Structural Engineer- Project Manager
Company Overview
An established and steadily growing engineering practice is seeking a motivated Structural Engineer to join its team. The firm operates with a lean, high‑trust structure where engineers are empowered to take ownership of their work and contribute meaningfully to the organisation's long‑term success. The environment is professional, supportive, and built around technical excellence without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Role Summary
This position is ideal for a mid‑level structural engineer who thrives on autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to manage projects from start to finish, taking full ownership of the entire lifecycle- including scoping, analysis, design, coordination, and delivery.

From there, you are trusted to run the project independently, making sound technical decisions, coordinating with stakeholders, and ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met. Check‑ins will be periodic and focused on high‑level review rather than day‑to‑day oversight.
This role is designed for someone who wants to operate as a true project lead and grow into a key contributor within the firm.
