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.

If you're interested and want to hear more, drop me a line. I'm Andrew Wilson at Calibre Search-you'll find me on LinkedIn or just send over your CV and I'll get in touch directly.

Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age. We act as both an employment agency and employment business

How to Get a Better Robotics Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the robotics industry can feel like a sudden halt, particularly in such a complex, fast-evolving field. But with robotics at the heart of innovation across manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, and defence, the UK continues to offer excellent career opportunities. Whether you're a robotics software engineer, systems integrator, mechanical design expert, or autonomous systems researcher, this guide is here to help you reset, rebrand, and relaunch your career after redundancy.

Robotics Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is already outdated for UK robotics professionals Ask a Robotics Software Engineer fine‑tuning SLAM algorithms, a Mechatronics Engineer chasing motor‑controller jitter at 3 a.m., or a Field Robotics Specialist testing autonomous tractors in Somerset: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes every quarter. Retail warehouses roll out 1,000 collaborative arms overnight; battery subsidies super‑charge autonomous delivery start‑ups; & the UK government pledges £200 million for industrial robot adoption. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any salary guide printed in 2024 reads like a dusty datasheet—ignorant of the NHS surgical‑robot procurement boom, the Midlands EV‑assembly cobot surge, or the drone‑in‑dock pilots blanketing Scottish offshore wind farms. To turn guesswork into evidence, RoboticsJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority; you’ll get a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces pushing robotics pay skyward, & sets out five practical moves to boost your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present Robotics Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Robotics is changing the world—from smart factories and autonomous vehicles to healthcare assistants and drone deliveries. But no matter how advanced the system is, a robotics solution won’t be adopted unless it’s clearly understood by those who make decisions: business leaders, clients, investors, and end-users. That’s why employers in the UK robotics industry are now actively seeking candidates who can communicate clearly and confidently with non-technical audiences. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a mechanical engineer, a software specialist or an automation consultant, your ability to explain how your robots work—and why they matter—could be the difference between getting shortlisted and getting hired. This guide shows you how to structure your robotics presentation, design effective slides, use storytelling and analogies, and answer common stakeholder questions—so you can stand out in interviews and beyond.
