We’re recruiting for a Structural Engineer to join a growing multidisciplinary consultancy team in North Finchley, with a role focused on existing buildings, building safety, and technical reporting rather than pure new-build design.
This is a strong opportunity for an engineer who enjoys understanding how buildings perform, identifying defects, carrying out investigations, and producing clear, well-reasoned reports that support remediation, regulatory compliance, and safer outcomes.
The role
You’ll work on the assessment and reporting of existing structures, with responsibilities including:
* Structural condition surveys and inspections
* Intrusive investigations and opening-up works
* Defect diagnosis and causation analysis
* Structural input to FRAEW, PAS 9980 and Safety Case submissions
* Remediation feasibility studies and options appraisals
* Technical reports to support funding, regulatory approval and construction delivery
This is an advisory and investigation-led position. While there may be some refurbishment and strengthening input, this is not a primary new-build structural frame design role.
What we’re looking for
* Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
* Chartered IStructE / ICE, or working towards Chartership (This is essential)
* Around 5+ years’ experience in structural engineering
* Strong background in existing buildings, refurbishment, remediation, inspections, investigations, defect diagnosis, and technical reporting
* Experience supporting building safety work such as FRAEW, PAS 9980 or Safety Case submissions
* Knowledge of UK Building Regulations, Eurocodes, CDM and the Building Safety Act
* Comfortable working in a multidisciplinary team and acting as a trusted technical advisor to clients
Why this role stands out
This is ideal for someone who wants to focus on looking after existing buildings, understanding risk, and producing reporting that helps clients make sound decisions on safety, compliance, repair, strengthening, and refurbishment. You’ll be working closely with architects, building surveyors, fire engineers, and project teams in a role where technical reporting is central.
* Salary up to £70,000, depending on experience
