Structural Engineering Recruitment

Structural engineers can look forward to diversifying into technical, project, or team leadership within a consultancy setting, transition to a contracting role, or take the bold step into client-side project management or advisory roles. Once certified, they can pursue chartered status at institutions like the Institution of Structural Engineers or similar bodies endorsed by the Engineering Council. Achieving such a status can amplify job opportunities and fuel career growth. Other sought-after accreditations include the NER (National Engineering Register) or field-specific recognitions pertinent to structural engineering.

We possess over 15 years of collective experience in recruiting within Australia's engineering sector. We have built an extensive network and conducted in-depth research for you. Our connections span from boutique Structural design consultancies to national tier 2's and global tier 1 multi-disciplinaries, including subcontractors, builders, developers, and client-side consultancies. When you approach us, we invest time in understanding your career plans, goals, and ambitions. W

e listen to the type of employer you wish to work for, the leader you want to mentor you, and the projects you aspire to work on.

Using our research and industry knowledge, we recommend companies for you to meet with, guide you through the interview process, and negotiate the best possible package. We continue to support you throughout your career, offering advice on how to advance further.

Over 90% of the Structural engineering jobs we place candidates in are 'off-market' positions. Using our market knowledge, we introduce you to potential employers that align with your goals and ambitions, not just active job listings.

No, we also recruit for engineering subcontractors, builders, developers, and client-side consultancies. If you are considering transitioning to another sector of the industry, we can provide guidance and support.

We recruit engineers from junior level to associate, principal, director, and state director levels.

Our clients usually hire graduate engineers directly through graduate schemes and university relationships. However, we are always willing to provide advice, and you can find helpful resources on our hub.

Certainly, we have assisted numerous structural engineers, at various levels, in making the move from overseas, provided they have a valid visa. In some cases, we can assist those needing visa sponsorship before their relocation to Australia.

As a Structural engineer, we recommend working towards attaining NER (National Engineering Registration) and/or CPEng (Chartership), as well as Class 2 Design Practitioner accreditation as a minimum.

Focus on demonstrating confidence and proficiency in client communications, taking the lead on projects, displaying autonomy in day-to-day tasks, actively mentoring and training team members, building your network and client base, and showcasing your value through technical excellence or quality assurance, even if you are not a Business Development professional. Additionally, consider obtaining further accreditations such as Design Practitioner, NER, or CPEng.
