Most "remote" jobs still tie you to a desk. This one hands you the country.
Work from home full-time, or drop into an office a couple of days a week - your call, not a policy nobody follows. But the real draw isn't where you sit. It's where the work takes you. This is for someone who'd rather be out than stuck at a screen - on the road, on site, actually seeing this country.
There's a nationwide retail portfolio behind a steady stream of inspections, condition assessments and structural audits, so you'll be flying out, climbing through real buildings, and signing off on real risk - not just modelling something you'll never lay eyes on, although that side's there too if you want it.
One week it's a shopping centre interstate, the next a site somewhere you've never been. If site travel sounds like a chore, this isn't the role. If it sounds like the best part of the job, read on.
You're around five years in - you can run a job, work independently, and get to site without someone holding your hand. The work splits across steel and concrete: structural steel on the retail side, post-tensioned slabs and RCC frame on the residential towers, plus building alterations and everything from small fit-outs to early-stage high-rise. So you won't get pigeonholed into one material the way you might at a bigger shop.
The mentoring's real, too. The senior team are 30-to-40-year veterans who'll actually teach you, not just sign off your drawings and move on.
People come through as graduates and stay for the long haul, which tells you most of what you need to know. Around 20 people, family-run, no hierarchy, no micromanagement.
Here's the honest part. This isn't top-of-market pay, and it isn't signature-tower work. There's no office you're forced to clock into, either - though there's one in North Sydney you're welcome to use whenever it suits.
What it is: steady, varied, genuinely interesting work, real learning, and the freedom to base yourself wherever suits your life while getting paid to see the country.
You'll want to be strong in structural steel, with solid RC fundamentals and good Australian Standards knowledge. PT slab design is a bonus.
On software, you'll want either Microstran or SpaceGass for the steel and either Inducta or ETABS for the concrete - anything beyond that (RAM Concept, SkyCiv) is a bonus, not a must. Laptop and gear provided.
