London
Are you a technician with a passion for bridge engineering, making precision drawings, and willingness to collaborate with others and a desire to learn? Buro Happold is looking for a talented and motivated Technician, at the early stage of their career, to join our Bridges team in London. You will be responsible for modelling, drafting, and producing technical drawings of a variety of bridge projects, working closely with our Infrastructure team.

Your skills and experience:

  • Understanding of general arrangement and outline drawings for bridge structures.

  • Attractive salary and benefits package including life assurance, and income protection.
  • Holiday entitlement of 25 days per annum (exclusive of bank holidays) and flexible holiday arrangements.
  • Generous company pension scheme.
  • Flexible benefits including cycle scheme, dental insurance, optical cover, travel insurance, season ticket loans, and corporate discounts.
  • Enhanced parenthood leave policies.
  • 3pm finish on the last Friday of the month.
  • A strong commitment to your continuous development. Whatever stage in your career, we have a learning and development programme that will enable and empower you.
  • Entitlement to two memberships to professional bodies or subscriptions
  • Support with your progression towards industry accreditation such as EngTech with the Institution of Civil Engineers.
  • A commitment to your wellbeing through a comprehensive employee assistance programme and wellbeing activities. A supportive and inclusive environment that will welcome you through social and outreach activities from the Young Employees Forum to mentoring.

A place for everyone:

Buro Happold values an individual's flexible approaches to working patterns as an important part of how you work and achieve balance. We welcome applications from those who are seeking flexibility in their careers.

Our exceptional portfolio of projects is the result of the diversity of thought, identities, backgrounds, and experiences that shape us. Appreciating each other’s differences is key, we want employees to feel they don’t have to mask elements of their identity to thrive.

We are working to change the lack of representation of marginalised groups in the built environment. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who feels they are underrepresented in the industry. We have much to learn from one another. Embracing differences allows us to develop the most innovative and elegant solutions.
