The Role

We’re looking for a forward-thinking Structures Engineer ready to make their mark on some of the most exciting aerospace and advanced engineering projects in the UK. This is your opportunity to work at the cutting edge of structural analysis, design, and certification supporting innovative programmes across the air, land, and sea domains.

Whether you're analysing lightweight metallics, working with composite assemblies, or supporting design for additive manufacture, this role is about impact, variety, and technical excellence.

The Company

Delivering advanced mechanical and structural design services to major players across aerospace, defence, and energy sectors. With a reputation for technical agility and problem-solving capability, the team works with both prime contractors and disruptive innovators alike — offering a unique mix of traditional engineering discipline and future-focused thinking.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform static stress analysis (FEM and hand calculations) on metallic and composite structures
  
  
• Work across the full product lifecycle — from concept design through to certification support
  
  
• Generate detailed technical documentation, including stress reports and substantiation
  
  
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and project teams to deliver robust, production-ready solutions
  
  
• Support testing and validation, including interpretation of results and recommendations
  
  
• Apply industry standards (e.g. EASA/FAA, Def Stan) and customer-specific requirements
  
  
• Work on R&D and innovation projects around sustainable structures and digital engineering
  
  Experience / Qualifications Required:
  
  
• Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Structural Engineering (or equivalent)
  
  
• Strong working knowledge of FEA tools
  
  
• Experience with composite and metallic structural design in a regulated industry
  
  
• Familiarity with aerospace certification processes (EASA/FAA/Def Stan)
  
  
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts with clarity
  
  
• Bonus: Experience in additive manufacturing, lightweighting techniques, or Python scripting
  
  Why Should You Want to Apply?
  
  
• Innovative Projects: Work on everything from next-gen air vehicles to high-performance defence platforms
  
  
• Technical Variety: No two days are the same — see real-world impact of your work across multiple domains
  
  
• Tight-Knit Team: Join a collaborative, engineering-led culture where your ideas and input matter
  
  
• Growth Potential: Be part of a growing company with clear pathways for development and recognition
  
  
• Flexible Working: Hybrid options and a results-driven approach to work-life balance
