Description:
We are seeking a Structural Engineer with 4+ years’ experience to join our small but busy office in Worthing, West Sussex.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the design, analysis, and oversight of various structural projects, working in a team to deliver structural designs, calculations, and reports.
Our Structural Engineers get involved in every stage of a project, from providing quotes and booking in visits to issuing invoices and answering queries once a design or report has been issued, so we’re looking for someone proactive and happy to take charge of their own projects/workload.
Benefits:
* Salary of £40,000-£60,000 (dependent on experience).

* Assistance to become Chartered if not already.
* Regular CPDs, toolbox talks and training provided by the Managing Director/Director/Senior Engineer.
* Dinner/drinks paid for on work nights out.
* The office overlooks Homefield Park, so it’s peaceful and a lovely place to stretch your legs on your lunch break.
* We have an office dog (a one-year-old golden retriever) that comes in most afternoons.
Essential requirements:
* Current design and drawing experience.
* Strong IT capabilities including current working knowledge of Microsoft Office and autoCAD.
* Full driving licence.
* Excellent command of the English language.
* Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.
* Ability to climb ladders, enter loft spaces, and other physical activities essential to the job including the ability to cope with heights.
* Legible hand calculations.
* Excellent knowledge and understanding of British Standards and Building Regulations.
* Strong degree in relevant subject.
* Ability to deal directly with clients, suppliers and contractors in a professional manner with minimal supervision.
Desirable skills:
* Chartered or near Chartered status.
* Contract Administration experience.
* Working knowledge of Revit.
* Party Wall Surveyor experience.
Responsibilities:
* Conducting site visits, drafting reports and proposing remedial works.
* Producing structural calculations, details and drawings to current British Standards and Building Regulations.
* Advising on Building Regulations applications and tender documentation.
* Carrying out design solutions in steel, concrete, timber and masonry.
* Providing on-site supervision.
* Checking calculations.
* Liaising with building control inspectors, clients, contractors, suppliers and consultants.
* Producing detailed working drawings and project documentation.
* Quoting, invoicing and managing your own workload.
