Structural Design Engineer

Design Engineer

If you've built or fitted steelwork on site and fancy trading the tools for a screen, we'll train you to draw what you already know how to build.

About IEIS

IEIS (Industrial Engineering and Installation Services) is a specialist engineering business based at Stone Business Park, Staffordshire, working across water treatment, energy, industrial, and manufacturing sites. The business is growing, and the design team sits at the centre of that growth. It's a small team, so your work gets noticed.

The Role

Day to day, you'll cover 3D modelling, fabrication drawings, structural calculations, and occasional UK site visits for point cloud surveys, reporting directly to the Design Manager.

You'll

• Develop 3D structural models in Autodesk Advance Steel from client data or in-house designs
• Produce 2D fabrication and general arrangement drawings from 3D models
• Work with structural calculations from a third party to enable design completion
• Conduct 3D point cloud surveys using in-house scanning kit on occasional site visits
• Support fabrication and installation teams with technical design input
• Interpret engineering specifications to deliver compliant, cost-effective designs
• Diagnose and resolve technical design issues
• Develop detailed component and assembly drawings from datasheets and reference projects

What You'll Bring

Essential

• HNC or higher in Mechanical Engineering, or a Level 3 qualification with solid post-qualification experience
• A proven hands-on background in steelwork design
• Proven ability to design steel structures: platforms, staircases, and support frames
• Full UK driving licence
• Right to work in the UK without visa sponsorship

Useful, not essential

• Experience with Autodesk Advance Steel (training provided)
• A background in site installation or fabrication – real-world structural knowledge is a genuine advantage

What's On Offer

Financial: banded by tier, £38,000 up to £45,000 DOE, plus a 3,000 annual bonus

Development: on-the-job training and software support, working across high-value industrial projects UK-wide
