Structural Engineer
Eastbourne, £35,000 – £45,000
As a structural engineer, you love solving problems. You’re highly skilled in structural design when it comes to buildings, and over the years you’ve built some amazing relationships with clients – be that with architects, main contractors, or even local authorities.
​
You’re now looking for a new challenge. One that will see you play a pivotal role in the development of a well-established and highly-regarded practice on the south coast.
If you’re looking for the opportunity to achieve chartered status, and to play a lead role on projects, you’ll get all the support and opportunity you’re looking for right here.
​
The opportunity
​
You’ll join forces with a structural engineering practice with a highly-regarded reputation in the region. This will give you the springboard to further develop your professional relationships, where you’ll work on construction projects across the residential and commercial sectors up to £5m in value.
​
Your projects will range from the design of bespoke residential dwellings to structural inspections of listed buildings, as well as a good mix of commercial and industrial schemes.
No two jobs and no two days are the same here.
​
It’s also a fantastic opportunity to realise your commercial aspirations, as you’ll play an important role in the development of the practice, with a clear path to Associate and Director level in the future.
​
What you’ll bring to the table
​
You’ll have at least a couple of years’ experience as a structural engineer in the design of buildings, ideally within a consultancy environment. You’ll have the ability to produce high-quality designs as well as having the communication skills to develop relationships with architects and other stakeholders in the process.
​
The ambition to become chartered is a real plus here. We’re interested in your skills and experience and can offer a lucrative salary and benefits package to reflect this ambition, as well as your skills learned to date.
​
If you want to have a meaningful impact on the local landscape, whilst imprinting your expert knowledge on the next generation of structural engineers, we’d love to hear from you.
What else is on offer for you?
​
The salary is entirely negotiable, but we’d like to open a dialogue at the top end of your expectations.
​
You don’t need to put together a CV and send it over. Call us for an informal chat. If you’ve been weighing up your future and have aspirations as a structural engineer, let’s discuss them.
