Job Title: Structural Engineer
Location: Central London
Sector: Construction & Engineering
Experience Required: 5–7 Years (Consultancy Background Preferred)

An established and growing construction contractor is seeking a Structural Engineer to join their in-house engineering team, working on a range of high-profile projects across Central London. This is a great opportunity for an engineer with a consultancy background who’s ready to take their skills onto live construction sites and into a more delivery-focused role.

The Role
You’ll be involved in the structural design and coordination of both temporary and permanent works, working closely with project teams, clients, and external designers to deliver practical, buildable solutions in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities:



Provide structural engineering support from pre-construction through to project completion

*

Assist in the development of safe, cost-effective, and buildable engineering solutions

*

Review third-party designs and contribute technical input as required

*

Produce and check design calculations, drawings, and reports

*

Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, standards, and codes of practice

*

Coordinate with site teams and subcontractors to resolve on-site engineering challenges

About You:

*

5–7 years of structural engineering experience, ideally gained within a consultancy setting

*

Strong technical knowledge and understanding of UK building codes and standards

*

Proficient in structural analysis and design software (e.g. Tekla, TEDDS, Robot, etc.)

*

Confident communicator with the ability to liaise effectively across teams and disciplines

*

Degree-qualified in Civil or Structural Engineering

*

Progressing toward chartership (or already chartered) is advantageous

What’s on Offer:

*

Competitive salary package

*

Long-term opportunity with a forward-thinking contractor

*

Involvement in high-profile Central London developments

*

Supportive team culture with scope for progression

If you're looking to transition from consultancy into a site-focused engineering role with real influence on project delivery, this is an excellent opportunity to do so

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.
