Senior Structural Engineer

We’re working with a highly regarded structural engineering consultancy with an established reputation for delivering technically challenging and commercially significant projects across the UK and Europe. They are looking to appoint a Senior Structural Engineer to join their Southwark office, offering the opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on some of the most substantial projects being delivered in the UK.
