Step up to associate at a structural firm that will actually back you

You have been doing associate level work for a while now: winning the trust of clients, steering junior engineers, carrying the technical risk on your projects. The title and the say that should come with it have not quite caught up. This role closes that gap.

This is an established structural engineering practice with a strong London presence, working across residential, commercial and mixed use schemes. They are bringing in an associate to help lead the technical side and shape how the team grows, which means genuine influence rather than a badge. The role exists because the practice is busy and wants a senior figure who can both deliver and build.

You would lead schemes from concept to completion, mentor the engineers coming through, own key client and architect relationships, and have a real voice in how the practice runs. For someone with the appetite there is a clear route towards director. The firm is large enough to offer serious projects and small enough that your fingerprints are visible on the business.

This fits a chartered structural engineer with the experience to lead, the judgement to carry technical responsibility, and the ambition to help run a practice rather than just work in one. Salary is between £75,000 and £88,000.
