OB Engineering Group is an Adelaide-based civil and structural engineering consultancy. We work across residential, commercial and industrial projects throughout metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia. Our team is built around clear advice, practical solutions and reliable delivery, supported by modern digital tools and systems that take the friction out of how we work.
The work
The role splits between structural design and site-based assessment. In a given week you might design steel frame and concrete for a commercial extension, inspect footing movement on a residential job, and design a retaining wall. The range is the point, it keeps the work varied and builds breadth fast
Day to day you will be:
Undertake detailed civil and structural design for commercial and residential projects
Conduct site inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings
Prepare calculations, reports, and drawings in line with company documentation standards
Perform forensic structural inspections, including investigation of structural damage, cracking, movement, and construction defects
Prepare forensic engineering reports, including cause analysis, structural adequacy assessments, and repair recommendations
Ensure all designs comply with Australian Standards and NCC
Deliver assigned tasks efficiently, meeting deadlines and budget requirements
Design structural elements using timber, steel, and concrete
Where you're at
We can shape the role around your level of experience. A few years in and keen to build investigation skills alongside a focus on design? We'll support that. More experienced and ready for a senior seat with a line toward leading delivery, that's open too
What you'll need
Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering (Australian-accredited)
3+ years' post-graduate experience in civil or structural engineering
Proficiency in AutoCAD, SpaceGass, Structural Toolkit, STAAD.Pro, Microstran, and Checkwind, CORD

Experience in forensic structural inspections and report writing is highly desirable
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to clients
