Senior Structural Engineer - Bespoke Projects
The Company Not every Structural Engineer wants to spend their career designing the same buildings, following the same processes and waiting for someone else to make the decisions.
This opportunity is a little different. Our client is an established, award-winning engineering consultancy with more than 30 years of experience across South East Queensland. With continued demand for more complex and architecturally driven projects, they've established a dedicated Bespoke Engineering team.
Think architecturally designed homes, challenging renovations, structural alterations and boutique multi-residential developments. Projects where the solution isn't always obvious, and good engineering judgement genuinely matters.
The team is growing, the projects are interesting, and there's an opportunity for an experienced engineer to play a meaningful role in what comes next.
Why Join?
- A newly created position with the opportunity to make the role your own
- Genuine autonomy and ownership of projects from concept through to construction
- Architecturally designed homes, complex renovations and boutique multi-residential projects
- A growing specialist team where your ideas and technical input will be valued
- Work directly with architects, builders and clients rather than being removed from the action
- Experienced technical leadership and support when you need it, without being micromanaged
- A spacious, modern office with a relaxed, collaborative and professional environment
- Regular team events, monthly activities and lunch-and-learn sessions
- An established, award-winning consultancy with more than 30 years behind it
- Clear opportunities to grow your responsibilities and influence as the team develops
The Role This is an opportunity for a Structural Engineer who enjoys the technical side of engineering but is ready for more ownership, autonomy and involvement in project decisions.
You'll become a key member of the Bespoke Engineering team, working on projects that demand creativity, sound engineering judgement and practical solutions.
From architecturally designed homes and complex renovations through to boutique multi-residential developments, you'll be involved from the early design stages right through to construction.
You'll have the freedom to manage your projects, build relationships with architects and builders, and contribute to how the team operates and grows.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Hands-on structural design across reinforced concrete, structural steel and timber
- Design of suspended concrete slabs, with post-tensioned concrete experience highly regarded
- Taking ownership of projects from initial concept and design through to construction and completion
- Developing practical engineering solutions for complex architectural designs, renovations and structural alterations
- Working directly with architects, builders, clients and other consultants
- Providing construction-stage advice, undertaking site inspections and resolving technical challenges
- Reviewing structural designs, calculations and documentation
- Contributing to project delivery, commercial outcomes and client relationships
- Supporting junior engineers and sharing technical knowledge
- Helping shape the processes, standards and future direction of the Bespoke Engineering team
About You
Technical capability matters, but attitude, communication and the way you approach your work matter just as much.
You'll be an experienced Structural Engineer with strong hands-on design capability across steel and concrete, including suspended slabs and ideally PT concrete.
You'll also bring:
- Strong experience within building structures
- Practical construction knowledge and sound engineering judgement
- Confidence dealing directly with architects, builders and clients
- Experience with suspended concrete slabs, with PT design experience advantageous
- A commercial mindset and ownership of project outcomes
- Experience across bespoke residential, complex renovations or boutique multi-residential would be highly regarded
- Existing relationships within the architectural community would be advantageous
- RPEQ registration is highly regarded, however there is flexibility depending on your broader experience, capability and fit.
