Are you a highly experienced structural engineer ready to reclaim your work‑life balance — without stepping away from the technical work you love?
Our client is a long‑established, privately owned, multi‑disciplinary consultancy with a solid and diverse structural pipeline — not limited to buildings alone. With a robust client base and no need for business development, they’re seeking an experienced Technical Structural Design Lead to guide and mentor their capable engineering team in a part‑time, low‑stress role.
Why This Role Exists
The team is strong, talented, and motivated — but has a gap at the Principal/Technical Director level. They’re looking for someone who brings that depth of experience, steady judgement, and technical assurance that only time in the industry provides.
This is not a role to “grow the business”. It’s a role to grow the engineers.
The Opportunity
As the Technical Structural Design Lead, you’ll step into a role centred around technical excellence, oversight and mentoring — without the heavy hours, admin load, or BD expectations that typically come with senior leadership roles.
You’ll be the go‑to senior technical voice in the office, ensuring quality and helping shape the next generation of engineers.
You will:
- Provide hands‑on technical guidance and mentorship to mid‑level and senior engineers
- Review designs, provide oversight, and uphold quality across a wide range of structural projects
- Offer strategic technical input and help solve complex engineering challenges
- Take responsibility for selected long‑term projects where your experience adds value
- Support delivery without the pressure of chasing work or managing large teams
- Play a key role in developing confident, technically sound future leaders
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering
- 15+ years of structural engineering design experience
- Broad structural background — ideally including commercial, residential, and other structural asset types
- Experience at Principal, Associate Director, or Technical Director level
- Demonstrated capability in technical leadership, mentoring and design management
- A collaborative communicator who enjoys guiding others
Ideal for someone who
- Wants to reduce workload and stress without stepping away from meaningful engineering
- Prefers a stable, supportive environment over corporate pressure
- Values technical quality and professional integrity
What’s On Offer
Work Environment
- True work‑life balance with flexible part‑time option
- A stable, well‑respected consultancy with a secure and varied client base
- A friendly, collaborative culture with minimal hierarchy and no office politics
- A technically capable team that will value your guidance
Employment Options
- Permanent part‑time or long‑term hourly rate contract — tailored to your ideal schedule
- Flexibility to shape the role around your lifestyle
Ready to Step Into a Role That Respects Your Experience — and Your Time?
If you’re ready to leave behind long hours, corporate pressure and business‑development targets — and return to the heart of why you became an engineer — we’d love to speak with you.
