Our client has one of the most comprehensive range of cold rolled products and systems for partitions, ceilings, wall linings and light gauge structural steel framing (SFS). They are looking to recruit an experienced Structural Engineer who will be reporting directly to the Head of Engineering, and naturally the duties will include,

• Analyse configurations of the basic components of light gauge steel structures
• Calculate the pressures, stresses and strains that each component, such as a beams and frames
• Using expertise to advise on structural designs and variations
• Liaise with other designers, including architects and main contractors
• Make drawings, specifications and computer models using AutoCAD and Tekla
• Liaise with construction contractors to ensure that newly erected buildings are structurally sound
• Apply expert knowledge of the forces that act on various structures
• Lead and mentor junior staff

The ideal candidate will come from a similar background/role. Ideally my client requires a self starter, with someone who has a minimum of 5 years post graduate experience. Having a strong academic background, with a BSc/MSc in Structural or Civil Engineering is a paramount for this role, as well as being chartered or making in roads to becoming chartered in ICE or IStructE.

As my client operates more as a global modular build specialist, it would be highly advantageous in having previous experience in Light Gauge Steel Framing and SFS. The position will hold seniority within the team, so having mentoring and team building skills is an important part of the function
