The Opportunity
You will become part of a growing team working towards taking the business to the next level. Your valued experience will contribute to the direction of the company and you will be expected to take initiative, be a team player and must be able to work independently.
About Us
Structural Arts is a small and growing practice based in the Gold Coast Hinterland. We work with a lot of great clients and our business is built on our reputation for providing excellent designs and personalised service. We are strongly focused on customer service and we take pride in building solid and professional relationships.
Projects range in size and scale from small renovations to $5M commercial developments to $20M hospitality and community facilities. As our name implies, we believe the practice of engineering is an art and a creative endeavour, as we support our clients and colleagues in trying to achieve something more than ordinary.
About the Role
Our wide range of projects includes retail and commercial developments, multi storey office buildings, support for equipment in industrial and mining applications, water treatment plant structures, solar farms and solar installations, prestige homes, basic residential renovations and retaining walls. We consult to architects, developers, factory and mine operators, Councils, hospital and aged care providers, project managers and civil engineers and builders.
We work closely with our all our clients; you’ll be supported and encouraged to develop strong working relationships with them. Occasionally you may need to travel to remote sites; height and confined space access skills will be valuable.
Dedication to our clients means we take on small tasks including residential renovations, retaining and revetment walls and condition evaluations. You will be able to complete these projects while also working with larger consultant teams on other projects.
Benefits and Perks
The Gold Coast is a very liveable city offering great lifestyle options and relatively affordable living. Our comfortable office is in a scenic setting.
Working hours can be flexible to suit your schedule and working remotely may be possible on occasion and following satisfactory completion of a Probationary period.
If successful, you will be offered a market-competitive salary that is commensurate with your Qualifications and experience.
About You
You understand structural engineering intuitively – you know what a free body diagram is and you understand the term “load path”. You’ve learned the finer points of engineering design by personally digging into the codes and standards and applying them. You don’t trust spreadsheets until you verify them for yourself. You’re intelligent, diligent, rigorous and capable.
You will bring a range of capabilities and experience as we work across several industries and offer a wide variety of services. You will be able to take on small to large tasks with equal skill and enthusiasm.
You have a positive attitude and enjoy the challenge of difficult projects and structures. You have good analytical skills and strong written communication skills. You can sketch and draw and understand the need for working to scale. Your skills include structural analysis and design in steel, concrete, masonry, timber and aluminium. Experience in commercial construction and earth retaining structures is essential.
We are a small team with diverse backgrounds and experience levels. We see your greatest value is in collaborating with your coworkers and colleagues, sharing the benefit of your skills and experience and uplifting the whole team. You're comfortable to pick up the phone and talk to our clients, architects and the builders we work with.
Experience in water infrastructure, mining and mineral processing and residential design is highly desirable. Australian experience is essential.
We expect you to be:
- Proficient in SpaceGass and RamConcePT
- Accustomed to using Bluebeam to markup drawings
- Skilled with spreadsheets
Experience using Tedds, AutoCAD, Navisworks and Revit would also be good. We won't be asking you to draft but the ability to sketch and use the programs is important.
