The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Structural Engineer to join a fast-growing, design-led civil and structural engineering consultancy based in Exeter.
This is far from a volume-driven consultancy. The business focuses on carefully selected, high-quality residential and commercial schemes, delivering bespoke engineering solutions with genuine autonomy and technical involvement. You’ll have input from early feasibility and planning stages through to final delivery — helping shape projects rather than simply processing them.
If you’re looking for variety, responsibility, and the chance to work closely with architects and clients, this role offers a refreshing alternative to a corporate environment.

The Role

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll play a key role in project delivery while supporting the continued growth of the consultancy.
Key responsibilities include:

  • Working closely with architects, consultants, and clients to develop coordinated design solutions
  • Producing high-quality structural designs, drawings, and technical reports
  • Carrying out structural surveys, feasibility studies, and planning-stage input
  • Managing client relationships and maintaining clear communication throughout projects
  • Ensuring high technical standards across all deliverables
  • Designing on a range of residential and commercial schemes from concept to completion
  • Taking ownership of projects and making confident technical decisions

About You

We’re looking for a capable and motivated Structural Engineer who can demonstrate:

  • A degree in Structural or Civil Engineering
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Strong AutoCAD and Tekla proficiency
  • Experience with Revit, Site3D, or Flow (advantageous, not essential)
  • Strong communication, IT, and report-writing skills
  • The ability to manage workload independently and deliver to deadlines

What’s In It For You? This consultancy offers an excellent package including:

  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Performance-related annual bonus
  • Private healthcare
  • Clear and realistic career progression
  • Accredited training and development programmes
  • Friendly, collaborative team culture
  • Your birthday off ��

Why This Consultancy?

This is a business in a strong position — able to carefully select the projects it takes on and deliver work it genuinely takes pride in. You’ll join a team that values trust, technical excellence, and a balanced approach to working life.
