🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting uniquely positions itself at the intersection of engineering and sustainability, specifically driving decarbonization and sustainable business models globally. Working here means contributing to tangible climate action through innovative advisory and design services, making it ideal for engineers passionate about creating zero-carbon healthcare infrastructure.

About This Role

This Structural Engineer role focuses on developing structural concepts and detailed designs specifically for UK healthcare projects like hospitals, ensuring technical excellence while integrating sustainable, zero-carbon principles. You'll work in multidisciplinary teams using FEM modelling and analysis to deliver innovative solutions that directly support Ramboll's mission of decarbonizing the built environment.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves developing structural concepts for hospital projects using FEM modelling software, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to integrate sustainable design principles, and managing project timelines while ensuring all designs meet strict healthcare sector requirements. You'll balance detailed design work with client meetings focused on delivering zero-carbon solutions.

🎯 Who Ramboll Management Consulting Is Looking For

  • Has proven hands-on experience with UK healthcare sector structural projects, particularly hospital buildings, not just general construction
  • Is a Chartered Engineer (or actively pursuing chartership) with a degree in structural/civil engineering, demonstrating advanced technical competency
  • Can manage multiple healthcare projects simultaneously, balancing varying complexities while maintaining client service excellence
  • Possesses practical experience implementing sustainable design principles and zero-carbon strategies in structural engineering projects

📝 Tips for Applying to Ramboll Management Consulting

1

Quantify your UK healthcare project experience - specify hospital names, project values, and your exact structural contributions

2

Highlight any FEM modelling software expertise (like STAAD.Pro, Robot, or similar) used on healthcare projects

3

Demonstrate how you've implemented sustainable/zero-carbon practices in previous structural designs

4

Showcase project management examples where you handled multiple healthcare projects with different complexities

5

Connect your experience directly to Ramboll's decarbonization mission - don't just list projects, explain their sustainability aspects

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your specific UK healthcare project experience and how it prepares you for Ramboll's hospital projects", 'Examples of implementing sustainable/zero-carbon design in structural engineering work', "How you've managed multiple complex projects while maintaining technical excellence", "Your understanding of Ramboll's decarbonization mission and how you'll contribute to it through healthcare infrastructure"]
