Structural Engineers (Hybrid) in Theale

Our Defence and Security provide 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, 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 and can accommodate outside 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, etc., then 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

We’ll inspire and empower you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow and succeed – today and into tomorrow. We offer an exciting range of opportunities to develop your career within a supportive and diverse team who always strive to do the right thing for our people, clients and communities. People are our greatest asset, and we offer a competitive package to retain and attract the best talent.

In addition to the benefits you’d expect, UK employees also receive 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 also give back to our communities through our Collectively programme which incorporates matched-funding, paid volunteering time and charitable donations. Work-life balance and flexibility is a key focus area for us. We’re happy to discuss hybrid, part-time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and our business.
