About the Business
This is a rare opportunity to join one of Brisbane's most established and respected structural and civil consultancies — a business with over 55 years of history delivering some of the region's most significant built environment projects.

The practice is award-winning, operating across retail, commercial, health, civil infrastructure, defence, community and lifestyle sectors throughout Australia. Innovation, constructability and optimised design solutions are central to how they work, underpinned by a culture built on communication, creativity, honesty, and social and environmental consciousness.

What makes this business genuinely different is its employee-ownership model. Over 10% of the team hold gifted equity — a tangible financial benefit that goes well beyond salary, and a clear signal of how much this business invests in its people.

The Role
You will take ownership of structural design and project delivery across major building developments including sporting facilities, public buildings, education, and commercial projects.

This is not a role where you are expected to chase work. The projects and client relationships are already in place. Your focus will be on technical delivery, project leadership, and mentoring others within a collaborative, high-performing team.

You will be trusted to manage projects properly — with autonomy, support, and genuine respect for your experience.

Skills and Experience
  • Degree-qualified Structural Engineer (CPEng or eligible)
  • Strong ETABS capability, particularly lateral analysis of mid-rise structures (20+ storeys)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage structural projects end-to-end
  • Experience guiding and mentoring junior engineers
  • A genuine commitment to quality design outcomes and constructability
What's on Offer
  • Flexible working arrangements, including remote work options for a Brisbane-based role
  • A clear pathway to Associate and beyond within an employee-owned business
  • Gifted equity opportunities — real financial upside on top of your salary package
  • Established projects and long-standing client relationships — no business development pressure
  • A senior, stable team culture where experience is valued and contribution is recognised

The Opportunity
This is a chance to do meaningful work, locally, within a respected consultancy that values its people and offers genuine career longevity.

If you’re at a stage in your career where project quality, autonomy, lifestyle, and long-term satisfaction matter more than titles or corporate politics, this is worth exploring.

All enquiries and applications will be treated in strict confidence.
