Job Description & How to Apply Below
A well-established and highly respected multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy in the South West is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to join its growing team.
This is far from a “production-line” consultancy. Their work is shaped by the landscape, the environment, and the ambition of each project — resulting in a portfolio that is both diverse and technically stimulating. Projects range from clifftop residences and coastal/marine structures to island developments, zoological facilities, sustainable hospitality schemes, and complex refurbishments, alongside bespoke commercial work.
The business has built a reputation for delivering thoughtful, design-led engineering, working closely with architects and clients to strike the right balance between creativity and practicality. With structural, civil, and geotechnical teams working in true collaboration, they consistently deliver well-integrated, high-quality solutions.

Interpreting architectural and M&E information to produce coordinated structural designs
Preparing and reviewing technical documentation, including design reports, structural appraisals, and condition surveys
Ensuring compliance with Eurocodes, British Standards, and current regulatory requirements
Promoting best practice in health & safety across all project stages
Supporting fee proposals and tender submissions
Working collaboratively with civil and geotechnical engineers on integrated projects
Undertaking site visits, inspections, and construction monitoring
Building and maintaining strong working relationships with clients, architects, contractors, and local authorities About You
