Structural Engineer Exeter | High-Rise Buildings | Hybrid Working

The Opportunity

This is a genuinely rare opportunity for a Structural Engineer based in the South West to work on major high-rise building projects — without relocating to a major city or sacrificing quality of life.

A well-established, design-led civil and structural engineering consultancy with a strong Exeter presence is expanding its structural team to support a growing portfolio of complex, multi-storey and high-rise developments delivered across the UK.

While the Exeter office remains firmly rooted in Devon, the consultancy operates nationally, meaning you’ll gain exposure to large-scale, technically demanding buildings typically associated with London, Bristol or Manchester — all while staying local.

The Role

As Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll play a key role in the design and delivery of high-rise and complex building structures, alongside a wider mix of commercial and residential projects.

You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, working closely with architects, developers and multidisciplinary teams from concept through to construction.

Key responsibilities include:

Structural design and analysis of high-rise and multi-storey buildings
Producing calculations, drawings and technical reports
Working confidently with AutoCAD and Tekla
Collaborating closely with architects and wider design teams
Supporting project delivery from feasibility through to construction stages
Ensuring designs comply with current codes, standards and best practice
Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to technical excellence
Coordinating with colleagues across the wider business  About You

We’re looking for a capable and ambitious Structural Engineer who brings:
 
A degree in Structural or Civil Engineering
Proven experience within a structural design consultancy
Exposure to high-rise or complex building structures
Competence using AutoCAD and Tekla

Experience with Revit, Site3D or Flow (desirable but not essential)
Strong technical understanding and modern design capability
Clear communication skills and confidence working with project teams
A desire to work on technically demanding projects while remaining Devon-based  Chartership is welcomed but not essential for the right candidate.

What’s In It For You  
Competitive salary (negotiable depending on experience)
Performance-related bonus
Hybrid working
Exposure to major high-rise building projects desirable but not essential
Clear career progression within a growing consultancy
Supportive, design-focused culture
Attractive benefits package

Why This Role?

High-rise structural engineering and Devon rarely go hand-in-hand — but this role offers exactly that. If you’re looking to stretch yourself technically on large, complex buildings without relocating, this is a standout opportunity
