This established engineering consultancy has built a strong reputation for technical excellence, practical design thinking and high-quality project delivery across the Victorian buildings market.

With continued growth across a diverse project portfolio, the business is now looking to appoint a Associate Structural Engineer to play a key role in technical leadership, project delivery and team development.

Working closely with the Directors, this position will suit an experienced structural engineer who enjoys being technically hands-on while also taking ownership of project outcomes, mentoring staff and contributing to the continued growth of the business.

The consultancy works across a broad range of building projects for both public and private sector clients, including commercial, residential, education, institutional and industrial developments. Project values vary from smaller-scale building works through to major projects exceeding $60 million.

In this leadership role, you will act as a senior technical authority within the business, providing guidance to engineers and modellers while overseeing the successful delivery of a portfolio of projects.

Responsibilities will include:
  • Technical management of structural engineering projects
  • Oversight and coordination of design and documentation
  • Mentoring and development of junior engineers and modellers
  • Supporting Directors with project strategy and design solutions
  • Managing project budgets, deliverables and timeframes
  • Reviewing and signing off project documentation
  • Liaising with clients, architects, builders and project stakeholders
  • Undertaking site inspections, investigations and construction-phase support
To be considered, you will ideally have:
  • A recognised degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
  • PE(Vic) registration
  • Approximately 10+ years’ experience in a consulting engineering environment
  • Strong experience in the design and analysis of medium to large-scale building projects
  • Sound knowledge of Australian Standards, NCC requirements and relevant design codes
  • Proven ability to mentor and guide engineering staff
  • Strong commercial awareness and project delivery capability
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
This is a key senior appointment and would suit either an established Associate Structural Engineer or an experienced Senior Structural Engineer ready to step into a broader leadership role.

A salary package in the range of $160,000 to $180,000 is anticipated, depending on experience.
