Power team
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
## What You’ll Bring
Qualifications
- Chartered Engineer (CEng) with a major structural membership:
- Preferred: MIStructE or MICE (with strong structural focus)
- Considered: AIStructE
- Near-chartered Engineers (on track to CEng) will also be evaluated
Experience
- Demonstrable success in delivering structural design for Power or Energy projects, including:
- Transmission/Distribution (T&D) networks
- Substations (civil & structural works)
- HV/HVDC infrastructure
- National Grid or equivalent utility investments
- Deep familiarity with UK-specific codes, standards, and compliance processes
Technical & Soft Skills
- Expert software skills – Proficiency in structural analysis tools with the ability to review and check models with confidence
- Cross-disciplinary experience – Successful teamwork with electrical and civil design teams
- Health & safety awareness – Understanding of CDM duties, construction risks, and structural safety
- Clearance & practicalities – CSCS card, eligibility for SC clearance, and a full UK driving licence
## Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape the UK’s energy future:
- Impactful work – Contribute directly to critical electricity infrastructure
- Sector expertise – Build deep Power industry knowledge and progress toward specialist leadership roles
- Diverse projects – Rotate across Transmission, substations, and HVDC—keeping your work varied and engaging
