The Role

You will play a key role in delivering a broad range of building structure projects, particularly within the residential and education sectors. Working closely with clients and internal teams, you will be the lead point of contact on assigned projects—overseeing structural design, coordination, and delivery from concept to completion.

  • Provide technical oversight and guidance to junior team members
  • Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, including architects and contractors
  • Prepare calculations, drawings, and specifications
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time and to quality standards
  • Support and progress towards chartership (if not yet achieved)

Requirements

  • Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
  • Proven experience in building structures (residential, education, etc.)
  • Strong technical ability in structural design
  • Approaching chartered status (IStructE or ICE)
  • Confident communicator with strong initiative
  • Familiar with timber engineering (advantageous but not essential)

Package

  • Salary: £45,000 – £50,000 depending on experience
  • Pension scheme and health benefits
  • Flexible working: option to work from home 1–2 days per week
  • Central Scotland market focus

Why Join?

  • Excellent project variety across sectors
  • Direct line of communication with senior leadership
  • Clear progression path and growing responsibility
  • Opportunity to take ownership and lead from day one
  • Supportive environment for chartership and continued development
