Stop carrying associate-level risk for a senior engineer's title

You are already doing the job: carrying technical risk, steering younger engineers, keeping clients happy when projects wobble. What you are missing is the title, the say and the salary that should come with it. This role corrects all three.

This is a respected structural engineering practice in central London working across residential, commercial and refurbishment projects, the kind of varied workload that keeps senior people interested. They want an associate to help lead the technical function and influence how the practice develops, not a figurehead. The seat is open because the firm is growing and needs genuine senior capacity.

You would run projects from concept to completion, own important client and architect relationships, mentor the engineers behind you, and have a real hand in decisions about the business. The practice is small enough that an associate genuinely shapes its direction, and there is a credible path towards director for the right person.

This suits a chartered structural engineer with the experience and judgement to lead, who wants ownership and a stake in how a practice grows rather than another rung on a large corporate ladder. Salary is between 75,000 and 88,000.

Every application is read personally and handled in complete confidence, and because we work directly with this client we can tell you what the team, the projects and the culture are genuinely like before you decide anything.
