Occupation

Structural engineers

Structural engineers design structures to withstand stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use. Structural engineers help to design most structures, including houses, hospitals, office blocks, bridges, oil rigs, ships and aircraft and are responsible for choosing the appropriate materials. 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.
