Riddwood is a specialist Construction Engineering consultancy dedicated to designing temporary works solutions across Australia. In a world of generalists, we are proud to be specialists – trusted by contractors of all sizes to design the temporary works that make construction possible.

From bridges and tunnels to complex civil and building structures, our engineers combine strong technical expertise with practical construction knowledge to deliver safe, buildable and efficient solutions that keep projects moving.

We are looking for a Junior Engineer to join our Engineering team and build their career while contributing to some of Australia’s major infrastructure projects.

In this role, you will work on complex projects involving tunnels, bridges and large-scale civil structures. You will develop and deliver engineering solutions that bring together structural design and construction methodology, with involvement across the full project lifecycle—from concept design and detailed analysis through to construction support and site inspections.

You will work closely with experienced engineers who understand both design and construction, giving you the opportunity to learn through real project experience, regular guidance and practical feedback. As your skills develop, you will take on increasing responsibility, build your technical and commercial understanding, and work towards managing your own designs and client relationships.

This is an opportunity to develop as a well-rounded construction engineer, solve real construction challenges and see your designs come to life on site.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Perform structural calculations and analysis under supervision and in accordance with Riddwood’s design guidelines, Australian Standards and quality assurance processes.

Assist with the design and review of temporary structures in steel, concrete and timber across major infrastructure,



civil and building projects.

Develop your structural analysis and design skills while producing accurate calculations, design reports and supporting documentation.

Work collaboratively within the design team, supporting senior engineers and contributing to technical problem-solving.

Liaise with engineers, drafters, clients and construction teams to understand design requirements and maintain clear communication throughout each project.

Undertake site inspections to build your understanding of construction methods and temporary works in practice.
