senior structural engineer role built around specialist basement work

You are a senior structural engineer, and the basement and retrofit work you actually want to be doing keeps landing on someone else's desk instead of yours.This is a structural engineering and below ground drainage consultancy based in a design studio in Borough, London, delivering practical, buildable structural designs for residential, commercial and educational clients. The practice has a genuine specialism in retrofit and basement work, including large scale double depth basements in areas like Notting Hill, alongside detailed planning reports, structural calculations and site surveys for a broad base of consultants and clients across London.The frustration for a lot of senior engineers is being the person who reviews basement and retrofit schemes rather than the person who designs them, because that specialist work tends to sit with a small group at the top of a larger firm. Here, the practice is built around exactly that kind of technically demanding work, so a senior engineer joining now gets hands on ownership of it rather than sign off duty on someone else's design.Site surveys and propping work sit alongside the design itself too, so the role covers the full technical picture on a scheme rather than the design phase in isolation.If specialist basement and retrofit work with real ownership sounds better than another generic senior seat, get in touch.Salary is between 56,000 and 74,000, depending on experience.
