This is an exciting opportunity to join a specialist firm with a strong technical pedigree, offering exposure to a variety of sectors including rail, industrial, commercial, restoration, domestic, and even event structures.

Our client is a specialist scaffolding consultancy with a reputation for blending engineering precision with practical, on-site awareness. Their team is made up of engineers with deep technical expertise and hands-on experience, allowing them to design with real-world constraints and buildability in mind.
Their work spans everything from scaffold design and temporary works to permanent structures, and they pride themselves on delivering pragmatic and innovative solutions that work for everyone involved — from contractors to clients to site teams.

As a Structural Design Engineer, you’ll play a key part in delivering technical designs for steel-framed structures, foundations, and supporting temporary and permanent works solutions.

Proficient with structural analysis and design tools (e.g. TEDDS, Tekla TSD, Robot, or similar)
Comfortable reading and producing technical drawings using AutoCAD
Ability to think practically and provide buildable solutions
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Any experience in scaffold or temporary works design would be advantageous but not essential
Full UK driving licence
