About the Role

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you will be working closely with our Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS) teams to design, develop, and deliver custom electrical and mechanical development projects. Your expertise in FE analysis and simulation will enable us to predict failure modes and optimize our infrastructure for maximum efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Communicating solutions and designs to varying levels of seniority in both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Quality and timely delivery of your own work.
  • Estimation of work and contribution to project planning.
  • Identifying and communicating technical risks and mitigating them.
  • Supporting design variation studies and contributing to peer/design reviews.

You will have a strong background in structural engineering, FE analysis, and simulation. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential, as you will be working with cross-functional teams and stakeholders. Our ideal candidate has experience as a Stress Analyst and is proficient in modern multiphysics tools.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will require:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related field.
  • Extensive experience as a structural engineer, preferably with a focus on FE analysis and simulation.
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to assess, challenge, and identify gaps in technical requirements.
What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary of £90,000 - £110,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus a range of benefits, including:

  • 25 days annual leave, rising to 27 days after 5 years service.
  • Pension scheme with employer contribution matching up to 7%.

  • Income Protection and Life Assurance.
  • 22 weeks paid maternity leave and 6 weeks paid paternity leave.
  • Train Ticket loan and Cycle to Work Scheme.
