Senior Structural Engineer


Permanent | North Queensland | Heavy Industry | 


We are seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to join a high-performing design and engineering team supporting large-scale, brownfield operations across multiple industrial sites in regional Queensland.


This role will suit a technically strong engineer who thrives in a practical environment, working with assets that are both ageing and critical to operations. You'll oversee structural integrity, design, and compliance across a portfolio of complex industrial facilities, while mentoring graduate engineers and engaging with external design partners.
The Role

  • Lead design, analysis, and calculations for new and existing structures in compliance with Australian and international standards.
  • Provide technical guidance across engineering teams, ensuring projects meet safety, regulatory, and operational requirements.
  • Oversee structural drawings, specifications, and deliverables for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Manage budgets and timelines for design activities (typically <$1M).
  • Coach and mentor junior engineers, driving high professional standards.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives in engineering processes, systems, and design tools.
About You
  • Degree-qualified in Civil/Structural Engineering.
  • 5-10 years' experience in structural engineering, ideally in heavy industry (manufacturing, processing, mining, or similar).
  • Chartered or RPEQ registration (or close to obtaining).
  • Strong knowledge of Australian Standards, codes, and compliance requirements.
  • Proficiency in structural analysis/design software (SpaceGass, FEA tools, drafting packages).
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Desirable
  • Exposure to project management.
  • Experience in industrial or process-driven industries.
  • Background in brownfield projects with ageing infrastructure.
Why Apply?
  • Regional leadership exposure across multiple industrial sites.
  • Career stability in a nationally significant sector.
  • Opportunity to shape and modernise engineering practices.
  • Mentor and lead the next generation of engineers.
If you're looking for a role with technical depth, variety, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact in a complex heavy industry environment, we'd like to hear from you.
