Looking at Structural Engineering jobs? We can help guide you through the role, what you can expect and what you’ll need to get your dream role.
Structural Engineers work on nearly every stage of the building process, from conception to construction. They work on builds of all sizes from relatively small structures to sports stadia and skyscrapers. In their role they often work alongside other professionals such as Architects and site managers. They design, create, analyse and problem solve in order to make sure the building can be built, will be structurally stable and durable.
Analysis allows the engineer to understand the load and stress caused by gravity, the building users and external influences. This will allow them to judge if the building can be built and select suitable materials for the structure.
Personal Requirements
Structural Engineers are required to be good communicators, creative, but most of all they must be great problem solvers. Problem solving is a major part of this role as these can often arise before and during a build. These must be solved in order to proceed with the build. They must have good practical skills, be able to sketch and draw, as well as use computer programs to model structures.
