An opportunity for a structural engineer to enjoy the considerable rewards of a career in the forensic investigations sector. You will learn to apply all of your existing engineering expertise and talent in a role providing exceptional variety and technical intrigue. This industry sits outside the mainstream tender (and framework) driven consulting sector, fee margins are lucrative and demand remains strong throughout economic cycles. The position will ideally suit an engineer who thrives on technically stimulating work and is keen to make career progress. The Company A leading international forensic investigations consultancy, highly regarded for their built environment expertise. Their civil and structural engineers investigate and determine the root cause of civil engineering and structural failures within the buildings, highways, rail, development infrastructure, industrial and energy sectors.

They are an admired employer providing generous terms and conditions of employment, plus excellent career development opportunities. Your Role You will be investigating the cause and origin of civil and structural defects through to catastrophic failures, and your findings will be used to resolve legal disputes, claims and to improve standards in the UK and internationally. During initial site investigations you will typically oversee field testing, gather photographic evidence and interview witnesses. This information will enable you to unravel the cause of the failure. You will then prepare a report that provides a clear explanation of your findings. This needs to be expressed in a way that can be understood by those from a non-technical background, whilst being robust enough to pass scrutiny should litigation arise. Your assignments will be aligned to your technical expertise with the support of civil, structural, geotechnical and materials colleagues. Your Profile A degree qualified engineer with upwards of five years consulting engineering experience.
