Senior / Associate Structural Engineer | Buildings | Sydney Lead complex building projects and help shape the future of an employee-owned consultancy.

I’m working with an established engineering consultancy looking to add a Senior or Associate Structural Engineer to its Sydney team. The structural team is around 15 people, and the pipeline across data centres, commercial, healthcare and residential is already bigger than the team can take on. There’s meaningful work to step into from day one, with enough variety to keep the role technically engaging over the long term.

This could suit a Senior Engineer ready to take on more client and project responsibility, or an established Associate who wants to stay close to the design while helping lead a team. The culture is one of the strongest I’ve come across, and the directors are actively planning for the next generation of leaders. It’s a business where you can build a long-term career and have a say in how the Sydney team develops.

The opportunity

- Lead the structural design and delivery of building projects from concept and option studies through detailed design and construction.
- Work across data centres, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities and residential developments, with different design and coordination challenges across each sector.
- Be a key point of contact for clients,



architects and builders, helping resolve technical and buildability issues as projects progress.
- Guide engineers and drafters, review calculations and documentation, and mentor less experienced team members.
- At Associate level, take a broader role in project scoping, resourcing, client relationships and the development of the Sydney team.

About you
- You have substantial structural design experience in an Australian buildings consultancy, with a strong grounding in reinforced concrete and structural steel.
- You’ve led structural packages or building projects and are comfortable making design decisions, coordinating across disciplines and seeing work through to construction.
- You’re confident with structural analysis and design software, relevant Australian Standards and the National Construction Code.
- You hold a degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, or equivalent, and enjoy developing people as well as delivering projects.

The salary is highly competitive and will reflect your experience and the level of responsibility you take on.
