We are looking for a motivated graduate with a genuine interest in building structures and a desire to develop their career within a consultancy environment.
The Role
As a Graduate Structural Engineer, you will support the delivery of structural engineering projects from concept through to detailed design and construction. Working closely with experienced engineers, you will gain exposure to a variety of building types, materials, and construction methods, developing your understanding of structural design and how buildings are brought to life.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with the structural design and analysis of building structures across a range of sectors.
- Undertaking structural calculations for elements in steel, concrete, masonry, and timber.
- Supporting the preparation of structural drawings, reports, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Using design software and analysis tools to support engineering calculations and modelling.
- Working alongside senior engineers to develop practical and efficient design solutions.
- Liaising with architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines as part of a wider project team.
- Attending site visits and supporting engineers during the construction phase.
- Developing an understanding of relevant British Standards, Eurocodes, and industry guidance.
- Working towards professional chartership with support and guidance from experienced colleagues.
About You
You will ideally have:
- A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- A strong academic understanding of structural engineering principles.
- An interest in the design of building structures and working with different construction materials.
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with an eye for detail.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- The ability to work effectively as part of a team while developing the confidence to take ownership of tasks.
- A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
A relevant Master's degree and any previous placement, internship, or work experience within a structural engineering consultancy would be advantageous but are not essential.
