❌ High responsibility. Low influence. Tired of that trade-off?

❌You’re the safe pair of hands. But where’s your seat at the table?

You lead projects. Clients trust you. Juniors come to you first. But when it comes to real influence or shaping direction? You're still being left out of the room.

Whether you're a seasoned senior, associate, or even principal-level structural engineer, this could be the change you've been waiting for.

🟣Got strong technical skills and a head for client work?
🔵Curious about building and leading a team, either now or in the near future?
🟢Frustrated with politics, layers of middle management, or a lack of control?

This is a genuinely flexible, growth-focused role for someone who wants to do more than just deliver great designs.

What you’ll get:

100% flexible work setup – remote, hybrid, whatever works for you. Backed by a people-first mindset that prioritises autonomy, creativity and collaboration.

Unlimited leave + wellbeing support that’s actually used, not just offered, but never micromanaged.

Bonus and shareholding opportunities linked directly to your contributions, rewarded, not overlooked.

Flat structure, zero bureaucracy – minimal middle management, more trust, more autonomy.

Real team spirit – people-focused culture, face-to-face sincerity, collaborative vibes with no egos.

Work on iconic projects – join a team with five decades of delivery in major developments, infrastructure and community works across Qld/NSW.

Employee-owned mindset – you’re not just staff; you’re an invested partner, shaping clients' and community outcomes.

Expert collaboration – learn from long-serving professionals while bringing fresh perspectives to tough engineering challenges.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll be hands-on with structural design and project delivery, but with a real seat at the table.

Based in the Sunshine Coast, you’ll partner closely with the senior civil engineer and office manager to grow the newest branch of a well-established firm. You’ll have influence over everything, including structural and technical decisions, team dynamics, and business growth strategy.

You’ll run projects end-to-end, liaising directly with clients, consultants, and contractors.

You’ll identify opportunities to win repeat and new work, supported by a strong regional reputation.

You’ll help shape the office, from workflow systems to mentoring juniors and helping recruit the next hires.

This role is right in the sweet spot: still technical, but with clear commercial impact. Your ideas will be heard. Your input will shape the business. And as the office grows, your pathway to shareholding becomes more tangible.

Is this you?

You know how to deliver quality structural design and navigate the commercial realities.

You're already guiding clients or want more opportunities to do so.

You enjoy supporting others and can see yourself leading a team.

You want work to be meaningful, not just busy.

This isn’t a role where you get told what to do.
It’s one where you shape what happens next.
