Senior Facade Engineer Want to work with the most sought-after minds and most-talked about projects? Your design leadership in the Facades Discipline might just make you our new Senior/Associate Engineer.

We're looking for someone that wants to work on technically demanding projects and with such an enviable portfolio - including recent deliveries such as the , , and Waterfront - we can offer an unrivalled opportunity to push boundaries. 

Your next role: Play the role of Facades Job leader for projects. Work as part of a single or multi-disciplinary team attending and chairing meetings with architects, contractors, etc. in an advisory capacity. Developing jobs technically from initial client ideas. Provide input on design competitions and bids.  Support senior staff in providing strong design leadership on Façade Issues to the rest of the Client’s design team. Maintain good client relations throughout the job and work with a variety of stakeholders.  Mentor more junior team members, potentially leading to line management. Your skills and experience:

We envision that this position will interest a technically competent person with a solid foundation of Façade Engineering experience and provide an opportunity to further advance your career whilst working on some iconic global projects.

In return, we would expect you to be able to demonstrate considerable experience of design which should ideally include the majority of the following:

Knowledge of typical cladding systems. Awareness of basic weather Performance Issues. Architectural component detail design including aesthetics to meet Client’s vision. Fundamental Building Physics: Ventilation, Solar gain control, Thermal Insulation, Glare control etc. Façade structural design Experience advising on key aspects that can influence a design from a sustainability whole life cycle perspective. Experience of the practical aspects of handling and fabricating typical cladding materials.  Good awareness of the problems and constraints of the other major design disciplines such as Architectural, Structures, MEP, Fire Engineering, Acoustics, Computer Modelling, etc.  Achieved Chartered Engineer, Professional Engineer or equivalent registration with the ECUK or other appropriate body Academic knowledge of principles for Structural Engineering, MEP Services, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, or a joint qualification in any of these. Other formal qualifications such as the MSc in Façade Engineering from Bath University or PhD level research would naturally be of great interest. Ideally you will also have experience working on international projects, as well as domestic projects and be interested and willing to travel from time to time.

Ideally you will be an established Senior/Associate Engineer who can confidently provide design leadership in the Facades Discipline, from a secure technical base. Additionally, this role might suit an experienced Engineer ready and eager to take the next step and take the lead on complex projects. 

Naturally this role will require you to be able to understand and react to the changing design of the overall building and be able to communicate your ideas clearly in speech and good quality hand sketches, or other means as necessary. The ability to develop ideas convincingly “on the page” in a meeting will be a significant advantage.
