75,000 to 88,000 for an associate structural engineer who wants real ownership at a practice close enough to London to keep the work interesting and far enough out to keep the commute sane.
This is an established civil and structural engineering consultancy in the south west London area, working across residential, commercial and education projects.
They are appointing an associate to help lead the technical side and shape how the team grows, which means genuine seniority rather than a title.
The role exists because the practice is busy and wants an experienced engineer who can both deliver complex work and bring others on.
You would lead schemes from concept to completion, own important client and architect relationships, mentor the engineers behind you, and have a real say in how the practice develops.
The firm is established enough to offer serious, varied projects and small enough that an associate genuinely influences its direction, with a credible route towards director.
This fits a chartered structural engineer with the experience and judgement to lead, who wants ownership and a stake in a growing practice rather than another rung on a corporate ladder.
Salary is between 75,000 and 88,000.
If the timing is not quite right today, a confidential conversation now still puts you front of mind for this role and others like it, and we will always be upfront about exactly what the position involves.
