Description:
Senior Structural Engineer
Wakefield
An established and growing independent Consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Structural Engineer to strengthen its close-knit structural team in Wakefield. With a strong reputation for delivering practical, buildable engineering solutions, the business operates across a broad mix of sectors including residential, commercial, industrial and community developments, supporting schemes from early concept through to completion.
The structural team plays a central role within the business, providing a full suite of engineering services across both new build and existing structures. Their work spans feasibility studies, structural assessments, detailed design and analysis, supporting projects through all stages while maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety and buildability. It's a hands-on team with a solid technical backbone, where engineers are actively involved in problem solving and delivery rather than sitting at arm's length from the detail.
This is very much a role for a practical, delivery-focused engineer who enjoys being close to the detail. You'll be involved in the design and assessment of structures across all primary materials including steel, reinforced concrete, timber and masonry, taking ownership of your own projects from initial concept through to completion. The role will see you producing calculations, drawings and reports, while also reviewing the work of more junior engineers and contributing to the continued growth of the team.
You'll gain exposure across the full project lifecycle, including client interaction, coordination with architects and contractors, and involvement during construction stages. Given the size and structure of the team, there is a real opportunity to take responsibility and play a visible role in project delivery, with direct access to senior engineers and decision-makers.
The Consultancy operates with a straightforward, down-to-earth culture. It's not overly corporate, and engineers are trusted to get on with the job, supported when needed but without unnecessary layers of management. Decisions are made quickly, and there is genuine scope to influence both projects and the wider direction of the team as it continues to grow.
They are ideally looking for someone operating at Senior level with solid UK Consultancy experience and a strong grounding in structural design. You'll be comfortable managing your own workload, confident dealing with clients and project teams, and motivated to continue progressing professionally, whether that's working toward Chartership or building on existing accreditation.
The Wakefield office is well located with good access to Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire region, making it an easy commute from a range of surrounding areas.
In return, you'll be joining a well-regarded Consultancy that values practical engineering, offers a high level of autonomy, and provides a supportive environment where good engineers are trusted and given room to grow.
