The opportunity
A boutique structural engineering consultancy, currently experiencing an unprecedented surge in new instructions, requires a versatile engineer to orchestrate a broad portfolio of projects. This is not a siloed role; it is for a professional who thrives on variety, from domestic extensions to sophisticated portal frame developments and compliance-driven surveys.

Technical Execution: Deliver simple design work and detailed drawings.
Client Engagement: Manage site inspections, surveys, and direct communication with architects, contractors, and homeowners.
Strategic Compliance: Navigate the complexities of the Building Safety Act, providing essential inspections and survey calculations for a shifting regulatory landscape.
Operational Agility: Hit the ground running with a "common sense" approach to varied engineering challenges.

The Environment
The firm maintains a lean, expert structure consisting of an Associate Director, Consultant, and CAD support. The culture is defined by:

Radical Transparency: A refusal to engage in low-margin, high-friction work. We focus on quality instructions that value professional expertise.
Collaborative Intensity: We prioritize physical presence to facilitate CAD collaboration and social integration within the team.
Diverse Portfolio: Subsidence work, facilities management, and new-build developments ensure no two days follow the same trajectory.

Requirements
Experience: A minimum of 3–4 years (Graduate/Engineer level) through to Senior status.
Skillset: Proficiency in design and drawing, paired with the mental fortitude to handle client-facing responsibilities.
