Structural Engineer in Newcastle upon Tyne

Job Description

Overview

You'll play a key role in delivering projects within our Building Structures team in Yorkshire and the Northeast, taking responsibility for both design and project delivery across a varied client base. Our work is underpinned by a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, ethics, and safety, and you'll be central to embedding these principles in everything you do. You will contribute to the design and delivery of projects while developing your technical expertise and supporting collaborative team outcomes. Join our established team based in Leeds and Newcastle.

From detailed design on new build developments to the assessment and strengthening of existing structures, no two projects are the same - offering excellent scope to broaden your experience and develop your expertise. The Yorkshire and Northeast team combine a strong local presence with the backing of a global organization, providing the best of both worlds: meaningful regional work with national and international support, knowledge sharing, and career development opportunities.
