As a structural Engineer, based in our Adeliade office, you will contribute to a diverse range of projects across the mining, industrial and infrastructure sectors. You will be part of a collaborative team that embraces challenges, values diverse perspectives, and develops practical engineering solutions with a focus on people, safety and project outcomes. Experience in the residential sector would be ideal, but it is not a mandatory requirement.
Key Responsibilities:
- Undertake structural analysis and design of heavy steel structures, warehouses, industrial facilities and associated infrastructure, particularly within the mining and infrastructure sectors.
- Design structural foundations, equipment supports and associated structural systems, coordinating with geotechnical inputs and construction requirements.
- Prepare high-quality engineering deliverables, including design calculations, technical reports, specifications, drawings and design sketches, while providing technical guidance to drafting and modelling teams.
- Coordinate and manage the delivery of multiple medium-sized engineering projects and work packages across the Melbourne and Adelaide portfolios.
- Collaborate with Civil and other engineering disciplines, including Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, Fire and Acoustic, to ensure effective multidisciplinary project delivery.
- Assist with project planning and coordination, including day-to-day engineering activities throughout the design and construction phases.
- Ensure engineering deliverables are completed on time and meet the required technical quality, safety, environmental and regulatory standards.
- Resolve technical and site-based engineering issues and undertake site inspections as required.
- Work independently with minimal supervision, taking ownership of assigned projects and engineering deliverables.
- Provide technical guidance, mentoring and support to graduate and junior engineers.
Skills and Experience
- Degree qualification in Civil or Structural Engineering.
- Minimum 5–6 years of relevant local engineering experience, with demonstrated capability and experience working at or progressing towards Senior Structural Engineer level.
- Experience in structural engineering design, particularly heavy steel structures, industrial facilities, mining and infrastructure projects.
- Experience in the residential sector would be advantageous but is not essential.
- Sound knowledge and practical application of relevant Australian Standards and the National Construction Code (NCC), including AS/NZS 1170 (Structural Design Actions), AS 4100 (Steel Structures), AS 3600 (Concrete Structures) and AS 3700 (Masonry Structures).
- Proficiency in structural analysis and design software such as SpaceGass, ETABS, RAM Concept and RAPT, or equivalent.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit and Bluebeam.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively with clients, contractors and multidisciplinary teams.
- A proactive approach to problem-solving, project delivery and managing competing priorities.
- Ability to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative engineering team.
