We are working with a specialist engineering company that specializes in moving and lifting large and heavy items.

They are looking for a Temporary Works Design Engineer to take ownership of designing and checking temporary structures that support construction projects. These could be things like scaffolding, formwork, or support beams.

This is a hybrid role, with a greater emphasis on on-site work during your probation period. However, upon successfully completing probation, you will have increased flexibility to work from home.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Review and check temporary structure designs, including calculations, drawings, and design certificates.
  • Conduct structural analysis of existing equipment to ensure compliance with safety and design standards.
  • Design modifications to existing equipment and develop new designs as required.
  • Produce detailed drawings suitable for manufacturing.
  • Assist with estimating by obtaining or providing pricing information.

Personal Attributes:

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage with colleagues at all levels.
  • A proactive team player who also thrives working independently.
  • Professional, approachable, and adaptable.
  • Reliable with a flexible approach to work.

Qualifications & Skills:

  • BEng/MEng in Civil or Structural Engineering.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience, ideally with a mix of site and design office exposure, particularly in Temporary Works Design.
  • Incorporated/Chartered or working towards professional qualification.
  • Proficient in structural analysis and CAD software (e.g. Tekla TEDDS, STAAD Pro, AutoCAD).
  • Working knowledge of BS 5975 and experience with steelwork and timber codes.
  • Strong IT skills (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • Full UK driving licence.
