An established leader in process cooling solutions and mechanical services is seeking a Structural Engineer to join their expanding team. With consistent growth and a reputation for delivering innovative, bespoke solutions, this role offers the chance to work on a wide range of projects across power generation, petrochemical, resource and sugar industries throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Why this role is different
This is not a standard structural engineering role. Every project is bespoke, with national reach, and you will be mentored directly by the Technical Director, a Chartered Structural Engineer and respected industry leader. That means genuine exposure to complex design challenges and the ability to rapidly accelerate your career. You’ll be given both the responsibility and the support to grow, building hands-on experience that will fast track your development into a senior engineer.
About the role
You will join a multi-disciplinary engineering team and be based in the newly constructed Yatala head office and fabrication facility. This position blends design with site-based activities, including travel to carry out asset inspections, ensuring variety and career-shaping experiences. From new builds to refurbishment projects, you will be directly involved in delivering tailored engineering solutions that improve asset performance and reliability.
Your scope will include:
- Designing and delivering detailed structural engineering solutions for new and refurbished cooling tower projects
- Conducting site inspections across Australia, providing technical reporting and recommendations
- Supporting multiple projects concurrently and collaborating with project managers, designers and construction teams
- Managing project delivery in line with scope, budget and schedule
- Preparing proposals and contributing to tender submissions
- Coordinating with mechanical and piping design teams for seamless integration
- Ensuring quality and compliance with relevant codes and standards
About you
- Minimum 5 years’ structural engineering experience, ideally within harsh or industrial environments
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
- Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) and/or RPEQ, or working towards registration
Strong knowledge of Australian standards (AS/NZS 1170, 1664, 4100) * Experience in on-site inspections and reporting on repair or upgrade recommendations
Knowledge of mechanical and piping design interfaces * Skilled in project management, prioritisation and working across teams
Robust communication and reporting skills, with attention to detail * Experience with Inventor or similar design software desirable
- Must hold Australian residency or valid working rights
- Willingness to travel for national site inspections
What’s on offer
This is a career defining opportunity for a Structural Engineer who is ready to take the next step. You will be mentored by an industry leader, gain exposure to highly specialised projects, and enjoy a balance of office and site work across Australia. With every project being bespoke, you’ll rapidly develop your technical expertise, consulting ability and leadership skills.
