Senior Structural Engineer The Opportunity

We’re looking for an ambitious Senior Structural Engineer to join a thriving civil and structural engineering consultancy based in Exeter. This isn't a consultancy driven by volume or repetitive design work. Instead, the team focuses on delivering carefully chosen residential and commercial developments, providing bespoke engineering solutions from initial concept through to project completion.

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you'll enjoy genuine involvement throughout the project lifecycle, working closely with architects, developers, and clients from feasibility and planning stages right through to construction. If you're looking for greater autonomy, technical variety, and the opportunity to make a real impact, this role offers an excellent alternative to a larger corporate environment.

Our client has built an excellent reputation for delivering high‑quality engineering solutions across a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial projects. Their success is built on technical excellence, collaborative working, and long‑term relationships with both clients and design partners. With a growing workload and an exciting pipeline of projects, they’re now looking to strengthen their team with an experienced Senior Structural Engineer who shares their passion for delivering outstanding work.

As Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll play an integral role in delivering projects while helping support the continued growth of the business. Your responsibilities will include:

• Producing structural designs, calculations, drawings and technical reports to a high standard
• Working collaboratively with architects, consultants and clients to develop coordinated design solutions
• Undertaking structural surveys and feasibility assessments
• Providing engineering input during planning and early project development
• Managing client relationships and maintaining clear communication throughout each project
• Ensuring technical accuracy and quality across all deliverables
• Designing a wide range of residential and commercial schemes from concept through to completion
• Taking ownership of projects and making confident engineering decisions

This is a varied role where you’ll have the freedom to influence projects while working as part of a supportive and highly skilled team.

We’re looking for an experienced engineer who can demonstrate:

• Degree qualified in Civil or Structural Engineering
• At least five years’ industry experience
• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD and Tekla
• Experience using Revit, Site3D or Flow would be advantageous but isn’t essential
• Excellent communication, report writing and IT skills
• The ability to manage your own workload and deliver projects to agreed timescales
• A proactive approach with a passion for delivering high‑quality engineering solutions

You’ll benefit from an excellent package that includes:

• Competitive salary
• Flexible working arrangements
• Performance‑related annual bonus
• Private healthcare
• Clear and achievable career progression
• Accredited training and professional development
• Friendly, collaborative working environment
• Your birthday off every year

This is a consultancy that values quality over quantity, carefully selecting projects it can genuinely take pride in delivering. You’ll become part of a close‑knit team where your ideas are valued, your development is supported, and your work has a real influence on project success.

If you’re a Senior Structural Engineer looking for greater autonomy, varied projects, and the opportunity to grow with an ambitious consultancy, we’d love to hear from you.
