Structural Engineer

Are you a Structural Engineer looking for a progressive opportunity in Bristol? We are working with an award-winning structural and civil engineering consultancy with a reputation for thoughtful design, technical excellence and creative collaboration. From their central Bristol office they work across a diverse portfolio of projects – from contemporary residential and commercial developments to heritage restorations and community buildings. We’re looking for a talented Structural Engineer to join their growing Bristol team, contributing to innovative, sustainable, and beautifully crafted structures.

 

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a close-knit and design-led practice that values engineering ingenuity and teamwork. You’ll join an experienced group of structural engineers and technicians, working directly with architects, clients and contractors on a variety of projects across the South West and beyond. With support from senior colleagues, you’ll have the freedom to take ownership of your own projects – seeing them through from concept to completion – and play a key role in shaping the future of our Bristol office as it continues to expand.

 

We’re looking for a Structural Engineer with around four to five years’ experience, confident in working with the four main structural materials and comfortable taking a proactive role in design meetings and project delivery. You’ll have a keen eye for detail, the ability to communicate ideas clearly, and a genuine enthusiasm for well-considered structural design.

 

What’s On Offer

 

  • The chance to work on a diverse and creative range of projects – from bespoke homes to landmark developments.
  • A collaborative studio environment where your ideas are valued and your career can grow.
  • Mentorship and support toward Chartered Engineer status (IStructE or ICE).
  • Regular team events, CPD sessions, and opportunities to visit live project sites.
  • A modern Bristol workspace within easy reach of the city centre, with flexible working options.

 

What You Need To Succeed

 

  • At least four to five years’ structural design experience within a UK design consultancy.
  • Proficiency in designing with steel, concrete, timber, and masonry.
  • Experience liaising with architects, clients, and contractors in a professional, confident manner.
  • Ability to take ownership of projects and deliver designs from concept through to construction.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and creativity.
  • Proficiency in relevant design software (e.g. Tekla, Tedds, MasterSeries, or similar).
  • Desire to contribute to a supportive and collaborative team culture.
  • A passion for structural engineering and an interest in sustainable, elegant design.
  • Chartered with IStructE or ICE (preferred but not essential).
  • MEng or BEng in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
