Job Description

We have an opportunity for a UK-based Contract Structural Engineer to work on a remote basis, for a well-respected consultancy to support a growing pipeline of residential projects. This is a fully remote opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys working on practical, buildable designs and contributing to the delivery of low-rise residential developments. The consultancy has built a strong reputation for providing pragmatic engineering solutions across the UK residential sector and is looking to bring in additional contract support as project demand continues to increase.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative and technically strong engineering team delivering structural design for low-rise residential schemes. Much of the work will focus on masonry structures, with projects typically including housing developments, small residential blocks, and developer-led schemes. You will work closely with experienced engineers and technicians, contributing to concept design, calculations, and technical problem-solving across a varied portfolio of projects. This role offers the chance to work on multiple developments simultaneously while enjoying the flexibility of a fully remote contract arrangement.

This is a flexible contract role where hours will vary from week-to-week – typically this may be c. 20 hours per week though at busier times may range up to 40. We’re looking for a capable Structural Engineer with solid experience in residential design who can confidently produce and review structural calculations for masonry structures. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently, managing their own workload, and collaborating remotely with a wider engineering team.

Opportunity to work on a steady pipeline of UK residential developments.

Understanding of UK building regulations and relevant Eurocodes.
	
Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, technicians and external consultants in a remote environment.
