About the Opportunity: Due to ongoing company growth, my client is looking to expand their in-house temporary works design team and is therefore recruiting permanently for a Senior Design Engineer or Design Manager (depending on the amount of experience gained) to provide design engineering services within the Temporary Works team. Reporting directly to the Technical Director, you will be competent in the production of temporary works within the sectors mentioned above and will represent the company at meetings with clients, other professionals and suppliers. About the Requirements: To be considered for this opportunity, you should hold suitable engineering qualifications. Additionally, you will have vast working knowledge of the current ‘Euro’ code design standards, hold a minimum of 5 years post-graduate experience in the design of temporary works within the RC frame and groundwork sectors and have good knowledge of the use of AutoCAD / 3D Modelling. About the Rewards: For this permanent opportunity, my client is targeting professionals looking to earn anywhere from £80,000 to £110,000 per annum; however, there may be flexibility on this as the specific salary will depend on experience and suitability. I know the bracket is quite wide, but these figures have been provided by our client as they don’t want to rule out anyone around this level. Furthermore, there will be a generous package on offer in addition to the usual benefits associated with a large, successful company. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. It would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.
