Senior Structural Engineer

You’re a Senior Structural Engineer ready to take on more responsibility—leading projects, developing people, and influencing how work is delivered. At Stantec, you’ll join our Structural Engineering team in Birmingham, working on complex, high-value building projects across the UK. You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with Civil, MEP, Environmental, Energy and Water teams, giving you the opportunity to contribute to projects in a more integrated and impactful way.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will lead the structural design of building projects from concept through to construction, taking responsibility for technical delivery, coordination, and quality. You’ll prepare and review calculations, specifications, and technical documentation, ensuring outputs meet relevant standards and project requirements.

You’ll provide guidance to engineers and technicians, supporting delivery while maintaining consistent quality across the team. Alongside technical leadership, you’ll contribute to project management—supporting resource planning, programme, and delivery performance.

You’ll also engage with clients and stakeholders, supporting meetings, proposals, and relationship development. As your role develops, you’ll play a greater part in business development and helping to secure future work.

YOUR IMPACT

You’ll contribute to projects that shape the built environment across sectors including education, residential, healthcare, commercial, logistics, and defence. Your work will influence how buildings are designed and delivered, ensuring solutions are practical, efficient, and aligned with long-term performance requirements.
