Senior Structural Engineer
Newcastle upon Tyne

A well-established, multi-disciplinary Consultancy is seeking an experienced Senior Structural Engineer to join its growing Newcastle upon Tyne office. The company has built a strong reputation over more than a century for delivering innovative, practical and sustainable engineering solutions. Its Structural Engineering team works across an extensive range of sectors, providing services from concept through to construction on projects of all scales - from small domestic developments to complex, multi-million-pound structures.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled Structural Engineer to take a key role in a technically accomplished and collaborative team. The successful candidate will contribute to the design and assessment of new and existing buildings in steel, concrete, masonry and timber, including refurbishment and strengthening of heritage and listed structures. Projects typically span commercial, residential, industrial, retail and public infrastructure sectors, reflecting the Consultancy's broad technical capability and strong regional presence.

You will lead on design coordination, ensuring that solutions are safe, efficient and aligned with client objectives. Responsibilities include preparing detailed calculations and high-quality technical reports, undertaking analysis using recognised software packages such as Tekla Structural Designer, Tedds, CSC/Fastrak, Robot and Bluebeam Revu, and verifying outputs through hand calculations. You will carry out site inspections, structural assessments and condition surveys, and ensure all designs comply with Eurocodes, British Standards and UK Building Regulations. The role also involves liaising with clients, architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines to deliver fully integrated, buildable design solutions.

Applicants should hold a bachelor's or master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering and be Chartered or near Chartered with a relevant professional body such as the ICE or IStructE. A minimum of five years' post graduate UK consultancy experience is required, with a strong understanding of design standards, detailing, and construction techniques. Excellent communication, report-writing and project management skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and mentor junior team members. Experience of working with existing and heritage buildings will be advantageous.

The Consultancy's Structural Engineering team is recognised for combining creativity with technical rigour, using advanced modelling tools, sustainable design practices and modern methods of construction to deliver safe, efficient and cost-effective solutions. Its collaborative culture encourages innovation, personal growth and shared technical learning. Engineers are empowered to take ownership of their work and contribute to the continued development of the business and the built environment.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated Structural Engineer to join a respected Consultancy with a forward-thinking approach and a varied, high-quality project portfolio.

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.
