Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) or eligibility to obtain within Engineers Australia.
Typically 6–12 years’ experience in structural design within a consulting environment.
Strong background in building structure design of data centers, commercial, industrial, health, defence, education, sports and aquatic or mixed-use projects.
Proven experience independently delivering complete structural design packages.
Strong understanding of Australian Standards and NCC requirements (e.g. AS 1170 series, AS 3600, AS 4100, AS 3700, AS 2870 etc).
Experience with site inspections, construction support and design coordination.
Capability to operate at discipline-lead level on projects.
Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with clients and project stakeholders.
Interest in developing greater exposure to project delivery, resourcing, and commercial aspects.

Software Experience (preferred)

Structural Toolkit, SpaceGass, Strand 7, ETABS, RAM, PTD, RAPT etc
Bluebeam, BIM collaboration tools
Knowledge of Revit / AutoCAD

About You

Strong technical capability with a commitment to high-quality structural design.
Confident working independently while contributing effectively within project teams.
Detail-oriented with a strong focus on accuracy, safety, and compliance.
Proactive and solutions-focused, with the ability to identify risks and add value.
Curious, growth-oriented, and committed to continuous professional development.
