Job description

About the role

As the Senior Structural Engineer, you'll deliver structural engineering solutions across residential developments, subdivisions and infrastructure projects.

This isn't about designing high-rise buildings or major bridge structures.

Instead, you'll focus on practical engineering that gets built.

• Retaining walls.
• Driveways.
• Accessways.
• Subdivision infrastructure.
• Drainage structures.

The kind of projects that help shape growing communities.

You'll take ownership of complex structural design and analysis, ensuring every solution is practical, buildable, innovative and commercially appropriate.

You'll review structural calculations, reports and design documentation, helping establish consistency across structural engineering standards as this capability becomes part of the business.

Working alongside civil engineers, planners, architects and drafters, you'll contribute to integrated project outcomes while providing specialist structural expertise throughout the project lifecycle.

Day to day, you'll:

• Lead the structural design of residential developments, subdivisions and infrastructure projects.
• Deliver practical, innovative and commercially appropriate engineering solutions.
• Take responsibility for complex structural design and analysis.
• Review and approve structural calculations, reports and design documentation.
• Help establish consistent structural engineering standards across projects.

Design structural elements including

• Driveways, accessways, slabs and jointing designs.
• Retaining walls (timber, concrete, block, sandstone and sleepers).
• Structural components associated with residential subdivisions.
• Drainage structures including special pits, culvert slabs and headwalls.
• Coordinate designs with civil engineers, architects and drafting teams to deliver integrated project outcomes.

About You

You know structural engineering.

More importantly, you know practical structural engineering.

You've probably spent around 8 years designing solutions across residential developments, land development or infrastructure projects and you're ready for something a little different.

You enjoy solving complex engineering problems.

You like collaborating with other disciplines.

You're comfortable reviewing designs, making engineering decisions and providing guidance where needed.

But what really interests you is the opportunity.

The opportunity to help introduce Structural Engineering into an already successful consultancy.

Not because you're expected to build or manage a team tomorrow.

But because you'll have genuine influence on how this capability develops over time.

You'll also bring

• A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Experience across residential, subdivision or infrastructure projects.
• Strong knowledge of Australian Standards and the NCC.
• CPEng (or be working towards Chartership).
