You’ll take the lead on structural surveys, defect analysis, remedial recommendations and reporting, working across a broad range of building types including residential, commercial, healthcare and education.

* Mentor and assist junior engineers and technicians within the team.
* Maintain high standards of quality and follow internal QA and compliance processes.

* Broad UK experience across concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures.
* Excellent written and verbal communication — able to produce clear reports and client-facing advice.
