About the Company

A dynamic and innovative structural engineering consultancy with offices across Australia is seeking an Intermediate / Senior Structural Engineer.

They offer a collaborative, supportive work environment, a strong pipeline of landmark projects, and clear pathways for career progression and leadership.

About the Role

This role suits an experienced and driven Structural Engineer with local Australian experience (preferably in QLD). You’ll be involved in the design and delivery of complex multi-storey reinforced and post-tensioned concrete buildings, using ETABS and RAM Concept.

You’ll collaborate closely with architects, builders, and clients to deliver high-quality, buildable, and coordinated designs for some of Australia’s most exciting high-rise projects.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and/or contribute to structural analysis and design of multi-storey RC/PT buildings using ETABS (gravity/lateral systems, dynamic/modal, wind & seismic to AS/NZS 1170.2/.4)

Design floor systems in RAM Concept (slab/raft, PT tendons, punching shear, deflection, vibration, staged construction)

Perform first principles verification (hand checks, simplified models, strut-and-tie, yield line) and peer reviews

Prepare clear mark-ups, details, and schedules; coordinate closely with Revit drafters to produce accurate and buildable documentation

Prepare calculations, design reports, briefs, and RFI responses; attend client and consultant meetings

Drive value engineering and constructability outcomes

Apply Australian codes (NCC, AS 3600, AS/NZS 1170 series; AS 4100 exposure advantageous) and internal QA procedures

Support tender/D&C phases with options analysis and rapid turnaround studies

Skills & Experience

3–5+ years of structural engineering experience with multi-storey building design in Australia (QLD experience highly regarded)

Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering (Master’s desirable)

Strong ETABS skills (mandatory); proficiency in RAM Concept (highly regarded)

Proven ability to take projects from concept through IFC, including model build, load paths, stability checks, and documentation handover

Strong first principles knowledge and sound engineering judgement

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment

Melbourne-based candidates open to relocation are welcome to apply

Highly Desirable

PT and RC design experience using RAM Concept and RAPT to AS 3600

Experience with tall building lateral systems, transfer structures, foundations/piles, precast, and facades

Experience with D&C/tender support and value engineering

Current Projects

You will have the chance to work on landmark projects including:

Tower developments ranging from 30 to 75 storeys

Multiple mid-rise commercial and residential buildings

Major data centre projects
