Structural Design Engineer in London

We have a fantastic new job opportunity for a Structural Design Engineer to join a growing team and help drive the company’s next stage of development. This is a key role with real responsibility and a clear pathway for growth — to Senior Structural Engineer to Project Engineer, and to Principal Engineer.

As the Structural Design Engineer you’ll be working directly alongside the Principal Engineers and Managing Director, contributing to a vibrant pipeline of projects valued between £5m and £25m. The company offers a highly supportive and technically strong environment, with structured training for those looking to achieve Chartered Membership with the Institution of Structural Engineers (MIStructE) — led in-house by the MD and Chartered Engineers.

The company is proud to foster a culture where initiative is encouraged, contribution is valued, and professional development is a shared priority. If you’re ready to step into a role that’s challenging, rewarding, and full of opportunity — this is it.

The company is building more than just structures — they’re building a high-performance, people-centred consultancy that thrives on creativity, technical excellence, and genuine collaboration. The company is an ambitious practice with an appetite for outstanding design and delivery, working on a fast-growing portfolio of residential, commercial, leisure and industrial projects across the UK.

The practice is driven by a deep belief in doing things right — putting client satisfaction first, pushing for continuous improvement, and supporting one another to achieve their best. They don’t do politics or red tape — they focus on delivering value, learning fast, and growing together.

This is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to join a tight-knit, ambitious, and forward-thinking team that’s passionate about engineering excellence and real project impact. You’ll work directly with the Managing Director and the Chartered Principal Engineers on meaningful, high-value projects that stretch your creativity and technical skillset.

The company offers true flexibility, genuine autonomy, and a strong focus on professional growth — including full support toward IStructE Chartership. You’ll play a key role in shaping not only your projects but also the future of the company as they continue to grow.
