Design Engineer; Civils​/Structural

Senior Temporary Works Engineer

Here at SJG Temporary Works, we’re always looking to expand our team of specialist design engineers. Our ever‑growing client base means we have to meet the demand with a steady stream of graduate and apprentice engineers.

At SJG, our designers pride themselves on our lead‑time and we understand that this is an important factor for all principal contractors looking to stay on schedule. We maintain this through our commitment to effective and efficient recruitment and always keep CVs on file; so send your application in today.

Currently, we need a Senior/Temporary Works Engineer to assist in a wide range of temporary works design due to an increased workload and an expansion within the UK construction industry. You will be joining a small, but rapidly growing company and can expect fast personal career growth. Our clients range from local subcontractors to multinationals with more than £1 billion turnover.

At times you may be based on site, providing support during the construction phase of projects.

• CAT 1‑3 Checking
• Scaffolding
• Formwork
• Falsework
• Needling & Propping
• Mobile Crane Outrigger Base Design
• Excavation Support
• Site Facilities Design

• Coaching and mentoring a small team of graduate engineers and technicians.
• Ensuring that schemes provided to our clients are the most suitable to their needs, wherever possible suggesting value‑engineering solutions and altering initial schemes where programme or cost savings can be made.
• Assisting with the general operation of the company and supporting our Temporary Works co‑ordinators on client sites throughout the UK.

• Previous temporary works design experience or a background in structural engineering.
• Good knowledge of structural analysis and soil mechanics.

Every year, SJG looks to take on a new apprentice to join our design team as we firmly believe in the working‑route to education. Our Chief Executive Officer, Simon Goldsmith, was himself an apprentice and is looking to take on another career‑driven engineer to assist his design team alongside a Level 3 education course. This rewarding way to break into a career in construction and engineering will be applicable to diligent, hard‑working and punctual candidates.

We are always looking for talented, passionate individuals with a proven track record of excellence. If you are interested in joining our team and none of the vacancies listed suit you, please send us your CV and a covering letter anyway.
