Senior / Principal Structural Engineer
Fully Remote | £40,000 - £60,000 + Bonus Scheme
Looking for something a bit different from the average consultancy role?
We're working with a growing structural engineering consultancy that has carved out a specialist niche in the design of Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) and precast concrete structures. Whilst still a relatively small business, they're involved in projects many larger consultants would be proud to have on their CV.
Their portfolio includes work across stadiums, high-rise developments, transport hubs, town halls, student accommodation, and major commercial schemes, collaborating with contractors, manufacturers, and design teams throughout the UK and beyond.
As the business continues to grow, they're looking to appoint a Senior or Principal Structural Engineer who wants genuine responsibility, direct client exposure, and the opportunity to help shape the future of the company.
The Role
You'll take ownership of projects from concept through to manufacture and installation, acting as the technical lead whilst working closely with contractors, factories, and clients. Responsibilities will include:
