Job Purpose
To lead and deliver the detailed design of specialist structural bracketry systems from concept through to fabrication-ready documentation. The candidate will be the technical authority for all bracketry-related structural analysis and design, ensuring compliance with the relevant Eurocodes, fire engineering requirements, and interface coordination with MEP, architectural, and civil disciplines. The role demands a rigorous, first-principles approach to structural analysis combined with strong commercial and programme awareness.
This will be for Anthro Joint Venture (VVB Engineering and Egis).
Working in the Anthro design office, London, 3 days week, and attending site meetings at Old Oak Common where required.
You will be responsible for leading production, checking and coordination of bracketry, secondary, tertiary steelwork works across the project. This will include interface with MEPHFC engineering, architectural and BIM/digital staff members.
As a senior engineer you will work under the direction of the Engineering Lead, coordinating with our MEPHFC designers, client BBVS, and third-party work packages.
You will use your knowledge and skills to deliver the right quality to time and budget.
This will include:
- Management, coordination and agreement of bracketry and support structures for building services with our CREs/Lead Engineers, and third parties
- Apply EN 1990 (Basis of Structural Design) for load combinations and reliability classifications appropriate to the bracket system and its consequence class.
- Design steel brackets and connections to EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-8 (joints), and EN 1993-1-3 (cold-formed sections) as applicable, with full ULS and SLS checks documented.
- Assess the fire resistance requirements of structural bracketry in accordance with EN 1993-1-2 (Structural Fire Design), applicable national annex, and client requirements/standards
- Determine critical steel temperatures and evaluate passive fire protection strategies (intumescent coatings, boarding, spray-applied systems) in coordination with the client.
- Structural review of design and third-party proprietary systems, including; reinforced concrete, precast concrete, steelwork, blockwork to ensure bracketry solutions are viable
- Lead workshops internally and with the Client and Principal Designer to agree or escalate issues, evidence coordination and record actions via RFI
- Provide weekly reporting for Anthro/client BBVS
- Manage resources, or third party organisations, to ensure works completed on time and to budget
- Escalate matters of concern via the NEC 3 Early Warning Notice
General Duties

Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
- Produce and prepare design in accordance with HS2, Eurocodes, and NR-L2-CIV-003 (Engineering and Architectural Assurance of Building and Civil Engineering Works)
- Produce and civil / structural engineering design drawings, calculations, reports, and supporting documentation to HS2 / Network Rail standards / Building regulations
- Produce and coordinate engineering activities so that they result in civil / structural schemes that are affordable and meet programme requirements in a safe and environmentally responsible manner for time, cost and quality.
- Coordinate with a multi-disciplinary team to ensure that civil / structural design deliverables meet HS2 / Network Rail standards / building regulations
- Knowledge of Health and Safety legislation, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and NR/L2/OHS/0047
