SENIOR / ASSOCIATE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER - Gold Coast
- Some buildings become landmarks. So do the engineers behind them.
- Salary $175k-$165k depending on experience
An outstanding opportunity has emerged with a highly regarded, nationally established engineering consultancy delivering some of the Gold Coast's most exciting and technically challenging building projects.
With continued growth across high-rise residential, luxury hotels, resorts, mixed-use and commercial developments, this consultancy is seeking an experienced Associate Structural Engineer who wants greater technical influence, leadership responsibility and a genuine pathway toward Principal level.
Take your career beyond technical delivery and become a recognised leader within a growing structural engineering team.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Major landmark projects – Contribute to significant high-rise residential, hospitality, resort and commercial developments shaping the Gold Coast skyline.
- Brisbane 2032 opportunities – Be part of a region benefiting from increased investment, infrastructure activity and long‑term development.
- Genuine leadership – Take responsibility for a structural team, mentor younger engineers and influence technical and project delivery outcomes.
- Technical authority – Play a leading role in structural design, engineering solutions, project strategies and complex design decisions.
- Client relationships – Work directly with architects, developers, builders and key industry stakeholders while developing your own professional profile.
- Commercial involvement – Contribute to fee proposals, project budgets, resource planning, client development and overall project profitability.
- Principal‑level progression – A genuine opportunity to move into broader business leadership as your contribution and responsibilities develop.
- Lifestyle advantage – Enjoy major‑city engineering challenges while benefiting from everything the Gold Coast has to offer.
What We're Looking For
- Ideally, you will have 8-12+ years of structural consulting experience, including a strong background in multi‑storey building design.
- You will bring sound technical knowledge of reinforced concrete, post‑tensioned structures and steel design, together with experience using ETABS, RAPT, RAM Concept, SpaceGass or similar engineering software.
- Equally important are your leadership capabilities, commercial awareness, communication skills and ability to establish lasting relationships with clients.
- CPEng would be highly regarded.
- We are particularly interested in someone who enjoys remaining technically hands‑on but is equally motivated by developing people, managing significant projects and contributing to the future direction of the business.
A Principal title is one thing. Having the projects, clients, leadership experience and professional reputation to justify it is another.
This opportunity offers the platform to achieve exactly that, within a consultancy where your contribution can make a genuine difference.
All enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence. No obligation to move. Simply compare the opportunity and decide for yourself.
Note: Only Australian / New Zealand applicants with local experience are encouraged to apply.
