Overview of the Role

DFC is currently recruiting for our 2027 Graduate Structural Fire Engineer position.

Structural Fire Engineering is a growing specialist discipline that bridges the gap between structural engineering and fire engineering. It enables engineers to design resilient structures, optimise fire protection strategies, support sustainability objectives, and deliver innovative solutions beyond prescriptive code requirements.

We are seeking ambitious and motivated graduates to join our Structural Fire Engineering Team. This is a unique opportunity to develop specialist expertise at the intersection of structural engineering and fire engineering, working on some of the most challenging and innovative projects in the built environment.

As a Graduate Structural Fire Engineer, you will support the delivery of performance-based structural fire engineering solutions that enhance safety, sustainability, and design efficiency. Working alongside experienced engineers and mentors, you will contribute to projects including high-rise developments, complex existing buildings and innovative construction systems.

You will gain experience in:

  • Structural performance in fire.
  • Fire and thermal analysis.
  • Performance-based design.
  • Steel, concrete, timber and composite structures.
  • Optimisation of passive fire protection.
  • Fire resistance assessments of existing structures.
  • Sustainability-led design solutions.
  • Advanced modelling and engineering analysis.

Suitability

To thrive in this role, you should have the following qualifications, attributes, and skills:

  • Master's or bachelor's degree in Structural Fire Engineering, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Be passionate about structural behaviour and building safety.
  • Be curious, analytical, and eager to learn.
  • Have strong communication skills and enjoy collaborative problem-solving.
  • Be committed to developing specialist technical expertise.
  • The ability to adapt, multitask, and take pride in one’s work.
  • The ability to converse technically in English with precision and clarity.

Knowledge of structural analysis, fire engineering principles, programming, or numerical modelling would be advantageous, but is not essential.

This opportunity and the associated application process are relevant to you if you have graduated since June 2025 or you will graduate within the next 10 months. If this criterion does not apply to you but you are interested in a career at DFC, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

What We Offer

We are pleased to offer a competitive package, consisting of:

  • Competitive salary.
  • Company-wide bi-annual bonus linked to commercial performance.
  • 38 days paid annual leave, inclusive of public holidays.
  • Option to sell back unused annual leave.
  • Flexible working.
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offering confidential support and guidance to promote personal and professional wellbeing.
  • Generous pension contributions.
  • Cycle to Work scheme.
  • Individual IT package including company laptop and mobile phone.
  • Annual cost of membership to two relevant professional institutions is reimbursed.
  • Structured graduate development programme.
  • Dedicated mentoring from experienced Structural Fire Engineers.
  • Opportunities to contribute to industry-leading structural fire engineering research and innovation.

DFC can support applicants in obtaining a Skilled Worker visa. Any offer we make will be conditional upon your visa application being approved.
