Why travel into the Sydney CBD to build a serious structural engineering career?

For experienced engineers living in Western or North-Western Sydney, this is an opportunity to work closer to home while taking on considerably more responsibility.

One of Australia's fastest-growing multidisciplinary engineering consultancies is looking for an Associate Structural Engineer to take a key leadership position within its Western Sydney operation.

The business has experienced exceptional growth and has ambitious plans to potentially double in size over the next five years.

That growth creates opportunity.

They are now looking for someone who can assume greater direction of the structural group in Western Sydney - leading people, projects and clients while helping shape what the structural operation becomes as the wider business continues to expand.

The project portfolio is unusually diverse and includes:

• Large industrial and distribution centres
• Data centres and technically demanding facilities
• Medical and healthcare developments
• Commercial buildings
• Low-rise and mid-rise structures
• Large warehouse and logistics facilities
• Tunnel-related structures
• Retaining walls and complex retaining structures
• Infrastructure-associated structural projects
• Selected mining-related structural work

This is not an Associate position where you simply manage a larger collection of projects. You will become one of the senior structural figures within the Sydney business.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leadership and development of the structural engineering team
• Technical oversight and design direction
• Managing significant structural projects from concept through construction
• Resource planning and management of project workloads
• Maintaining project quality, programmes and deliverables
• Developing and mentoring engineers
• Working directly with clients, architects and contractors
• Resolving complex technical and construction issues
• Strengthening existing client relationships
• Supporting proposals and business development
• Helping drive the continued growth of the Western Sydney structural operation

We are looking for an experienced structural engineer who combines strong technical capability with the ability to lead people.

You should be comfortable making technical decisions, managing competing project priorities, dealing directly with clients and giving younger engineers the direction they need.

At Associate level, commercial awareness is also important. You will understand that successful consulting engineering is about more than producing good designs – projects need to be delivered efficiently, clients need to be looked after and teams need strong leadership.

The growth story makes this particularly interesting.

Joining a business before it potentially doubles gives you the opportunity to establish yourself as one of the people who helped build the next stage of the operation, rather than joining after all the senior leadership positions have already been filled.

And for someone living in Western Sydney, there is an equally compelling lifestyle advantage.

Work closer to home. Spend less time commuting. Lead substantial projects and a growing structural team without believing the only serious career opportunities exist in the CBD.
