Summary

Hays are working confidentially with an established structural engineering consultancy in Newcastle looking to add a Graduate Structural Engineer to their team.

Ideally, they're looking for someone with around 1-2 years' post-graduate experience, although strong recent graduates would also be considered.

The work

It's a genuinely varied workload, including:

Heritage and refurbishment projects, including alterations and additions to historic buildings

Retail projects for major supermarkets and Tier 1 contractors

Structural support for refits and M&E installations

Façade engineering, connections and temporary works checks

Schools, hospitals, offices and smaller specialist projects

A mix of traditional structural design and more interesting analytical work, including FEA

There's also good exposure to site work, typically 1-2 days per week, with projects covering the North East, Yorkshire and occasionally into Scotland.

The business

One of the standout benefits is that the company is employee-owned, with the team sharing in the success of the business through a company-wide bonus scheme. Historically, this has represented a significant addition to basic salary and isn't based on individual performance.

You'll predominantly be office-based in Newcastle, working closely with experienced engineers and getting plenty of practical project and site exposure. A full UK driving licence and access to a car are desirable.

If you're an early-career Structural Engineer looking for something with a bit more variety than a typical design-office role, apply below for a confidential chat.
