We are working with an architecturally-led, sustainability-focused structural engineering consultancy in London, looking to appoint an ambitious Structural Engineer. Due to continued growth, they are looking for a talented Structural Engineer with 1-4 years of experience to join their dynamic London office.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team. You’ll work on a variety of projects, from bespoke residential builds to large-scale commercial developments, using materials such as concrete, steel, and timber. With the support of experienced engineers, you will be given opportunities to develop your technical expertise and play a key role in delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
Our client are seeking a motivated Structural Engineer with a solid foundation in structural design. The successful candidate will ideally have experience with concrete, steel, and timber design, along with a keen interest in problem-solving. While experience in managing projects is an advantage, it is not essential—what matters most is your passion for engineering and your drive to grow within the company.
What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary, based on experience.
  • Clear career progression with mentorship from senior engineers.
  • Exposure to a variety of high-profile and bespoke projects.
  • Support for professional development, including ICE/IStructE chartership.
  • A friendly, supportive, and innovative working environment.
  • Regular team socials and company events.
    What You Need To Succeed
  • Up to four years’ experience in UK-based structural engineering practice.
  • Knowledge of concrete, steel, and/or timber design.
  • Ability to work within a team and communicate effectively.
  • Proficiency in engineering software such as Tekla, Robot, or similar.
  • Enthusiasm for solving structural challenges and delivering high-quality work.
  • Some experience in project management is beneficial but not essential.
  • Willingness to learn and develop within a fast-paced consultancy environment.
  • Working towards chartership with IStructE (preferred but not essential).
  • MEng or BEng in Civil Engineering (or equivalent)

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
