ARD Consulting Engineers Ltd are looking for a Structural Engineer to join their team!

The candidate is required to have experience in steel design and portal frames.

About the company:

ARD Consulting Engineers is a UK civil & structural engineering consultancy specialising in structural steel design and inspection for commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. They’re growing — and want another solid engineer in the team.

Job Description: 

• Steel portal frame and steel frame design (this is the core of the role so experience is a MUST)
• Design work that’s practical, buildable, and contractor-friendly
• Coordination with the team so projects move quickly and cleanly
• Site inspections and surveys for refurb/reuse, extensions and modifications (factories, industrial units, agricultural buildings)
• Structural assessments for changes to existing buildings (loads, alterations, upgrades)

The right candidate will have:

1. Steel design and portal frames experience (non negotiable)
2. AutoCAD drawing experience (minimum)
3. Real experience as a Structural Engineer (Chartership NOT required)
4. You want to focus on structural steel design + inspection
5. You can produce clear, buildable outputs
6. Designing steel by hand, spreadsheet and software 

Bonus skills:

• Revit experience (not essential)
• MasterSeries experience (advantageous, but not critical)

This role is NOT for you if:

1. You want to do lots of concrete design (we don’t do a lot - mostly floor slabs, foundations and pile cap design)
2. You only want a couple of big prestige projects with endless meetings and slow decisions
3. You’d rather stay behind a screen and never step on site and interact with contractors, architects and the end client.

What ARD Consulting Engineers Ltd can offer you:

• £35,000–£45,000 salary DOE
• 60%+ of your role will be office-based steel design
• Hybrid working set up
• Minimum 23 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Paid sick leave (after probation, increases with length of service)
• Health insurance for you (& your family) as part of a salary sacrifice.
• A team that values quality, honesty, and doing things properly 

So, if this sounds like you- please apply today! We’d love to hear from you.
