Technical report writing, including the ability to produce high-quality letters and reports that convey complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to clients, contractors, and other stakeholders.
Site inspection and surveys, including a demonstrated ability to identify issues, assess the condition of structures, and recommend appropriate remedial actions.

Additional Experience (Preferred but not Essential):

Experience with modern software tools for structural analysis and design.
Familiarity with sustainability considerations in building design, such as energy efficiency and the use of eco-friendly materials.
Knowledge of seismic or wind-load analysis, especially if working on structures in areas prone to extreme weather or environmental conditions.

Other Responsibilities and Skills

Lead project teams: Manage and mentor a small group of engineers and technicians, overseeing the delivery of projects from inception to completion.
Client-facing responsibilities: Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, ensuring projects meet their requirements and are delivered on time and within budget.
Fee proposals and invoicing: Prepare and manage fee proposals, ensuring profitability and value for money. Candidates should also have a good understanding of invoicing processes and financial management.
Business development: Be proactive in identifying new opportunities for work, including building a professional network, and eventually securing your own projects.

Career Progression

This role offers significant opportunities for career growth. The successful candidate will have the potential to:

Take on more senior roles within the organisation as they gain experience and demonstrate leadership and technical acumen.
Participate in the bonus scheme, which rewards successful project delivery and business development efforts.
Potential to become a partner, based on performance, leadership, and ability to generate new business.
