We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Structural Engineer to join our team based in Perth.
You will bring structural engineering expertise to Worley and its customers, working across projects for multiple major clients in the mining and heavy industry sectors. This is a hands-on, client-facing role that combines high-quality industrial structural design with regular site attendance (Huntly Mine initially), condition assessment and direct engagement with our customers on their operating assets.
Your skills will include strong technical design experience in industrial structures, along with the confidence and communication ability to represent Worley on client sites, understand operational constraints first-hand, and translate site findings into practical, compliant engineering solutions. You will also provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers within the discipline.
