Proficiency in MasterSeries, STAAD, Tedds or similar analysis tools.

Strong understanding of CDM Regulations, UK technical standards, and structural design codes.

Ability to train and mentor graduate engineers

Why You’ll Love It Here

Work on high‑impact and complex projects shaping the UK’s most innovative sectors.

Join a supportive engineering community that values technical excellence, continuous learning, and collaboration.

Opportunities to develop leadership skills and mentor others.

Real responsibility, real visibility, and real career progression.
