JOB DESCRIPTION

Structural engineers design structures to withstand stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use.

They ensure buildings and other structures do not deflect, rotate, vibrate excessively or collapse and that they remain stable and secure throughout their use; they examine existing buildings and structures to test if they are structurally sound and still fit for purpose.
