• Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, and contractors to ensure structural integration across disciplines is seamless.
• Undertake design reviews and quality assurance checks of junior colleagues' outputs.
• Perform site visits for feasibility analysis, inspections, and to support project progress.
• Participate in technical and client meetings, supporting presentations to stakeholders.
• Contribute to internal improvements by refining design processes or enhancing digital workflows and toolsets.

• Approximately 2 years of relevant structural design experience, including the use of analysis software (e.g., Tekla, SCIA, SAP
  2000, IDEA Statica) and CAD/BIM tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
• Solid understanding of steel, concrete, masonry, and/or timber design in line with UK regulatory standards.
• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal; comfortable producing technical reports and engaging with teams/clients.
