Structural Engineer - Worthing, West Sussex - ASAP

• Assistance to become Chartered if not already.
• Regular CPDs, toolbox talks and training provided by the Managing Director/Director/Senior Engineer.
• Dinner/drinks paid for on work nights out.
• The office overlooks Homefield Park, so it's peaceful and a lovely place to stretch your legs on your lunch break.
• We have an office dog (a one-year-old golden retriever) that comes in most afternoons.

Essential requirements:

• Current design and drawing experience.
• Strong IT capabilities including current working knowledge of Microsoft Office and autoCAD.
• Full driving licence.
• Excellent command of the English language.
• Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.
• Ability to climb ladders, enter loft spaces, and other physical activities essential to the job including the ability to cope with heights.
• Legible hand calculations.

Responsibilities:

• Conducting site visits, drafting reports and proposing remedial works.
• Producing structural calculations, details and drawings to current British Standards and Building Regulations.
• Advising on Building Regulations applications and tender documentation.
• Carrying out design solutions in steel, concrete, timber and masonry.
• Providing on-site supervision.
