Structural Engineer (Residential) | 4-Day Work Week | Pathway to Leadership

Engineering Design Global Enterprises Pty Ltd – Canberra ACT

Looking for a role that fits around life, not the other way around?

• New homes
• Extensions and renovations
• Townhouses
• Small multi-residential developments

Whether you're looking for 3 or 4 days per week, we're open to designing a role that suits the right person.

• Structural design of residential projects

• Preparation and review of calculations and documentation
• Liaising with builders, architects, certifiers and homeowners
• Managing project delivery and client expectations
• Assisting graduate and junior engineers where appropriate
• Contributing to quality assurance and technical standards

About You

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Degree qualification in Civil or Structural Engineering
• 3-8 years' experience in residential structural consulting
• Strong understanding of Australian residential construction
• Excellent communication and client management skills
• Ability to work autonomously and manage project deadlines
• Experience with timber, steel, masonry and concrete residential structures
• Chartered status or working towards Chartered accreditation (desirable)

Most importantly, you're someone who enjoys residential engineering and wants a role that offers both professional challenge and personal flexibility.
