This role will require you to use your knowledge and expertise to define and translate clients’ needs into designs for buildings, infrastructure, facilities, and services with sustainability at the forefront of the design.
You’ll have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop, and with accredited professional development programmes from the IStructE or ICE, you’ll be supported towards Chartership.

- You are organised and methodical in your approach to managing your tasks and priorities, striving to meet deadlines.
- Collaborative in nature, you’ll be able to empathise with your clients’ needs and utilise excellent communication skills, both in writing and verbally, with internal and external stakeholders. You’re used to using your initiative to overcome challenges and have a positive, can-do attitude.
