Engineering That Stands Up to Anything

At BakerHicks, we design the structures that hold some of the UK’s most critical, complex and high-profile projects together. From aviation to power, defence to major infrastructure, our multidisciplinary teams deliver engineering that is safe, efficient and genuinely buildable.

We’re looking for a Structural Engineer who’s detail-driven, technically sharp, and ready to make an impact across a diverse project portfolio. 

This role is ideal for someone who is 1–2 years away from achieving chartership and looking to join a company that offers the support, exposure, and project experience needed to get them over the line and progress into a Senior-level position

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality structural engineering designs as part of an integrated project team. This includes:

Producing detailed structural calculations and analysis to current British Standards and Eurocodes

Developing designs for a wide range of buildings and structural elements

Creating and checking sketches, drawings and technical deliverables to company and client quality standards

Collaborating closely with architects, engineers and technicians across multiple disciplines

Supporting and mentoring CAD technicians, trainees and graduates

Managing and contributing to packages of work, with increasing responsibility as experience grows

Participating in technical meetings and representing BakerHicks when required

Promoting quality, accuracy and Perfect Delivery across every project

What You Bring

You enjoy mentoring others, contributing to team knowledge, and maintaining high professional standards, including keeping up to date with ICE/IStructE development requirements and almost close to getting chartered and want the support that will get you there.
