At BakerHicks, we're delivering some of the UK's most technically challenging and rewarding engineering projects across sectors including Power, Nuclear, Defence, Industrial, Aviation and Public Infrastructure. As demand continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Contract Structural Engineer to support the delivery of complex building projects from our Motherwell office.
This is an ideal opportunity for a hands-on engineer who can quickly integrate into project teams, take ownership of structural design packages, and deliver high-quality engineering solutions with minimal supervision.
What You'll Do
Key responsibilities include:
- Producing and reviewing structural calculations, specifications and technical reports.
- Delivering structural design solutions for steel, concrete and masonry structures.
- Coordinating with multidisciplinary design teams to ensure successful project outcomes.
- Supporting project delivery from concept through detailed design.
- Managing your own workload and taking responsibility for delivering agreed outputs.
- Contributing technical expertise across multiple concurrent projects.
- Supporting design reviews and ensuring compliance with relevant codes and standards.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking an experienced Structural Engineer who can independently deliver structural design packages and has strong experience within complex building projects.
You'll ideally have:
- Degree qualification in Civil or Structural Engineering (Structural bias).
- Proven UK project experience within building structures.
- Strong structural analysis and design capability.
- Experience working on commercial, industrial, defence, power, public sector or other complex infrastructure projects.
- Ability to work independently and deliver technical solutions
- Good knowledge of current UK design codes and standards.
- Experience using structural design software such as Tekla Structural Designer, MasterSeries, Robot or similar.
Candidates with primarily residential housing design experience are unlikely to be a suitable fit due to the complexity and nature of the projects undertaken by the team.
Why BakerHicks?
- Work on nationally significant engineering projects.
- Flexible hybrid working model.
- Collaborative and highly experienced Civil & Structural team.
- Diverse project portfolio across multiple sectors.
- Opportunity to contribute immediately and make a genuine impact.
- Potential for contract extension based on workload and project requirements.
Many of the positions within our company are subject to security clearance or security assurance levels.
The successful candidate must be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate level of security clearance or assurance level for this role, in line with client and sector requirements.
In some cases, additional nationality or residency criteria may also apply due to specific client or national security obligations.
