Structural Design Engineers

About the Opportunity

Our Defence and Security provides design and engineering services for our nuclear and defence clients across the UK and abroad. Our team is experiencing exciting growth and long‑term prospects within our established practice (140 Plus Civil/Structural) and we are looking for Structural Engineers with transferable skills who are passionate about developing themselves and meeting new challenges.

We offer hybrid working with 1–2 days in the office, which can be accommodated in any UK office. Occasional site visits may be necessary.

We are looking to recruit and develop career‑minded people to bolster our well‑established and growing multi‑discipline engineering delivery capability to meet opportunities in the nuclear and defence industries. Our projects include developing solutions through all RIBA stages in highly regulated environments, in support of air, land and sea defence establishments, the UK nuclear submarine fleet, and both existing and new build nuclear power stations.

If you are a Structural Engineer with experience in the analysis and design of large industrial facilities – e.g. power station buildings, large manufacturing facilities, dockyards – we want to speak with you.

Knowledge of some of the following would be beneficial, but not essential:

• Seismic analysis and/or design
• Blast analysis
• Finite Element Analysis
• Soil‑Structure Interaction

• Good all‑round technical design expertise using British, American and international standards, and/or Eurocodes.
• Proven ability to manage projects and prepare project deliverables, including managing quality, budget, programme and resources.
• Good understanding of structural theory, with proven problem‑solving ability.
• Proven ability in preparation of bids and proposals, and developing good working relationships with clients.
• Good, accredited MEng degree in Civil Engineering or similar.
• Ideally Chartered Civil or Structural Engineer, or working towards this with support.

Our competitive package includes free single medical cover and digital GP service, family‑friendly benefits such as enhanced parental leave pay and free membership of employee assistance and parental programmes, plus reimbursement towards relevant professional development and memberships.

We prioritise work‑life balance and flexibility. We can discuss hybrid, part‑time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and the business.

As a Disability Confident employer, we will interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy. We welcome applications from candidates who are seeking flexible working and from those who may not meet all the listed requirements for a role.
