Structural Engineer

Our client, a leading consultancy in the infrastructure and energy sectors, is currently seeking a Structural Engineer to join their team in a permanent role focusing on the power industry. This is an exciting opportunity to work on projects within the power, energy, and rail sectors, including substation buildings, transformer foundations, and cable management systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Undertake civil/structural design for projects within power, energy, and rail sectors.

Ensure compliance with relevant design standards, including Eurocodes, BS EN, National Grid or DNO specifications, Network Rail, and London Underground standards.

Manage calculations, drawings, specifications, and design deliverables prepared by the team.

Conduct design reviews, independent checks, and assurance activities to maintain quality and safety standards.

Consider Health & Safety and CDM requirements at all stages of the design process to minimise risk during construction.

Be a key member of structural design teams through all project stages-from feasibility and concept design to detailed engineering and construction support.

Work collaboratively with civil, geotechnical, and electrical engineers to deliver integrated design solutions.

Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, contractors, and key stakeholders.

Job Requirements:

Experience in structural design, particularly with reinforced concrete and civil design engineering.

Experience in a design consultancy, working towards chartership with the ICE or IStructE.

Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (BEng/MEng).

Strong knowledge of UK design codes, standards, and industry specifications.

Proficiency in structural analysis and design software (e.g., Tekla TEDDS, Robot).

Technically excellent, with a pragmatic, solution-focused approach.

Confident communicator with the ability to engage clients and guide project teams.

Having a current clean UK driving license for occasional site visits is desirable.

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.
