Established in 1994, Magryn & Associates is a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy based in Somerton Park, Adelaide. We work across structural, coastal, maritime and forensic engineering for clients ranging from individual homeowners to local and state government.
Our team is known for thoroughness, practical advice and a genuine commitment to our clients. We work across residential, strata and commercial properties throughout metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia.
The Opportunity
This is a varied role for a structural engineer who enjoys problem‐solving and wants to do more than run calculations at a desk.
You will spend most of your time on building investigation work: getting out to sites, figuring out why things have gone wrong, and writing clear reports that help clients understand what they're dealing with and what to do about it. The rest of your time will be on structural design.
No two days look the same. One day you might be trying to diagnose cracking in a 19th century bungalow; the next you're reviewing design drawings or preparing a framing layout. If that kind of variety appeals to you, this role is worth a serious look.
We are open to candidates at different stages of their career. If you are a few years in and interested in developing investigation skills alongside your structural work, we will support that. If you are more experienced and ready to step into a senior position with a clear path to leading the team, that option is also on the table.
What You'll Be Doing
* Contribute to structural design work across the broader practice
* Conduct forensic inspections of residential, strata and commercial buildings, investigating cracking, settlement, heave, leaks, waterproofing failures, roof defects and builder's defects
* Determine probable causes of building problems through site investigation, soil analysis, floor level surveys, reinforcement scanning, aerial photography review and other diagnostic methods
* Design and specify remedial works such as underpinning layouts, stormwater upgrades and crack repair, and inspect works during construction
About You
* Bachelor of Engineering (Civil or Structural) from an Australian‐accredited university, or equivalent
* At least 2 years' post‐graduate experience in civil or structural engineering
* Sound understanding of Australian Standards and common construction methods
* Confident communicator, able to explain engineering issues clearly to clients, lawyers and non‐technical audiences
* Curiosity and attention to detail, particularly when diagnosing problems in existing buildings
* Australian driver's licence and working rights
* Experience with forensic inspection, building defect investigation or remedial design
* Familiarity with Adelaide's geology, soil types and local building stock (solid masonry, brick veneer, strip footings, raft slabs)
* Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status, or working towards it
* Experience with underpinning design or specification (concrete piers, chemical injection, screw piles)
What We Offer
* Varied work combining structural design and building investigation, with no two days the same
* A supportive team environment with mentoring from experienced principals
* Clear pathway to senior engineer and team leadership for the right candidate
* Supported pathway to CPEng status through our partnership with Engineers Australia
* Competitive salary commensurate with experience
* Flexible working arrangements
* Exposure to broader practice areas
* A well‐established consultancy with over 30 years of history and a strong reputation in the Adelaide market
