About Us

Elliott Wood works with likeminded people to engineer a better society.

We engineer for the common good – from making dramatic improvements to the life of a town or a city, through to nurturing a new generation of exceptional technical and creative thinkers.

Engineering is often about the unseen, but we aim to reveal the hidden opportunities in every structure, making it work harder and uncovering new assets for our clients. With more than twenty years in practice, we continue to be curious. We are no ordinary engineers. We are activists for a new kind of engineering profession, in which technical and creative thinking are combined, and in which our craft is re-evaluated by clients and collaborators.

Like us, our clients and collaborators are more environmentally and socially conscious than ever before. Over the past 25+ years, we’ve engineered globally-recognised landmarks across the UK and often partnered with industry icons. Anyone who joins us will get to work with an incredible, like-minded, hugely collaborative team on high-profile landmarks and projects. This innovation is also reflected in how we build and nurture our talented employee community, our inclusive and diverse culture is what makes us special.

We’re looking for an innovative, proactive Structural Engineer who wants to make a difference. You may have 1-3 years years of UK post-graduate experience working in multi-disciplinary teams, and ideally you’ll be working towards Chartership. We’d love you to have worked with timber and composites.
