Job description

• Major Buildings Queensland Leadership Strategic Growth
• Salary $204-176k depending on experience
• Help shape Queensland's skyline - and the future direction of the business delivering it.

Some Principal roles simply maintain the status quo. This one gives you the opportunity to influence what comes next.

A highly regarded engineering consultancy with an established presence across the eastern seaboard is looking for an accomplished Principal Structural Engineer to work closely with the QLD Manager and become one of the key technical and leadership figures within its Brisbane operation.

This is a senior appointment for someone who has already established their credibility within the building structures market and is now looking for greater influence across projects, people, clients and the continued growth of the business.

The projects are substantial and technically challenging, including:

• High-rise residential and mixed-use developments
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Educational and institutional projects
• Complex multidisciplinary building projects

You will remain close to the engineering, but your contribution will extend considerably beyond technical design.

Working alongside the QLD Manager, you will help provide the leadership and direction required to successfully deliver major projects while continuing to strengthen the consultancy's position within the QLD market.

Your involvement will include:

• Technical leadership across major structural projects
• Providing design direction and resolving complex engineering issues
• Leading projects from concept through design and construction
• Reviewing designs and maintaining high technical standards
• Managing project programmes, resources and deliverables
• Developing and mentoring Senior and intermediate Structural Engineers
• Building strong relationships with architects, developers and other key clients
• Identifying and developing future project opportunities
• Supporting tenders, proposals and business development
• Working closely with the QLD Manager on the continued growth of the Brisbane operation

We are particularly interested in someone who understands both the technical and commercial sides of consulting engineering.

You should be comfortable walking into a client meeting, leading a major design discussion, guiding a team through a difficult technical problem and ensuring projects remain commercially and technically on track.

You may already be operating at Principal level, or perhaps you are a strong Associate who has reached the ceiling within your current organisation and is ready for considerably greater responsibility.

Either way, you will have established Australian consultancy experience across substantial building structures and a reputation for being someone clients and engineers trust.

The attraction here is influence. You will have the backing of an established multidisciplinary consultancy and a strong Queensland Manager, while still having the autonomy and visibility to make a genuine difference to the operation.

If you've built your technical reputation and are now looking for a position where your judgement, leadership and relationships can help shape where a business goes next, this is worth a confidential conversation.

Note: Only Australian / New Zealand applicants with local experience are encouraged to apply.
