🏢 Leading Multidisciplinary Consulting Firm (Employee-Owned)
The Opportunity
An established, highly respected multidisciplinary consulting firm is looking to add a Structural Engineer to its growing team.
This is a standout opportunity to join a business that combines the technical strength and project scale of a large consultancy with the collaborative, people-first environment of a mid-sized firm.
The role offers strong exposure, genuine responsibility, and the chance to work on diverse, meaningful projects that directly impact communities.
About the Company
This firm is a long-standing provider of integrated services across structural engineering, architecture, environmental consulting, and construction management.
What differentiates them in the market is their fully in-house, multidisciplinary model, allowing engineers to collaborate closely with architects and other disciplines throughout the full project lifecycle.
As an employee-owned organisation, they place a strong emphasis on:
- Long-term career development
- Shared success and accountability
- Collaborative project delivery
Why This Role Stands Out
This opportunity offers several advantages over more traditional engineering roles:
- Diverse Project Portfolio - Work across commercial, industrial, municipal, and institutional sectors
- Early Responsibility - Engineers are trusted with client exposure and project involvement from an early stage
- Collaborative Culture - Strong integration across disciplines, not siloed teams
- Supportive Environment - Accessible leadership and mentoring from experienced engineers
- Clear Progression Pathways - Backed by structured development and employee ownership
This is an environment designed to help you become a well-rounded, technically strong engineer.
The Role
You'll join an established structural team delivering a range of building and infrastructure projects.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and analysing structures using steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, and timber
- Producing calculations, drawings, and technical specifications
- Collaborating with internal architectural and engineering teams
- Attending client meetings and contributing to project discussions
- Supporting delivery from concept through construction
- Conducting site visits and field assessments
Depending on experience, there is also scope to:
- Lead smaller projects or workstreams
- Mentor junior engineers
- Contribute to proposals and business development
What They're Looking For
- Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
- Experience in structural design (flexible level - mid to senior considered)
- Working knowledge of relevant design codes (IBC, AISC, ACI, ASCE)
- Experience with structural design software (e.g. RISA, RAM, Revit beneficial)
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach
- Professional Engineer (PE) licence or working toward it
What's on Offer
- Competitive base salary
- Employee ownership / profit-sharing scheme
- Comprehensive healthcare benefits
- 401(k) with company contribution
- Ongoing training and professional development support
- Flexible working culture and generous PTO
The Bottom Line
This is an excellent opportunity for a Structural Engineer looking to:
✅ Gain exposure to a wide variety of projects
✅ Work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment
✅ Accelerate their technical and professional development
✅ Be part of a business where they have a genuine stake in success
