Graduate Structural Engineer

Skilled Careers are currently working with an award-winning, design-led structural engineering consultancy in the West End of London who are looking to add a Graduate Structural Engineer (+1) to their growing team.

Based close to Tottenham Court Road, the consultancy has recently moved into a brand-new office, making this an exciting time to join a business that is continuing to grow.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Structural Engineer who is still relatively early in their career and is looking to develop their technical experience within a genuinely design-focused environment. The consultancy works closely with architects and other design professionals, delivering bespoke structural solutions across a variety of architecturally led projects.

The Company

The practice brings together significant technical expertise, practical knowledge and experience gained from leading design-focused practices across the UK and Europe.

Working as part of a multi-national and multi-lingual team, the consultancy uses the latest analysis and design software to deliver bespoke, efficient structural solutions across projects of varying scale and complexity.

Their current portfolio includes:

• Residential developments, including new-build, contemporary refurbishment and basement projects
• Commercial developments
• Mixed-use schemes
• Hotels & resorts
• Offices and retail

This is an excellent environment for someone who wants exposure to interesting, architecturally led schemes rather than working on repetitive projects.

• Develop your understanding of both technical design and project delivery
• Work alongside experienced structural engineers and learn from a strong technical team
• Continue working towards professional development and eventual chartership

Benefits

The consultancy offers a particularly strong benefits package, including:

• Hybrid working – 3 days in the office after successful completion of the initial probation period
• Opportunity to work from abroad
• Flexible working hours, with core hours of 09:30–17:00
• Annual bonus based on company and individual performance

You should have:

• A relevant degree in Civil/Structural Engineering
• Some relevant structural engineering experience, either through graduate employment or internships/placements
• A genuine interest in structural design
• Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team
• A desire to work on architecturally led and design-focused projects
