Overview
Trusted for delivery, but never trusted to decide? You’re technically solid. You’ve proved yourself on projects. But you’re still stuck in that middle ground, too experienced to be “junior,” yet not given the chance to step up and show what you can really do.
This role is different. You’ll own projects from the start, trusted to make decisions now, with a clear pathway to team leader.
Maybe you’ve already done the hard yards and are ready to back yourself. Maybe you want that next step, senior engineer, team leader, real influence.
Either way, this could be the role that changes your career path.
Is this you?
- Confident with delivery, able to run projects solo
- Self-motivated – no hand-holding needed
- Hungry for progression – not content to stay “mid-level”
This isn’t just another engineering role. It’s a chance to prove yourself in a small, agile team where your drive, aptitude, and initiative set you apart.
What you’ll get
- Ownership & influence – your projects, your decisions, your impact
- Clear progression to team leader – not a vague promise, but a genuine pathway baked into the role
- 100% flexible setup – remote, hybrid, or in-office, whatever works for you
- Unlimited leave + wellbeing support – actually used, not just offered
- Bonus and shareholding opportunities – your contributions directly rewarded, not overlooked
- Flat structure, zero bureaucracy – minimal middle management, more trust, more autonomy
- Real team spirit – collaborative, face-to-face sincerity, no egos
- Projects that matter – community-shaping developments across QLD/NSW with five decades of proven delivery
- Employee-owned mindset – you’re not just staff; you’re an invested partner shaping outcomes
- Expert collaboration – learn from long-serving professionals while adding your fresh perspective
What you’ll be doing
Based in the Sunshine Coast office, you’ll be a key structural engineer in a close-knit team, autonomous enough to make things happen, but with senior mentorship and group backing when needed.
- Running structural design and project delivery independently
- Liaising directly with clients, contractors, and consultants, no middle layers
- Using your initiative to solve problems, spot opportunities, and improve delivery
- Growing into leadership by mentoring juniors and helping shape the future of the team
This role is for someone who’s outgrown the “safe pair of hands” label and is ready to step up. Your technical ability and independence will make you invaluable now, and your drive will set you up as the next team leader.
