What will you do? 

We have an exciting opportunity for an Associate – Structural (Industrial / Mining & Resources) to join our Perth, WA team. 

This is a senior leadership role where you will provide technical governance and strategic direction across industrial structural programs, while also driving strong commercial outcomes.

  • Support work-winning through proposals, tender strategy, partner engagement and identifying repeat opportunities.
