Senior Structural Engineer

We have an opportunity for an Essex-based Senior Structural Engineer, to join a business that has been established for over three decades. Based near Southend-on-Sea, we are looking for a Structural Engineer who can bring technical expertise, confidence, and autonomy to support a diverse range of projects.

Joining their close-knit team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on everything from small bespoke domestic schemes to large residential developments, industrial builds, and commercial projects. You’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive environment where your expertise is valued, and you’ll play a key role in shaping projects that make a tangible difference to clients and communities.

We’re seeking a Structural Engineer who is confident in working independently and taking responsibility for their projects from concept through to completion. Chartership is highly desirable, but not essential – what matters most is proven experience, strong problem-solving ability, and the drive to deliver creative, practical engineering solutions.

What’s On Offer

The chance to work on a varied portfolio of projects, from private homes to large-scale developments.

A supportive, collaborative team culture in a well-established practice.

Professional development opportunities, including support towards Chartership if required.

Flexible working arrangements to support work–life balance.

A role where you can genuinely shape your career path and take ownership of your work.

What You Need To Succeed

Strong background in structural design and analysis, across a variety of building types and materials.

Ability to manage projects independently, from design through to delivery.

Good knowledge of UK building regulations and relevant codes of practice.

Proficiency with structural design software (e.g. Tekla, Tedds, Robot, MasterSeries).

Excellent client-facing skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.

Confidence in mentoring junior team members and contributing to a positive team culture.

A proactive, solution-focused approach to engineering challenges.

Chartered with IStructE or ICE (preferred but not essential).

MEng or BEng in Civil Engineering (or equivalent)
