Digital Structural Technician
London
Permanent
Salary - £40,000 - £50,000 (depending on experience) + Benefits
I’m working with a high-quality, design-led structural engineering practice in Central London who are looking to strengthen their in-house digital and BIM capability.
This is a genuinely interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys Revit, but is equally motivated by computational and analytical modelling. It is not a typical "Revit technician" role and will suit someone keen to work closer to engineering, data and digital workflows.
The Practice
* Independent structural engineering consultancy, established 6 years
* 23–25 people
* Known for delivering large, complex projects well above their size
* Current workload includes:
o Multiple projects over £100m construction value
o Many schemes in the £50–£80m range
o A recent £300m, 620,000 sq ft commercial development in the City
* Predominantly commercial office projects (Zone 1 & 2, London)
* Mix of retrofit, extension and new build
* Broad structural palette: steel, concrete and innovative timber
* Additional work across residential (including social housing), higher education, labs and cultural buildings
* Highly technical and design environment
Why They’re Hiring
The practice already works with a small external Revit team and has an experienced in-house BIM Lead coordinating delivery. That model has worked well, and the next step is to grow the internal team to support increasingly large and technically demanding projects.
Around 60–70% of the role will involve analytical modelling and digital workflows, rather than pure drawing production.
The Role
You’ll work closely with the BIM Lead and engineering team to:
* Develop and manage structural Revit models
* Create and extract analytical models from Revit
* Support and improve digital delivery across live projects
* Use and develop workflows in Rhino, Grasshopper and Python
* Help drive smarter, more automated and data-led processes
* Coordinate with external BIM resources where required
Candidate Profile
They are looking for someone with:
* At least 2–3 years’ experience (ideally 5–6 years)
* Strong Revit experience within structural engineering
* A clear interest in digital design, computation and analysis
* Experience with (or strong interest in) Rhino / Grasshopper / Python
* A proactive, engaged approach and enthusiasm for improving workflows
* Comfort working independently within a small, collaborative team
Working Style & Culture
* Primarily work-from-office, with flexibility where needed
* Relaxed, supportive culture
* No micromanagement
* People here are trusted to manage their own time and workload
Office & Location
* Based near Blackfriars tube station
* Large studio space (they are also the engineers redeveloping the building)
* Committed to staying in this area, with short-term office plans underway
Benefits & Package
* Competitive salary (open for the right person)
* Pension: 8% employer / 5% employee
* 25 days annual leave
* Target 10% bonus, paid in summer and winter (historically paid)
* 6 months full-pay maternity leave
* 4 weeks paid paternity leave
* Monthly in-office events (technical talks, industry sessions or socials)
* + more!
