Opportunity
Our structural engineering team is growing!
We would like to hear from experienced Leeds- or Manchester-based structural engineers interested in taking this fantastic opportunity to work in our well-established independent firm, across a broad range of commercial and residential sectors.
The Role
You will be carrying out structural engineering inspections and preparing structural calculations for a variety of commercial and residential buildings.
This will include beam calculations and design, structural roof calculations, steel element design, and structural engineering assessment and inspection of new and existing properties in steel, concrete, masonry and timber. There is also potential to get involved with structural feasibility studies, structural design review and technical due diligence.
The role is home-based and the patch will be tailored to the candidate’s home location.
The Person
We are looking for someone with the experience needed to work independently to a high standard. You need to have a recognised engineering degree.

For those nearing chartership, we provide support and expert mentorship towards getting chartered.
You need to be confident and competent in computer analysis and structural design and able manage projects independently. Furthermore, you must have a thorough understanding of how the structure and fabric of buildings are put together, what can go wrong and how they can be affected by previous alterations and change of use.
