Senior Structural Engineer

London

£54k-£58k plus benefits

Our client is a genuinely exceptional employer-one that stands out for its commitment to people and its refreshing approach to work-life balance. The business is expanding in a thoughtful, sustainable way, choosing the right projects while protecting the strong culture that has made them so successful.

Their work spans an impressive range of projects, from modest £100k schemes to major developments of up to £20m. Every engineer is involved throughout the project process, from winning new work to seeing the final design come to life, creating a true sense of ownership and variety. The firm is now looking to welcome a Senior Structural Engineer to their London team.

They are seeking someone with at least five years of experience, ideally gained across domestic, residential, commercial, and education sectors. Experience on smaller-scale projects-particularly refurbishments-is especially valuable, as this forms the heart of their workload. Chartership, or being close to achieving it, is a strong advantage, along with the confidence to carry out site visits independently and manage day-to-day design tasks with autonomy.

A solid command of steel, concrete, masonry, and timber design is essential, with additional expertise in timber or concrete seen as a bonus. Familiarity with Tekla structural design and Robot software will be viewed very favourably, and anyone with an appetite for business development-whether that's writing proposals, building client relationships, or helping bring in new work-will be warmly welcomed.

One of the company's biggest strengths is its flexible approach to working life. Engineers can work remotely for up to three days a week, depending on workload and personal preference. This freedom comes with an expectation of self-motivation, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset, as much of the day-to-day interaction happens via Teams or phone.

If you're looking for a senior role where autonomy, flexibility, and meaningful work come together, this is a rare opportunity to join a firm that truly puts people.

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.
