Continuous improvement — Contribute to the development of engineering tools, processes, and internal standards.
Design reviews — Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and project meetings.
Requirements
Degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related discipline.
Significant experience in structural analysis and design, ideally involving complex or bespoke structures.
Strong understanding of stress, deflection, stability, and dynamic behaviour.
Proficiency with structural analysis tools such as RISA‑3D, SAP2000, Robot, or similar.
Knowledge of Eurocodes, BS standards, or equivalent international codes.
Experience designing with steel and aluminium; composites experience beneficial.
Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities.
Chartered Engineer (CEng) status or working towards chartership preferred.
Experience in entertainment engineering, temporary works, stage machinery, or kinetic structures is advantageous.
Exposure to dynamic load cases and design-for-manufacture environments.
Experience mentoring junior engineers.

Cycle to Work scheme
Income protection / critical illness cover
Optional private medical insurance
22 days annual leave (increasing with service) + UK bank holidays
