Principal​/Associate Structural Engineer

A genuinely unique opportunity for an ambitious Structural Engineer looking to make a real impact.

Our client is a growing engineering consultancy with an expanding presence in Birmingham and is looking for an experienced Structural Engineer to join its structures team. This is far more than a standard design role - the successful candidate will work closely with the Birmingham Structures Director, take ownership of projects and have genuine scope to help shape the team, develop the Birmingham office and progress towards Director level.

The role offers significant responsibility across project delivery, technical design, client liaison, team development and business development. It would suit an engineer who enjoys combining strong technical ability with leadership, commercial awareness and the opportunity to build something.

Candidates should have recent structural engineering consultancy experience in the Midlands and be Chartered or close to Chartered, with MICE or MIStruct

E.

Strong communication skills, commercial awareness and a proactive approach are essential, together with a genuine enthusiasm for engineering and developing others.

This is an opportunity to join a close-knit, growing consultancy where senior management is accessible, individual contribution is valued and career progression is not restricted by rigid structures. With no timesheet culture and a strong emphasis on trust, autonomy and work-life balance, the successful candidate will have the freedom to take ownership and make the role their own.

For an ambitious Structural Engineer with aspirations beyond pure design, this could be the opportunity to take a genuine step towards Director level.
