Working Pattern: We operate a flexible hybrid working pattern at Frazer-Nash, with time split between the office and working from home.

The Asset Integrity - Built Environment Group is looking for Civil/Structural Consultants to join our respected and thriving specialist team. We're looking for motivated individuals at a range of experience levels who are driven to make a difference in highly regulated, safety‑critical industries.

We offer a unique opportunity to work across industries and sectors on some of the UK’s most complex infrastructure programmes. If you're technically capable, curious, and motivated by challenging projects, we would welcome your application.

The Built Environment group operates to assure the safety of structures and assets, including those subject to extreme hazards. Our integrated team establishes load conditions, structural responses, design solutions, testing programmes, substantiations and assurance against a variety of hazards (e.g. seismic, fire, blast, impact). Each of our projects is unique and we often need to return to first principles and develop bespoke solutions to satisfy our clients’ needs. While our projects are challenging, the team promotes a collaborative and supportive environment, where knowledge is shared openly. We are always looking to improve — both technically and professionally.

We operate within the wider Asset Integrity area, which has a breadth of capability ranging from physical testing to design, research and advanced analysis. The purpose of the area is to support clients in understanding the life, degradation, integrity and performance of materials, components, systems and assets from concept design to decommissioning. We often operate at the interface with other engineering disciplines (mainly mechanical and electrical).

Therefore, if working across engineering disciplines to solve complex problems appeals to you, you would be a great fit.

You’ll become part of a highly respected team, who work across a wide range of projects and markets, including:

• Nuclear energy (new build, operational fleet and decommissioning)
• Nuclear defence (infrastructure design, substantiation and assurance)
• Renewables (onshore solar, offshore wind)
• Process industries (chemical, hydrogen production)
• Transport (rail, marine)

Your role will vary depending on skills and experience, but would typically include leading the delivery of projects and providing technical oversight covering:

• Structural verification and code assessments (e.g., Eurocode, ASCE, AISC), through software and hand calculations
• Hazard assessment (e.g. seismic, blast, and fire performance modelling) and validation studies
• Concept design and feasibility analysis
• Civil/mechanical/electrical interface definition and integration
• Beyond‑code assessments and safety case development
• Groundworks and geotechnical assessment
• Decommissioning and enabling works support
• Structural inspections and regulatory compliance
• Lifecycle extension studies, including degradation mechanism analysis

We’re looking for engineers who want to go beyond technical analysis and who can deliver end‑to‑end consultancy:

• Lead and shape projects, including managing projects from scoping to delivery
• Engage directly with clients to define project needs and opportunities, and develop long‑term relationships
• Contribute to the direction and development of our team’s capability, including mentoring junior engineers
• Lead development of capability relative to your specialism and own the development of opportunities and workstreams.

At this time, we are welcoming applicants with a broad range of experience levels, as a minimum, you should have:

• Chartership or higher with a professional institution such as ICE or IStructE or a related discipline.
• Experience of working on technically challenging, safety‑critical infrastructure projects.
• Experience with client‑facing consultancy work, with a network aligned to your specialism.
• A collaborative growth mindset and willingness to work across disciplines and mentor junior team members.
• It would be beneficial to have demonstrable technical experience (relative to your time in industry) in some of the following:
• Code‑based assessment (e.g., Eurocode, ASCE, AISC standards)
• Use of structural tools (e.g., STAAD, ANSYS, ABAQUS, Robot)
• Seismic or dynamic structural analysis
• Impact/Blast/fire modelling and substantiation
• Hazard analysis and requirements capture
• Authoring or approval roles for safety case documentation
• Geotechnical design or site assessments
• Understanding of inspection regimes and CDM compliance
• Experience working with and delivering to NEC/RIBA contracts and drafting relevant documentation
• On‑site inspections and surveys
