Location: East & West Midlands (Home-Based)
Contract Type: Permanent
Sector: Structural Engineering Consultancy
Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 Basic

The Company

Our client is an independent structural engineering consultancy providing structural inspections, surveys and engineering reports across the residential and commercial sectors. Despite being a small team, they have built an excellent reputation by delivering high-quality structural assessments for homeowners, commercial clients and major national logistics businesses.

Due to continued growth and plans to expand further across the Midlands and into the South of England, they are looking to appoint an experienced Structural Engineer to join their team.

What's on Offer

• £40,000 - £55,000 basic salary.

The Role

• Conduct site visits using digital surveying technology (iPads).
• Liaise directly with homeowners, commercial clients and other stakeholders.
• Carry out inspections for a range of clients, including major national logistics companies.
• Work independently while managing your own workload and diary.
• Support the continued growth of the consultancy through high-quality client service.

• Chartered Engineer (MIStructE or MICE) preferred.
• Previous experience undertaking structural surveys and inspections.
• Strong technical report writing skills.
• Experience across residential properties, with commercial experience desirable.
• Good communication and client-facing skills.
