step into an associate role shaping sustainable civil engineering

You are already operating at a senior level and want your next move to be into a practice that treats sustainability as a genuine design discipline, not a box to tick at the end of a project.This is a London based structural and civil engineering consultancy with a strong reputation for environmentally led design, working across residential, commercial and mixed use developments for clients who care about the sustainability credentials of what gets built. The practice is known for being genuinely progressive on carbon reduction and material reuse rather than simply talking about it, and that thinking runs through every stage of a project, not just the early concept work.If you are currently senior in your team but still waiting for a formal step up, or find that sustainability thinking gets diluted once a project reaches site, this associate role is designed to give you both. You will lead your own projects, mentor more junior engineers, and have real input into how the practice approaches embodied carbon and material choice across its work. There is a clear route towards further progression for engineers who want to build a long term career here, along with genuine autonomy over how projects are run day to day.Salary is between 75,000 and 88,000, depending on experience.If this sounds like the next step in your career, get in touch for a confidential conversation.If you've read this far and you're still unsure and would prefer a detailed market insight including salary bands and market trends - then check out our free guide here: https://www.responsumltd.com/uk-salary-guide-2026
