About Karagozian and Case
Karagozian & Case (K&C) is an internationally recognised multidisciplinary science and engineering consulting
firm founded in 1945. K&C is a leader in the explosive effects and protective design field. Our mission is focused
on solving complex and challenging problems for the defence, space, energy, security, construction, and
manufacturing industries, using state of the art testing, analysis and design methodologies developed over our
75 year history. With our head office located in Glendale, USA, our Australian office, in Sydney, NSW is looking to
expand in order support the delivery of numerous high profile transport infrastructure, commercial, government

Career Opportunity
K&C Australia is seeking a high performing structural engineer with interests and experience in designing,
assessing, and analysing structures and facades for accidental and/or intentional explosive and impact events.
The interested candidate should have a strong interest in, and/or demonstrate technical experience in the
following areas:
- structural engineering design including structural dynamics
- façade engineering
- security and/or risk management
- finite element analysis and/or computational mechanics
- hostile vehicle mitigation and vehicle dynamics assessments
- research and development
- project delivery and interdisciplinary coordination
- technical writing
This position will support the delivery of numerous large scale complex infrastructure and protective engineering
design projects, with regular client liaison, project management, and provision of mentoring and career
development for junior team members being key components of this role.
Explicit experience in blast engineering design is not a pre-requisite but a valued plus. Applicants without
demonstrated blast engineering experience must have strong fundamental knowledge of first principles
engineering mechanics and structural dynamics and demonstrated experience with the delivery of high-profile
transport infrastructure, commercial, government and defence projects.
We will provide opportunities and encouragement for you to develop your technical skills and to grow into
leadership roles to support project management, marketing, and business development, as your interests dictate.
