Job description

SENIOR / ASSOCIATE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER - Gold Coast Principal-Level Career ProgressionSome buildings become landmarks. So do the engineers behind them.

Salary $175k-$165k depending on experience An outstanding opportunity has emerged with a highly regarded, nationally established engineering consultancy delivering some of the Gold Coast's most exciting and technically challenging building projects. With continued growth across high-rise residential, luxury hotels, resorts, mixed-use and commercial developments, this consultancy is seeking an experienced Associate Structural Engineer who wants greater technical influence, leadership responsibility and a genuine pathway toward Principal level.

Take your career beyond technical delivery and become a recognised leader within a growing structural engineering team. Why This Opportunity Stands

Out Major landmark projects - Contribute to significant high-rise residential, hospitality, resort and commercial developments shaping the Gold Coast skyline. Brisbane 2032 opportunities - Be part of a region benefiting from increased investment, infrastructure activity and long-term development.

Genuine leadership - Take responsibility for a structural team, mentor younger engineers and influence technical and project delivery outcomes. Technical authority - Play a leading role in structural design, engineering solutions, project strategies and complex design decisions. Client relationships - Work directly with architects, developers, builders and key industry stakeholders while developing your own professional profile. Commercial involvement - Contribute to fee proposals, project budgets, resource planning, client development and overall project profitability.

Principal-level progression - A genuine opportunity to move into broader business leadership as your contribution and responsibilities develop. Lifestyle advantage - Enjoy major-city engineering challenges while benefiting from everything the Gold Coast has to offer. What

We're Looking For Ideally, you will have 8-12+ years of structural consulting experience, including a strong background in multi-storey building design.

You will bring sound technical knowledge of reinforced concrete, post-tensioned structures and steel design, together with experience using ETABS, RAPT, RAM Concept, SpaceGass or similar engineering software. Equally important are your leadership capabilities, commercial awareness, communication skills and ability to establish lasting relationships with clients. CPEng would be highly regarded.

We are particularly interested in someone who enjoys remaining technically hands-on but is equally motivated by developing people, managing significant projects and contributing to the future direction of the business. Your Next Career Move

A Principal title is one thing. Having the projects, clients, leadership experience and professional reputation to justify it is another. This opportunity offers the platform to achieve exactly that, within a consultancy where your contribution can make a genuine difference.
