Job Description

Senior Structural Engineer London £65K-£70K

If you enjoy existing buildings, site work, and solving structural problems that don t come with a neat set of drawings you ll like this.

I m recruiting for a multi-disciplinary property + construction consultancy with a long track record in the UK, built around a simple idea: improve the communities people live and work in.

This role sits in their London team and is a great fit if you want variety, autonomy, and a strong mix of surveys + design.

Why this is worth your time
  • Hybrid working is part of how they operate, with a big emphasis on team culture, socials, and looking after people.
  • Benefits are well thought through: flexible/hybrid working, 25 days holiday + bank holidays, festive shutdown, health cash plan, pension, professional membership support, volunteering leave, early finish incentives when targets are hit, and more.
  • They re an accredited Living Wage Employer, which tells you a lot about how they think about fair pay.
  • Multi-disciplinary setup means you ll be around other experts (surveying, PM, QS, civils etc.) which helps when you re working on complex existing assets.
The role: Senior Structural Engineer

You ll be the go-to engineer on a mix of small to medium projects (up to £50m), with a strong weighting towards:
  • Structural / condition surveys, inspections, defect diagnosis and report writing.
  • Intrusive + non-intrusive investigations and practical remediation advice.
  • Design solutions across masonry, timber, RC and steel, plus foundations/basements where needed.
  • Working with clients and design teams to keep scopes, deliverables and fees clear.
  • You ll be out on site across London and the South East, so strong written English and confidence dealing with stakeholders matters.
What s needed for the role?
  • Chartered Structural Engineer (IStructE or ICE)
  • Strong understanding of building construction + UK regs
  • Comfortable owning workstreams independently, while still being a team player
  • Solid experience with existing buildings, surveys, inspections and reports (this is key)
Note: Some projects may require DBS and/or security clearance (BPSS / CTC / SC / DV).
