Project/Senior Structural Engineer

£40k-£0k

South London

Would you be keen to join a modern and innovative structural design studio in South London and work on bespoke architecturally led projects?

This boutique design consultancy is based in South London, close to tube and overground rail. The Directors are all MIStructE qualified and are working with top architects. They can provide excellent support for Chartership, and the work lends itself well to achieving this status, if not already achieved.

This role would suit a candidate with a good degree and several years of experience in a buildings design role, ideally recently Chartered. You should have a passion for architecture and be eager to be part of a small but growing team where everyone counts.

Projects are often niche high-end schemes, mainly in the private residential sector but also including schools, shops, sports halls, universities, offices, and other various works. Projects range from small to up to 0m in value, and work is usually architecturally led. Examples include a private house with a sunken swimming pool involving intricate architectural detailing. The firm uses Tekla and Tedds; experience with BlueBeam would be useful.

The studio team currently has fewer than 10 staff but is growing, with long-term aims to become a medium-sized practice. They have a modern office space in a great location in South London, near the river, pubs, shops, and a park. They offer excellent career development, CPD, flexible working hours, and work-from-home Fridays. When in the office, lunches are often provided, and a fruit basket is delivered regularly. The firm has a very active social life and a family-like atmosphere. All staff are commercially aware and work on a trust basis—no timesheets required.
