Leadership | Technical depth | Influence

Why would I move?

  • You're reading this advert for starters; something perhaps isn't quite right for you in the current role. Can we help identify that and resolve it?
  • This is a budding - literally, budding consulting firm (established enough to get funky, certainly not new), with a strong technical team.
  • A salary increase, promotion, or the recognition you've been wanting.
  • Larger, more complex projects. These are some of SA's gems.
  • An office culture that goes hand in hand with a growing business. 9 day fortnight, suitably fun cultural chat in the office.

This role is for an experienced structural engineer who’s ready to step into broader leadership, to take full commercial and technical ownership of projects, people within a well-regarded consulting practice.

We’re working with a progressive engineering consultancy known for quality work and strong technical foundations.

We are appointing a Senior or Associate Structural Engineer in Adelaide, someone who can bring experience, sound judgment, and a steady hand to a growing team.

The role
You’ll lead project delivery across a range of structural work; commercial, institutional, and complex architectural projects - while mentoring engineers and contributing to strategy and client relationships.

It’s a project leadership role in the truest sense: guiding technical outcomes, supporting your team, and helping shape the business for the long term.

Key aspects include:

  • Leading structural design and delivery across multiple projects
  • Providing technical review, coaching and direction for project teams
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, architects, and contractors
  • Contributing to business planning and development activities
  • Ensuring projects are profitable, practical, and delivered to a high standard

About you
You’re a Chartered (or nearly Chartered) Structural Engineer with solid consulting experience, ideally someone who’s already managing a small project team or major projects.

You value precision, efficiency, and integrity in your work.

You’ve built a reputation as someone who’s dependable under pressure, commercially aware, and a genuine mentor to younger engineers.

You want a position where you can lead with confidence, stay technically engaged, and have a real say in how things are done.

You're in a similar role now, in SA, NSW, WA, QLD or Vic (maybe NT?) and want more for your career.

Why this opportunity?
This is a consultancy that values great engineering, not just as a business, but as a craft. The culture is grounded, professional and ambitious. You’ll work alongside capable peers, in an environment that supports autonomy, mutual respect and long-term growth.
