Complex Building Design - Sydney

SENIOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEER - Design Consultancy

A well established and respected structural design consultancy delivering complex, design-led buildings across Australia is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer. Enjoy greater ownership, stronger project visibility, and real influence over outcomes.

There is an immediate opportunity, with the team continuing to grow. This is not simply a design role - it is a position where senior engineers are trusted to lead design packages, stay involved through construction, and be recognised for the quality of their judgement.

You will take carriage of mid- to large-scale building projects, remaining closely involved from concept through to construction-stage problem-solving. The role balances hands-on technical work with mentoring and coordination, making it ideal for someone who enjoys responsibility without being removed from engineering.

Design exp includes:

• Structural design of complex, design-focused buildings
• End-to-end involvement from concept design through construction support
• Regular interaction with site teams to resolve real engineering issues
• Coordination with architects, services engineers, builders, and clients
• Contribution to technically challenging, architecturally ambitious projects

Be trusted with:

• Leading structural design packages and technical direction
• Maintaining design quality through delivery, not just documentation
• Mentoring and developing junior engineers within the team
• Helping maintain steady coordination across disciplines

You're a strong fit if:

• You have 5+ years’ experience in local building design
• Your background is firmly within a structural design consultancy
• You are comfortable using tools such as ETABS, RAPT, RAM Concept, SpaceGass, or Microstran
• You communicate clearly, keep work moving, and take responsibility for outcomes
• You enjoy technical problem-solving and supporting others’ development

Why this team:

• Projects are architecturally significant and technically non-trivial
• Career progression is genuine and not constrained by rigid hierarchy
• Senior engineers have direct access to principals and technical leaders
• Ongoing technical development is embedded, not tokenistic
• The culture is social, supportive, and collaborative, with low ego and high trust

This role suits a senior engineer who wants their work to be visible, respected, and influential, and who sees value in staying close to both design intent and delivery.

If you are looking for a role where your contribution genuinely matters - and where further opportunities may follow - a confidential discussion is encouraged.
