A four-day week. No catch. Seriously.
n
You've probably seen a few posts floating around about firms talking culture, flexibility, and balance, but not many actually deliver it.
n
We're partnering with one of the AFR's Best Places to Work to find a Senior Structural Engineer to join their Brisbane team.
n
This is ideal for someone who's spent the last few years cutting their teeth on complex structures commercial, industrial, logistics or mixed‐use and is now ready for a role that still challenges technically but also feels better day to day.
n
What the role looks like day to day
n
You'll work across a mix of industrial and logistics builds, manufacturing facilities, and bespoke commercial structures often multi‐stage projects where you'll own packages from early concept through to detailed design and delivery.
n
It's a role with variety; one day you'll be across concept design coordination with an architect, the next you might be leading QA checks, reviewing calculations, or guiding mid‐level engineers through design decisions.
n
You'll have direct exposure to clients and consultants, not hidden behind project leads, and be trusted to build relationships and drive outcomes.
n
There's structure, but not red tape.
n
The systems and tools are genuinely best‐in‐class with everything from modelling platforms to documentation workflows has been built for engineers to spend less time on admin and more on design.
n
You'll be supported by senior technical mentors (no egos, no gatekeeping)
and have real pathways to grow, whether that's into leadership or deeper technical mastery.
n

About you
n
You've probably got 5–10 years' experience in structural engineering, ideally within consulting, and you're comfortable delivering end‐to‐end projects. You've built a reputation for sound technical judgment, clear communication, and being that steady, reliable person on a project.
n
You're also the kind of engineer who likes to mentor and you enjoy seeing younger engineers "get it," and you take pride in setting standards others want to follow.
n
If you've been thinking, "I still love engineering... I just want to do it somewhere that's got it figured out," this could be that place.
