Our Story
Structa was established by four like-minded engineers in 2004, who wanted to set up their own business to better serve clients and to bring together a broad and talented team of engineers and technicians focused on achieving clients’ aims and aspirations through hard work and dedication. It has always been a fundamental objective to value diversity and adopt an inclusive culture which has a positive impact in our workplace.
Today, we employ over 40 talented engineers, technicians, and business support staff, operating across 4 offices covering projects throughout the UK. Each year we take on graduates, higher-level degree apprentices and trainee technicians in order to grow our business and develop the next generation of technical staff and leaders.
