We are currently partnered with one of the leading structural engineering practices in West Sussex as they look to add a Senior Structural Engineer to their division in Worthing.
The consultancy was established in the early 1990s. The office is situated a few minutes' walk from the town centre and the seafront, within 20 minutes of Brighton and 1.5 hours' train ride of London. Work-wise, they cover Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Kent and some parts of London, too.
their projects range from simple structural reports and designs for domestic properties to major renovation projects worth up to £5million, and their clients include homeowners, managing agents, insurance companies and loss adjusters.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the design, analysis, and oversight of various structural projects, working in a team to deliver structural designs, calculations, and reports.
Their team of structural engineers get involved in every stage of a project, from providing quotes and booking in visits to issuing invoices and answering queries once a design or report has been issued, so we're looking for someone proactive and happy to take charge of their own projects/workload.
