Job Details

Chartered Structural Engineers this way please…

7 years ago, at the tail-end of the big 'R', I began my recruitment career.

The market was just about recovering. The pace was picking up. Recruitment was back on the agenda for the first time in years for many of the Structural Engineering Consultancies in Scotland.

Although firms were busy, I rarely remember people feeling overworked. People were busy enough, or just about…

I've seen a monumental shift in culture since then.

Crazy deadlines. Ridiculously long hours. Unpaid overtime is now an expectation. Barely time for a brew and a Tunnock's wafer come 3pm!

So many companies are competing to be the best, at any cost. Does this sound like your employer?

Wouldn't it be a refreshing change if you could go to work, stick to your hours, enjoy your time in the office and not take things too seriously? Just enjoy being an Engineer, rather than feeling like a moving part in a corporate animal.

Well that job exists:

THE JOB

You will be joining my client as a Chartered Structural Engineer and lead a team of 5 others.

Currently there are 4 other Structural Engineers, one of which is around 12 months from Chartership. The rest have between 1 and 5 years' experience. Finally, a trusty CAD Technician will also be in your team.

You will of course be responsible for not only managing project delivery of the team but complete your own projects too. The occasional site visit (company car offered), pricing jobs, dealing with new job enquiries…

Hopefully nothing you won't be familiar with.

PROJECTS

To be completely honest the projects on offer are not eye-catching but certainly offer a nice variety to keep the week moving:

  • Schools - new build and surveys
  • Industrial - portal frame
  • Agricultural buildings
  • Specialist surveys - utilising drones
  • Residential - bespoke newbuild and conversions
  • Commercial/retail - the odd job here and there

PROSPECTS

If you are interested in moving into an Associate role then this is absolutely something my client can offer with a structured plan to advance to a Director role in the future.

Alternatively, if you'd prefer to focus on Engineering and technical deliver, you can Advance to Principal Engineer and refrain from taking on extra responsibility.

ON OFFER

£42,000 - £46,000 plus benefits

NEXT STEP

If you would like to apply, please do so, and I shall be in touch asap to discuss the role in more detail.
