Structural Engineer - Worthing, West Sussex - ASAP

Description:

We are seeking a Structural Engineer with 4+ years’ experience to join our small but busy office in Worthing, West Sussex.

Our Structural Engineers get involved in every stage of a project, from providing quotes and booking in visits to issuing invoices and answering queries once a design or report has been issued, so we’re looking for someone proactive and happy to take charge of their own projects/workload.

• Assistance to become Chartered if not already. 
• Regular CPDs, toolbox talks and training provided by the Managing Director/Director/Senior Engineer. 
• Dinner/drinks paid for on work nights out. 
• The office overlooks Homefield Park, so it’s peaceful and a lovely place to stretch your legs on your lunch break. 
• We have an office dog (a one-year-old golden retriever) that comes in most afternoons.

• Current design and drawing experience. 
• Strong IT capabilities including current working knowledge of Microsoft Office and autoCAD. 
• Full driving licence. 
• Excellent command of the English language. 
• Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.

Responsibilities: 

• Conducting site visits, drafting reports and proposing remedial works.

• Advising on Building Regulations applications and tender documentation. 
• Carrying out design solutions in steel, concrete, timber and masonry.
