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.
