Ready for a Change?
Tired of rigid corporate structures? Here's your chance to escape the grind and join a growing boutique practice where your ideas matter, your time is respected, and your work makes a direct impact.
Who We Are
Kendall Consulting Engineers is not your average consultancy. We're a boutique structural engineering practice with a hands-on, practical approach to delivering high-quality outcomes across high-end residential, remedial, industrial, and small commercial projects.
After more than a decade in the industry, our founder set out 18 months ago to build something different, something better. A consultancy that values freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment as much as technical excellence.
We're a tight-knit team of three:
* A senior structural engineer (founder)
* A talented Revit technician based in Brisbane
* An experienced admin manager keeping operations smooth
Our culture is grounded in trust, flexibility, and fairness. We keep things lean, nimble, and personal.
What We Offer
* True flexibility – Enjoy flexible arrangements that fit your lifestyle, with genuine time off when you need it. We believe balance drives productivity.
* Diverse, interesting projects – From heritage remediation to bespoke residential builds and larger scale commercial work. You'll never be bored, and you'll have input into the kinds of projects we take on.
* Performance bonuses – Transparent, performance-based bonuses directly tied to the profit you help generate.
* Growth & mentorship – Learn the ropes of running a business directly from the founder. Get involved in strategy, operations, client management—beyond just design.
* A real voice in the business – Help shape not just projects, but the future of the company. Your input and initiative will be welcomed.
Who We're Looking For
* A degree-qualified structural engineer with ideally 5+ years of local experience.
* Strong technical and design skills, with a practical, solutions-based mindset.
* Clear and confident communicator—comfortable building strong relationships with clients, discussing fees openly, and producing clear, well-structured reports.
* Comfortable running jobs independently from concept to construction.
* Hands-on experience or a trade background is highly regarded.
* Ambitious, reliable, and ready to step out of the corporate box.
We're open to candidates with slightly less technical experience if they bring strong on-site or trade knowledge and the right attitude to grow with the role.
