  • Chartered Professional Engineer (

  • Demonstrated ability to manage projects, lead technical teams, and deliver high-quality engineering outcomes.
  • Strong commercial awareness, risk management capability, and sound engineering judgement.
  • A passion for mentoring and fostering a collaborative, high-performance team culture.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
  • Bonus:
    Experience in business development or an existing network that can help grow our client base.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and analyse a wide range of building structures.
  • Prepare and review drawings, documentation, models, and engineering reports.
  • Work closely with our team to develop buildable, practical engineering solutions.
  • Coordinate with architects, clients, and consultants throughout the design lifecycle.
  • Attend site inspections and project meetings when required.
  • Provide technical leadership, support, and guidance across the team.

  • A genuine leadership opportunity
    in a company that values innovation, initiative, and professional growth.
  • A diverse project portfolio
    —from luxury homes to large-scale commercial developments.
