Location: Central London

An opportunity for a Chartered Civil or Structural Engineer who is ready for a move into technical management. Our client is keen on considering someone at project/senior engineer level with good interpersonal and project delivery skills. Business growth and the retirement of the current incumbent makes this a priority appointment. On offer is a clear path to partnership with one of the UK’s longest established consultancies.
Your Role: You will be the technical manager for a team of five structural engineers, managing a predominantly structural workload associated with data centres, power distribution, renewable energy, commercial and residential buildings. You will be supported by your line manager, a partner in the business. There will be close contact with clients at project advisory and conceptual stages, and you will go on to plan and allocate work, provide guidance to your engineers and check completed designs. You will benefit from having an experienced team of engineers with good client and project knowledge. The civil and structural team works in profitable sectors providing long term demand, it will steadily expand and you will play a key role in project selection and the recruitment of new staff.

Their capabilities span civil and structural engineering, building surveying and project management for public and private sector clients. They are a large, highly regarded firm, not a corporate giant.
Trading Advantage: The civil and structural division has a trading advantage over traditional consulting engineers.
