Senior Structural Engineer

Enjoy real responsibility, varied projects, and a team that values practical solutions and commercial sense from day one. At JMS, you'll work on everything from unique residential builds to multi-storey commercial sites worth up to £12m, handling client conversations and technical decisions instead of endless process.

JMS is known for efficiency, autonomy, and work that makes a difference – here, your designs get built, and your ideas shape communities.

• Deliver designs that actually get built – enjoy a varied portfolio, from bespoke homes and commercial buildings to historic renovations, retail spaces, infrastructure, and industrial projects.
• Engage closely with clients, architects, and contractors, shaping design decisions through proactive collaboration and clear communication.
• Manage your own team, workload and projects, supported by experienced engineers who let you lead.
• Apply technical judgment to solve problems quickly, not get bogged down in paperwork.

• Civil or Structural Engineering degree, ideally working toward Chartership.
• 6+ years UK design experience, with confidence in multi-material structures.
• Commercial awareness; understanding the balance between design ambition and real project delivery.
• Clear, practical communicator; willing to take the wheel and own your work.

• Freedom from micromanagement – genuine autonomy in your work.
• Varied, challenging portfolio: apartments, homes, commercial, and more.
• Practical mentorship, Chartership support, and a competitive salary.
• Work within a skilled, collaborative team committed to innovation and quality.
• Opportunity to see your designs built – not buried in bureaucracy.

Engineers who thrive in fast-paced, practical, and commercially minded teams will find this role rewarding.
