The Opportunity

n

EDGE Consulting Engineers is an Australian-owned Structural and Civil Engineering consultancy experiencing strong national growth across Queensland, ACT, and Australia-wide, with select international exposure.

n

We are seeking an experienced Structural Manager to lead our Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) structural team.

n

This is a genuine senior leadership role — responsible for people, performance, technical excellence, and business outcomes — with the autonomy and influence to shape the future of the office.

n

If you're currently navigating congestion, corporate layers, or relentless utilisation pressure — and you're ready for leadership with balance — this role offers a different pace without sacrificing impact.

n

Why EDGE

As Structural Manager, you will:

n

n
- Lead and grow the Sunshine Coast structural function
n
- Own team performance, delivery standards, and culture
n
- Influence strategy through direct access to Directors
n
- Drive financial performance and sustainable growth
n
- Shape recruitment, succession, and long-term capability
n

n

You'll operate within a nationally connected business supported by solid QA systems,



operational frameworks, and cross-office collaboration.

n

This is leadership with backing — not leadership in isolation.

n

Lifestyle Without Compromise

n

Based in Maroochydore, you'll enjoy:

n

n
- Short commutes and genuine work–life balance
n
- Beach, cafés, and schools minutes from the office
n
- A relaxed coastal environment without sacrificing project calibre
n
- A community designed for long-term living
n

n

Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.

n

n

n
- Manage financial targets and team profitability
n
- Forecast workload, resourcing, and staffing requirements
n




- Contribute to fee proposals and commercial strategy

Client & Growth

n

n
- Maintain and strengthen key client relationships
n

n
- Commercial awareness and financial acumen
n
- Confident client‐facing capability
