New Opportunity - Experienced Structural Design Engineer

 

We are seeking a talented and motivated Structural Design Engineer to join our client's growing engineering team. You will be responsible for the analysis and design of industrial steel structures, with a particular focus on connection and seismic design.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity to work across renewables, hydrogen, carbon capture, and industrial energy projects, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams throughout all project phases.

 

You will apply your expertise in design code calculations (ASCE 7, Eurocode 3) to deliver robust, compliant, and practical solutions, supporting both internal teams and external clients.

 

As the new Structural Design Engineer, you will:

Perform structural analysis and design of steel frame, braced, and portal-frame structures for energy-related facilities (e.g., process plants, gas-turbine installations, modular structures)

Carry out connection design, foundation design, and seismic analysis using first principles and recognised software

Ensure designs comply with international codes and standards (Eurocodes, ASCE 7, AISC, API)

Review and interpret client specifications, drawings, and requirements

Prepare and review drawings, 3D models, and documentation in collaboration with CAD/drafting teams

Provide technical support to internal and external stakeholders

Contribute to R&D, best practices, and continuous improvement within the design team Key requirements for this role:

Degree in Civil/Structural or Mechanical Engineering (minimum 2:1)

3+ years of structural design experience (6+ years for Senior roles)

Strong experience with steel frame analysis, connection design, and seismic considerations

Proficiency with structural analysis software (Autodesk Robot, ETABS, STAAD Pro, TEKLA)

Experience with mathematical calculations using Microsoft Excel, Mathcad, or similar

Solid understanding of steel structures, structural detailing, and CDM regulations

Ability to work independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams Desirable Skills and Experience:

Chartered status or working towards ICE/IStructE chartership

Experience designing fabricated steel shell structures

Familiarity with FEA, Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, IDEA StatiCa

Understanding of manufacturing techniques and modular construction components About you:

Detail-oriented, proactive, and committed to quality and safety

Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills

Willing to travel internationally and work out of hours if required

Full UK driving licence and current UK residency About this role:

Competitive salary with performance bonuses

Sponsorship support for eligible candidates

Collaborative and supportive work environment

Career development and training opportunities

Exposure to innovative energy projects

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.
