We are seeking an experienced Principal Structural Engineer to play a pivotal role in establishing and growing our structural engineering capability in Nottingham. This is a key strategic hire and foundational role – offering a rare opportunity to shape, grow, and lead a new structural team within an established and successful Midlands Buildings Structures Team. The role offers excellent opportunities for personal and professional progression for the right candidate, and we are particularly keen to hear from individuals who demonstrate strong potential for future growth. In your first 12 months, you will support our Birmingham Building Structures team (typically one day per week in Birmingham), within the Midlands Buildings & Places sub-region, contributing to technical delivery, client engagement, and team leadership across a strong pipeline of projects. As capability and workload develop locally, this role will transition into a Nottingham-based team leader position, with responsibility for establishing and growing a structural engineering team. This role requires someone who is comfortable working independently, taking ownership and helping to build something new, rather than relying on day-to-day direction. You will play a key role in delivering innovative, sustainable, and technically excellent design solutions, while helping expand our regional presence and client base.
