Job description

Join a specialist structural engineering consultancy that is actively delivering some of Melbourne's most prestigious architectural builds.

J+P Building Solutions is currently delivering some of Melbourne’s most striking architectural builds — bespoke, design-led homes and commercial developments that demand real engineering creativity and carry genuine prestige. We work in close partnership with the city’s most reputable architects and builders, and as a graduate joining our team, you’ll be part of that work from the start.

You’ll be building a high-profile portfolio — the kind that takes most engineers years to accumulate — while being supported every step of the way by a close-knit team of experienced engineers who take mentorship seriously.

What you’ll be working on

Our current pipeline spans some of Melbourne’s most architecturally significant residential builds — including high-end custom homes and boutique multi-storey residential developments — alongside a varied mix of commercial work including industrial facilities, retail and mixed-use projects. It’s a broad, stimulating body of work that offers rare structural variety this early in a career.

Beyond the project mix, you’ll be gaining access to advanced, highly specialised structural design knowledge — developed over decades of working on technically demanding, design-led projects alongside the best in the industry.

Day to day, you’ll be

• Working alongside our experienced engineering team on structural and civil design and documentation
• Building a portfolio you’ll be proud to show for the rest of your career

What we’re looking for

• A Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (recently completed)
• High attention to detail and strong analytical skills — an ability to think carefully through structural problems and produce precise, considered work
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first attitude
• A genuine eagerness to learn; familiarity with AutoCAD and popular structural analysis software (such as SpaceGass) is expected, while experience with Revit is a plus — above all, we value curiosity and drive
• Full working rights in Australia

What’s in it for you

• Immediate involvement in some of Melbourne’s most architecturally significant current builds — rare exposure at graduate level
• A varied commercial and residential project mix that broadens your structural experience from early on
• Access to specialised design knowledge and mentorship from a team of experienced engineers, including a Chartered Professional Engineer with 20+ years in the industry
• A supportive, people-first culture where growth is taken seriously and asking questions is always encouraged
• A clear pathway toward chartered status with team support every step of the way
• Flexible working arrangements, including flexible hours and a hybrid attendance model
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
