Job Description

Senior Structural Engineer – Future Director Opportunity

I am working with a highly regarded, well-established structural engineering practice that, despite its small size, consistently punches well above its weight. With a team of only a handful of staff, the business has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality work and maintaining long-standing client relationships.

This is a rare opportunity for a driven structural engineer to work directly alongside the two directors in a genuinely flat, collaborative environment - with the chance to play a key role in shaping the future of the business.

The Business

The company specialises in projects across the commercial, residential, and industrial sectors, typically ranging from £10m–£15m in construction value. They benefit from a strong pipeline of repeat business and referrals, working closely with Tier 2 contractors and developers. Thanks to their reputation and relationships, they rarely rely on competitive tendering to secure work.

Reputation & Approach

A key strength of the practice is its hands-on, front-end service. Both directors are actively involved in projects and maintain direct client contact, ensuring a consistent, reliable, and high-quality service.

There is no hierarchy or unnecessary bureaucracy - just a flat structure built on trust, accountability, and open communication.

Growth & Succession

With one of the directors, planning to step back in the coming years, the business is now looking for a “safe pair of hands” to join the team. This individual will take on a leading role, working closely with the remaining director and a clear pathway toward directorship.

This is a genuine succession opportunity for someone looking to take ownership and help drive the next phase of growth.

The Opportunity

This role would suit an engineer who:

Is confident in both technical design and client-facing responsibilities
	
Enjoys developing and maintaining strong client relationships
	
Wants to play a key role in shaping and growing a business
	
Is ambitious and interested in progressing to director level

Benefits

Two annual bonuses (circa 20% combined)
	
Company car
	
Strong emphasis on autonomy
