  • Take ownership of several key partner relationships within 6 months, becoming fully integrated and trusted by the team and clients;
  • Be technically strong, commercially aware, and add real value in client meetings and design discussions;
  • Work on high-end residential projects, including large extensions, lofts, basements, refurbishments, and heritage work.

We are looking for a Principal - Associate Structural Engineer with a:

  • Minimum of 8-10 years of solid relevant UK experience in the structural engineering sector, ready to step in at a senior level;
  • Proven ability to do the work and lead projects;
