Structural Design Engineer

We’re looking for an experienced Structural Engineer to join the Poole office of a dynamic multidisciplinary consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering innovative and sustainable engineering solutions. With their Poole office expanding, we are looking to recruit a Senior Structural Engineer to strengthen their growing Structural Engineering team. This is an excellent opportunity to step into a senior role within a progressive and supportive consultancy.
As a Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll take the lead on a variety of exciting projects across residential, commercial, and infrastructure sectors. You’ll have the chance to work closely with architects, developers, and contractors, providing technical leadership and creative design solutions. In addition to managing your own projects, you’ll play a key role in mentoring junior engineers and shaping the future of the Poole team as the office continues to expand.
We are seeking a chartered or near-chartered Senior Structural Engineer with proven project management experience, excellent technical knowledge, and strong client-facing skills. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys both hands-on design and taking ownership of projects, while helping to develop and inspire a growing team.
What’s On Offer

  • A clear route to progression with opportunities to advance to Associate level.

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.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
