"The team provide a superb service at times that suit both the client and myself as an employee, including early mornings! Nothing is ever too much trouble. When I raise unusual questions, pay queries and where an intelligent solution is required. I very much appreciate the sincere support that I receive from Black Point Recruitment."
Mark Martin
Candidate
"I haven't had much success with agencies in the past. Mainly false promises & sheer nonsense has been the only thing my timesheets have seen. I sent my CV off to them & they responded the same afternoon by phone & had an interview date set up for me by the end of the same day. I strongly recommend them!
Lee Conibear
Candidate

Black point always pay me on time without fail and check in every week just to see how I'm doing and everything's okay with the job. If you need work Black Point Recruitment is the place to go."
Steve Watton
Business Manager
"We started using Blackpoint Recruitment during the pandemic and found them to be very helpful and professional. At a time when other companies were not even responding to our calls due to demand, Blackpoint kept us in the loop of the current recruitment market and was able to supply good quality staff. My main reasons to continually work with Blackpoint was not just to find staff to put in positions but to work with us and understand our business so the staff put forward were right for the job. Blackpoint is currently our main supplier for staff on a temp to perm for the above reason. We have a fantastic working relationship between us and very happy to continually work with them. Would recommend it to any business looking for staff on either a temp or temp to perm basis."
Maisie Pateman
Senior Support Manager
"It is with much enthusiasm that i write to recommend the services of Black Point Recruitment. I have had a close working relationship with the company for four years with regards to recruiting several positions within Wren Kitchens. The team have been able to successful recruit temp to perm positions such as HGV Cat C, Cat C1 and Drivers Mates over these 4 years and continue to do so. They have sent us great office-based candidates for two of our Southern based depots which remain with us now. Black Point Recruitment have been able to supply us with last minute van drivers within hours of request, with all teams fulfilling the role to a high standard and representing our company well. I highly recommend the services of Black Point Recruitment."
Jason Jones
Contract Manager
"We have used Blackpoint Recruitment for many years on our service and have always found them to highly reliable, especially in times of urgent need when other providers have not been so helpful. They have always supplied high quality candidates for a variety of roles which have often led to their workers allocated to our contract for lengthy periods of time. They have been our preferred supplier due to this strong working relationship built up on trust over time. Their team are always at the end of the phone, even out of hours and late at night as my team have always felt assured that whenever they have made contact with them, that our needs will be considered and always met whenever they can. We have always felt that they provide a level of service that surpasses other agency providers."
Find the answers to your questions about structural engineer recruitment.
Here are some of the most common questions we receive from both, employers and candidates, about our structural engineer recruitment services, answered clearly and simply.
What qualifications do your structural engineer candidates typically hold?
Most of the professionals we place hold a degree in civil or structural engineering, often accredited by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) or ICE. Many also have chartered status and hands-on experience with software such as Tekla, AutoCAD, or Revit, depending on the role.
Can you help with urgent placements or contract roles for structural engineers?
Yes. We maintain an active network of pre-vetted candidates, including those open to immediate start dates for contract or freelance work. If you’re under tight project timelines, we can quickly shortlist qualified professionals with the exact experience you need.
Do you support recruitment for niche roles like facade or temporary works engineers?
Absolutely. Structural engineering covers a broad spectrum, and we regularly recruit for specialised positions including facade engineering, temporary works coordination, bridge design, and seismic analysis. Just let us know the specifics of your requirement.
How do you assess the suitability of candidates for senior or leadership roles?
For senior-level or lead engineering roles, we take additional steps such as in-depth reference checks, technical screening, and alignment discussions around leadership style, stakeholder management, and strategic thinking to ensure the right fit beyond just technical ability.
What’s your process for working with structural engineering consultancies versus contractors?
While the core recruitment approach remains the same, we tailor our process based on your business type. For consultancies, we prioritise candidates with strong design and reporting backgrounds, while for contractors, we focus on practical site experience, coordination skills, and construction-stage expertise.
Do you recruit structural engineers specifically in Welwyn Garden City and the surrounding areas?
Yes, we actively support employers in Welwyn Garden City and across Hertfordshire, London, and the South East. Whether you’re a local consultancy or a national firm with regional projects, we have access to candidates already based in the area as well as those open to relocating.
