About Us n

Morgan Consulting Engineers (MCE) is a structural and civil engineering consultancy that has been operating in Brisbane since 1972.

n

With around 55 employees across multiple engineering disciplines, we’re an established business with a friendly, down-to-earth team and a busy project workplace.

n

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Forensic / Structural Engineer with RPEQ registration to join our Forensic team.

The Role n

This is an opportunity for an experienced engineer to apply their technical expertise in a different way – investigating structural damage, defects and failures, determining causation and developing practical engineering solutions.

n

You’ll independently manage forensic matters from initial instruction through to site inspections, investigations, technical reporting and structural design, working with a range of clients and stakeholders.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Undertake site inspections and forensic investigations into structural damage, defects and failures.
n
- Assess evidence, construction information and site conditions to determine causes and contributing factors.
n
- Prepare clear, accurate and technically robust forensic engineering reports and recommendations.
n
- Undertake structural analysis and assessment of existing and new structures.
n




- Develop structural designs for remedial works, repairs and alterations.
n
- Prepare structural design sketches and work with our Drafting team to produce accurate design documentation.
n
- Independently manage allocated matters, priorities, deadlines and client expectations.
n
- Communicate technical findings to clients and stakeholders, including insurers, loss adjusters, builders and property owners.
n
- Provide technical guidance and support to less experienced engineers.
n
- Contribute to the continued development of MCE’s forensic engineering capability.
n

About You nn
- Degree qualification in Civil and/or Structural Engineering.
n
- Current RPEQ registration in the relevant area of engineering.
n
- Approximately 5+ years’ relevant engineering experience.
n
- Experience in forensic, structural, remedial, diagnostic or building-related engineering.
n
- Strong knowledge of structural engineering principles, construction methods, materials, defects and failure mechanisms.
n
- Excellent analytical, investigative and problem-solving skills.
n
- Strong technical report writing skills and the ability to communicate complex engineering matters clearly.
n
- Ability to independently manage projects, priorities and deadlines.
n
- Sound professional judgement, attention to detail and strong client communication skills.
n




- Current driver’s licence and ability to attend site inspections.
n

n

Previous forensic engineering experience is highly regarded but not essential. We’re also interested in hearing from experienced structural or remedial engineers looking to transition into forensic engineering.

n

Experience preparing expert reports or providing expert evidence would also be advantageous.

Why Join MCE? n

MCE is an established Brisbane-based engineering consultancy offering a varied workload, technical autonomy and the opportunity to work on challenging engineering investigations.

n

Our values are simple: Professionalism + Ethics = Excellence, Teamwork, Enjoy What We Do, Right Solution for the Right Job, and No BS!

n

You’ll also receive:

n

n
- 37.5-hour working week
n
- A full-time, stable position with an established Brisbane business
n
- Exposure to a diverse range of forensic investigations and structural engineering matters
n
- Autonomy to independently manage your work and projects
n
- Support from an experienced and collaborative engineering team
n
- Support for continuing professional development and RPEQ requirements
n
- Opportunities for career progression
n
- Employee referral bonus
n
- Recognition of service milestones
n
- Regular social events, including Friday drinks

If you’re an experienced RPEQ engineer who enjoys understanding why something happened, not just designing what comes next , we’d love to hear from you.
