What will you do?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Structural Engineer to join our Buildings team in Perth.

In this role, you will play a key part in delivering complex building structures from concept through to detailed design and construction support. You’ll work across a varied portfolio including hospitals and health facilities, schools and education campuses, commercial high-rise developments, and defence facilities—providing practical, safe, compliant and buildable structural solutions.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll lead design packages, collaborate closely with architects and multidisciplinary engineers, coordinate with offshore delivery teams where required, and contribute to design reviews, technical leadership and mentoring. You’ll also engage directly with clients and stakeholders, helping shape outcomes and supporting proposals and repeat work through excellent client service.

Here are the key things you will need to ‘bring ideas to life’:

• Demonstrated Australian buildings experience delivering structural design on projects such as hospitals, schools, commercial buildings/high-rise, and/or defence facilities.
• Strong capability designing and documenting building structures in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and the NCC, including (as applicable):
  • AS/NZS 1170 (Structural design actions)
  • AS 4100 (Steel structures)
  • AS 3600 (Concrete structures)
  • AS 3700 (Masonry structures)
  • AS 1684 (Timber framing)
  • Familiarity with AS/NZS 5131 (structural steelwork fabrication/erection) and typical local construction practices (highly regarded)
• Proven experience or exposure with industry software such as SpaceGass, ETABS, Strand7, RAM Concept, and BIM delivery using Revit/Tekla (or equivalent).
• Ability to lead elements of structural delivery—coordinating packages, managing interfaces, and ensuring quality outcomes on time and to budget.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including producing clear calculations, design reports, and documentation suitable for Australian project delivery and approvals.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a collaborative, high-performance team culture.
• Confidence working with geographically distributed teams (including offshore support) while maintaining technical governance and design accountability.
• Degree qualifications in Civil/Structural Engineering (CPEng / RPEQ / Chartered status or working toward is highly regarded).

Defence projects: Some roles may require the ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government security clearance; Australian citizenship may be required for certain projects.

We know today’s complex challenges can only be solved by bringing together diverse teams from across our business. You’ll have opportunities to apply your skills across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond—helping shape the next generation of community and critical infrastructure.
