📍 London
🏗️ Structural Engineering | Existing Buildings | Real Estate Consultancy | Associate Director

Walker & Sloan are working with a highly respected, independent real estate consultancy to recruit an Associate Director – Structural Engineering to help grow their recently launched structural and façade engineering service.

Our client is an independent real estate and construction consultancy with more than 50 years of history, a team of over 145 people across a network of UK offices and certified B Corp status. They advise some of the UK's best-known institutional investors, landlords and occupiers across offices, retail, industrial, residential, leisure, education and science and technology.

Alongside building surveying, technical due diligence, dilapidations and project management, the business offers building and fire safety, MEP, façade and structural engineering and sustainability advice, and is known for a collaborative culture where knowledge is shared and people support one another.

The business has recently added façade and structural engineering to its multidisciplinary offer, and this appointment will play a central role in building that service.

For an ambitious chartered structural engineer who wants to help build a new team within an established consultancy, this represents an exceptional opportunity.

The Opportunity

As Associate Director, you'll take a leading role in developing the structural engineering service, delivering projects and helping shape how the team grows.

You'll work closely with building surveying, façade, MEP and project management colleagues, giving clients joined-up advice on their buildings.

You'll have genuine autonomy over the projects you lead and real influence on the direction of a new service.

Importantly, this isn't simply a delivery position. You'll help win work, build client relationships and grow the team.

The Role

You'll lead structural engineering advice on commercial property, with a focus on existing buildings: structural surveys and appraisals, technical due diligence, defects investigations and refurbishment.

You'll manage your own projects and clients, keeping quality, programme and fees on track.

You'll play a pivotal role in winning new work, both from existing clients of the consultancy and new ones.

You'll work across disciplines so that structural input is integrated with the wider advice clients receive.

You'll also mentor and develop engineers as the team grows.

About You

You'll be a chartered structural engineer at Associate, Senior Associate or Associate Director level, ideally from consultancy, with strong experience of existing buildings and commercial property.

You'll ideally demonstrate:

• Extensive structural engineering experience in consultancy
• Strong experience of existing buildings, refurbishment and retrofit
• Structural surveys, appraisals and technical due diligence experience
• Experience of defects investigation and remediation
• Confident client management and business development
• Experience of leading and mentoring engineers

CEng MIStructE or MICE is required.

Engineers from building surveying or façade backgrounds with strong structural expertise are strongly encouraged to apply.

Above all, we're looking for someone who combines technical excellence with the entrepreneurial drive to help build a new service.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary up to £95,000
• Package on top of basic salary
• A leading role in growing a newly launched structural engineering service
• Backing from a national, independent, multidisciplinary consultancy
• A B Corp business with a collaborative, supportive culture
• Long-term progression as the team grows

If you're a chartered structural engineer who wants to shape a new service, this is an outstanding opportunity to join a respected independent consultancy at a key moment.
