We are looking for a Civil/Structural Engineer to join our office in South West London, Kingston.

We are looking for an ambitious team-player with at least five years experience. The position would suit a highly technical engineer, with at least a Master's degree, confident in concept design and in pushing boundaries of design. The following technical skills and abilities would be treated as suitable for our workload:

* Ability to design steel and concrete structures and push the design to the limit.

* Ability to consider details in connections and optimize connections for fabrication and assembly.

* Ability to consider rebar detailing in RC structures.

* Ability to adapt skills to work on complex structures such as large span, tower structures, rehabilitation.

* Experience in retrofit and strengthening.

* Seismic design and the use of EC8, ASCE or IBC.

* Bridge inspections and experience in proposing bridge repair solutions.

* Building inspections and experience in detailing repair solutions.

* Structural investigation and NDT testing.

* Familiarity with SCIA/Idea Statica.

* Temporary works design.

We are one of the first signatories to the Engineers Declare movement and as such have a passion for delivering very cost-efficient solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible.

We provide the following services:

* Design and Value Engineering of Structures for Logistics, Data Centres, Industrial Facilities and Energy projects. This may include dynamic analysis and seismic analysis

* Structural investigations and assessments that include intrusive and NDT testing of foundations, buildings and bridges.

* Slope stability analysis, retaining walls design, soil-structure interaction studies and design of various types of foundations and ground solutions.

* Design of RC Framed Buildings to the Eurocode.

* Repair design of RC Framed Buildings. We provide bespoke repair solutions for flexural and shear strengthening, columns strengthening, frames strengthening and modification.

* Bridge inspections and principal inspections, followed by repair proposals and strengthening design.

* Design of Steel Structures (single storey and multi-storey) to Eurocodes and AISC including application of seismic loads, non-linear behaviour and local/global failure modes.

* Design and detailing of Steel Structures.

* Modification and strengthening of steel structures including plating, connections strengthening, restoring or adding bracing, reducing loading and repurposing buildings.

* Bespoke foundations solutions including rafts, piled rafts, retaining walls, embedded piles, basements. Experience in geotechnical design is a plus.

* Temporary works design including propping and shoring of deep excavations. Experience in similar schemes is a plus.

As a result of our growth, we are looking for a civil structural engineer to join our team. You will be expected to work on design projects involving concrete and steel mainly. You will also be required to work on site investigation and evaluate design proposals. You will be provided with support to meet the project commitments.
