Senior Structural Engineer in Birmingham

We have an opportunity for a Senior Structural Engineer to join our growing civil and structural engineering team in our Manchester studio. Our aspiration as engineers is to design inspiring buildings in which our engineering ideas help shape design rather than simply facilitate the delivery of an architect‑led solution. We aim to design structures with minimum impact on the planet and maximum value for our clients. You will play an active role in the creation of buildings and undertake a variety of technical tasks on diverse projects, across a number of sectors that include healthcare, education, retail and workplace.

BDP is a leading, global, multidisciplinary design practice united by a shared purpose: to design a world that’s built for good. For more than 60 years, we’ve been solving problems, creating innovative spaces, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We are a diverse, international practice of architects, engineers, designers, and urbanists. We work closely with our clients, users, and communities to craft spaces for living, working, learning, and enjoying life across the globe.

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated senior structural engineer with excellent design, technical, and software skills that enjoys working collaboratively in multi‑professional design teams. In this role you will be involved with the development of designs and the production of construction information for the delivery of major national and international projects. You will be a Chartered or near Chartered Senior Structural Engineer with relevant experience within a leading design firm that includes developing structural designs for building structures across all construction sectors. You will have good communication skills, be self‑organised, have a passion for structural design, enjoy working within a motivated team, and have an enthusiasm for architecture and building design. You will be able to demonstrate excellent technical aptitude and have experience in use of varied structural design analysis software. Experience of Tekla Structures, TEDDS, Staad PRO and Etabs would be beneficial. Experience of working within a BIM environment is desirable with knowledge of Revit beneficial.

In return, BDP can offer you a wide range of learning opportunities to encourage personal and professional career development. We are committed to being an employer of choice and offer a competitive remuneration and benefits package that includes an employee profit share scheme, tax‑efficient smart benefits, private medical insurance, life insurance, long‑term sickness insurance, interest‑free season ticket loans, health screening, opportunity to buy/swap holidays and enhanced maternity and paternity provision, plus many more.
