Collaboratively designing elegant, efficient and cost effective structures
We’re on the lookout for a brilliant and enthusiastic project engineer who’s ready to take the next big step in their career and join our growing team in Sheffield.
As a Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll lead the delivery of a wide variety of projects — from full house transformations and low-energy retrofits to one-off homes and small commercial schemes. You’ll be involved from the earliest sketches right through to seeing things built on site. It’s hands-on, creative work that makes a real difference.
You’ll also play a key role in shaping the future of our practice. We’re still a small team, and you’ll work closely with the Directors to help steer our direction and grow the business in a way we can all be proud of.
We’re a friendly, collaborative bunch who believe that great work comes from trust, support, and a shared love for good design. We’re looking for someone who brings solid experience, enjoys solving complex challenges, and takes real satisfaction in delivering high-quality, thoughtful engineering solutions.
“I find satisfaction in seeing projects through their whole design lifecycle often being involved on projects from concept to construction. Seeing your own designs be implemented in person is particularly rewarding and each stage of a project provides unique challenges and developing a variety of skills as an engineer.” – Max, Engineer

* A dedicated team player able to manage multiple projects and the work of others
* Proficient using engineering software and Microsoft Office Applications (or similar). Ability to quickly learn new software.
* Good sketching and model making skills and able to communicate technical details.
* A full driving licence
Ideally, you will have:
* Previous experience at a small to medium-sized practice
* Knowledge of designing structures for projects aiming for the Passivhaus standard.
* Experience leading structural projects at all work stages
* Good sketching skills and able to communicate technical details
* Experience of producing technical drawings using 2D CAD software
* Experience of using Tekla software including Tedds and Structural Designer
We offer:
* A competitive salary of £38,854 – £46,500 depending on experience
* Pension contributions in line with the statutory minimum requirements
* 28 days of annual leave including bank holidays rising to a maximum of 32 days as a result of long service
* Up to 2 weeks’ company sick pay
* Christmas shut down
* Support with training to meet your personal and professional development goals
Ideally this is a full time position but we will consider part time working for the right candidate.
We’re keen to hear from committed candidates even if you don’t necessarily meet all the skills and experience listed above. The right candidate is motivated, able to adapt and passionate about helping our practice to flourish. If you’re ready for a fresh start we would love to hear from you.
