Structural Engineering Manager:
Associate / Principal/ Branch Manager
North Sydney | Structural Engineering Consultancy | Leadership + Hands-On Design
- This is a genuine opportunity for an experienced Structural Engineer who wants more than simply managing projects.
- We are seeking a senior structural professional to take responsibility for a well-established consultancy's North Sydney operation – managing the team, overseeing projects and deliverables, maintaining strong client relationships and helping drive the continued growth and profitability of the office.
- This is very much a hands-on leadership position. You will still be technically involved in structural design and project delivery, while taking broader responsibility for the performance of the team and the business.
The Role
You will effectively take ownership of the North Sydney structural operation, with responsibilities including:
- Leading, managing and mentoring the structural engineering team
- Remaining hands-on with structural analysis, design and technical problem solving
- Managing projects from concept and design through documentation and construction
- Allocating resources and ensuring project deadlines and deliverables are achieved
- Reviewing designs and maintaining a high standard of technical output
- Building and maintaining relationships with architects, builders, developers and other consultants
- Attending client, design and construction meetings and confidently representing the consultancy
- Assisting with proposals, fees, business development and winning new work
- Monitoring project performance, utilisation and commercial outcomes
- Helping grow the North Sydney business into an increasingly profitable operation
Your Background
- You will ideally be a Principal, Associate, Associate Director or Engineering Manager with strong Australian structural consultancy experience who is ready to take ownership of an office and team.
- Technically, you should have broad building structures experience across reinforced concrete and structural steel, with sound knowledge of structural analysis and design.
- Experience with ETABS, SpaceGass and RAPT would be highly regarded. Exposure to post-tensioned concrete would also be advantageous, although specialist PT design capability is not essential.
- Most importantly, you need to be more than a strong designer. We are looking for somebody who can lead people, manage clients, control projects and understand the commercial side of running a successful consulting engineering team.
Why Consider It?
This is an opportunity to step into a position with genuine responsibility and autonomy. You will have the backing of an established engineering consultancy while being given the opportunity to take ownership of its North Sydney operation.
For somebody currently operating at Principal or Associate level who feels ready to run their own team and business unit, this could be a particularly strong career move.
