AMS SURVEYS | Liverpool / North West | Full Time
Residential | Commercial | Heritage | Structural Engineering
AMS SURVEYS is looking for an experienced Structural Engineer to join our growing multidisciplinary property consultancy.
This is an opportunity to work alongside Chartered Building Surveyors, Building Engineers, graduates and other property professionals across a varied portfolio of residential, commercial and historic buildings, while playing a key role in developing the structural engineering capability of the practice.
The position would suit a Structural Engineer who enjoys the variety of existing buildings, investigation and refurbishment work, and who wants the opportunity to help shape and grow a structural engineering team in the future.
The Role
You will provide structural engineering expertise across projects ranging from residential property investigations through to commercial buildings, historic structures, refurbishment and alteration projects.
Projects will include:
- Structural inspections and defect investigations
- Assessment of cracking, movement and structural defects
- Structural input into pre-acquisition surveys
- Residential, commercial and historic building investigations
- Refurbishment and alteration projects
- Structural appraisal of existing buildings
- Assessment of walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural frames
- Structural design for alterations, openings and modifications
- Extensions and refurbishment schemes
- Structural calculations, drawings and specifications
- Advice relating to traditional and historic construction
- Working alongside Chartered Building Surveyors on complex building pathology cases
- Supporting feasibility and early-stage design work
- Liaising with clients, architects, contractors and other consultants
- Supporting graduates and less experienced members of the wider technical team
The work will involve both site-based investigation and design, providing an opportunity to follow projects from initial inspection and diagnosis through to engineering solutions and implementation.
A Multidisciplinary Environment
AMS SURVEYS operates across three core areas:
Residential
Pre-acquisition surveys, structural investigations, defect diagnosis, refurbishment and alterations.
Commercial
Commercial building surveys, condition surveys, structural investigations, refurbishment, planned works and property consultancy.
Heritage
Historic and listed buildings, traditional construction, conservation-led refurbishment, structural defects and sensitive alterations.
You will work closely with professionals ranging from graduates through to Chartered Building Surveyors, providing structural engineering knowledge as part of a genuinely multidisciplinary approach to buildings.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- A Structural Engineer, ideally MIStructE, or an appropriately Chartered Engineer with substantial structural engineering experience
- Experienced in the assessment and design of existing buildings
- Comfortable inspecting and diagnosing structural defects
- Experienced in refurbishment and alteration workAble to prepare structural calculations, specifications and technical reports
- Confident communicating engineering matters clearly to both professional and non-technical clients
- Commercially aware and capable of managing their own workload and projects
- Interested in working collaboratively across building surveying, building engineering and structural engineering disciplines
Experience with historic buildings, traditional construction and building pathology would be particularly valuable, although it is not essential.
Opportunity to Build Something
This is not intended to be a narrowly defined structural design role.
AMS SURVEYS is continuing to expand its Residential, Commercial and Heritage services, and structural engineering is a natural extension of the work we already undertake.
For the right person, there will therefore be genuine scope to:
- Develop new structural engineering services
- Influence how the structural discipline operates within the business
- Build relationships with existing and new clients
- Help recruit and mentor future engineers
- Build and ultimately lead a structural engineering team
- Progress into a senior leadership role as the division expands
We are particularly interested in someone who wants to combine technical engineering with the opportunity to help develop a business and build a team around them.
