Chartered Senior Structural Engineer

Chartered Senior Structural Engineer (or above) - Energy & Industrial Sector
Location: Manchester, Leeds, London, Chester
Salary: £50,000 - £70,000 DOE + benefits
Hybrid Working

I'm working with one of the UK's most respected multidisciplinary engineering consultancies, known for delivering complex energy and infrastructure projects across the UK and globally. They've got a particularly impressive track record in the energy and industrial sectors-think power stations, substations, heavy industry, manufacturing and production buildings. Now, due to continued project wins and an ever-growing pipeline, they're looking to appoint an experienced Civil or Chartered Senior Structural Engineer at either Senior, Principal or Associate level.

You'll be joining a brilliant engineering team that sits within a larger global business, but still operates in a close-knit, collaborative way. This means you'll get the best of both worlds-backing from a major brand, but the feel and flexibility of a smaller team.

The focus here is on delivering the structural elements of energy and industrial sector projects-structural steelwork, foundations, building frames and associated civils. You'll be leading on projects across all RIBA stages, often beginning at FEED/FEL and seeing through to delivery and construction.

What you'll be doing:

Leading the structural engineering design for buildings and infrastructure in the energy/industrial sectors.
Taking projects through concept, detailed design and delivery phases.
Liaising closely with clients, architects, and other disciplines like MEPand process engineers.
Managing project resourcing, timescales, and outputs.
Providing mentorship and support to junior engineers.
Contributing to fee proposals, tendering and broader business development.

What they're looking for:

A chartered Civil or Structural Engineer (CEng MICE or MIStructE preferred).
Minimum of 7 years' experience for Senior/Principal level; 10+ years for Associate.
Ideally with a background in energy, utilities, or industrial buildings-substations, power plants, or manufacturing environments are all highly relevant
Proficiency in structural design software-Tekla, ETABS, Robot, TSD or similar.
Good working knowledge of UK design codes and Eurocodes.
Strong communication skills and the confidence to lead project meetings and client conversations.
Someone who can contribute technically but also understands commercial and programme delivery.

What's on offer for a Chartered Senior Structural Engineer:

A competitive salary in the region of £50,000 - £70,000, depending on experience.
A clear pathway for progression, tailored to where you are now and where you want to be.
25+ days holiday, pension scheme, bonus structure and comprehensive benefits package.
Flexible/hybrid working (most of the team are in 2-3 days per week).
The chance to lead impactful projects that contribute to the UK's energy transition.
This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys technically challenging work, values a collaborative environment, and is keen to develop further with a supportive and ambitious employer.
