What if you could shape a career as unique as you?

Qualifications:
▪ Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering. 
▪ Progressing toward Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status or equivalent professional 
registration (desirable). 

Experience, Skills and Organisational Knowledge 
▪ Approximately 5 to 8 years' experience in structural engineering design and project delivery, 
ideally within infrastructure, water or underground structures.  
▪ Practical first-principles engineering and constructability knowledge, including the ability to 
develop effective designs and undertake space proofing for brownfield installations within 
complex existing site constraints.  
▪ Experience in reinforced concrete and steel design, structural assessment and preparation of 
engineering calculations and reports.  
▪ Working knowledge of Australian Standards, safety in design requirements and quality 
management processes.  
▪ Proficiency in relevant structural analysis and design software, with the ability to coordinate 
effectively with drafting and BIM/digital delivery teams.  
▪ Strong 2D AutoCAD capability, including preparation of engineering sketches and drawings 
(highly desirable).  
▪ Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability work collaboratively with clients, 
contractors and multidisciplinary teams. 

Main Activities and Responsibilities: 
▪ Undertake structural analysis, design and documentation for underground structures, shafts, 
trenchless construction methods, temporary works and related civil infrastructure packages.  
▪ Support investigations, condition assessments and structural appraisals of existing assets 
affected by construction activities or rehabilitation requirements.  
▪ Prepare design calculations, reports, specifications and technical inputs in accordance with 
project requirements and Australian Standards.  
▪ Coordinate with geotechnical, civil, mechanical, construction and digital teams to develop 
practical and buildable design solutions.  
▪ Provide construction-phase support, including responses to technical queries, design reviews and 
site-based input where required.  
▪ Contribute to optioneering, design development, technical reviews and multidisciplinary 
workshops.  
▪ Manage own work packages to programme and budget, with support from senior staff as 
required.  
▪ Apply sound engineering judgement, safety in design principles and quality assurance processes 
throughout project delivery.  
▪ Use structural analysis and design software confidently and continue building capability in 
advanced modelling, digital engineering and efficient design approaches.  
▪ Support the team through effective collaboration, checking and knowledge sharing. 

▪ Support the delivery of high-quality outputs that build client confidence and strengthen long-term 
relationships. 
▪ Assist with preparing technical inputs for proposals, fee estimates, methodology development and 
tender submissions.  
▪ Identify opportunities to improve design efficiency, constructability and value for clients across 
project stages.
