Protect the structural integrity of our most treasured buildings — where traditional craft meets modern engineering to preserve architectural heritage for generations to come.

At Architecture Social, we work with conservation-focused engineering practices, heritage consultancies and specialist restoration teams who need structural engineers with a deep understanding of historic construction. Our clients work on churches, civic buildings, listed estates and sensitive conversion projects, and they consistently seek engineers who can develop structural solutions that respect original fabric while meeting contemporary safety standards. We maintain targeted shortlists in this niche discipline so that when a suitable role arises, your profile is already in contention.

What our clients typically ask for:
— Chartered structural engineer status with demonstrable experience in conservation or heritage projects
— Knowledge of traditional construction techniques including masonry, lime mortar, timber framing and wrought iron
— Ability to carry out structural surveys and condition assessments of historic buildings
— Experience designing structural repairs using both traditional and contemporary materials
— Familiarity with listed building consent processes and Historic England guidance
— Skills in producing conservation method statements and heritage-sensitive repair specifications
— Proficiency in AutoCAD and structural analysis software

If your engineering expertise is matched by a genuine passion for the historic environment and you find fulfilment in buildings with stories to tell, we want to hear from you.
