The Role A fast-growing residential construction company based in South East Queensland is seeking an experienced RPEQ Structural Engineer to join their in-house team. The business operates a proprietary panelised concrete building system and is on a clear growth trajectory toward delivering 500 homes per year.

• Liaise with site supervisors, certifiers, and external consultants
• Build internal engineering capability and documentation
• Develop standard design libraries and pre-engineered solutions
• Establish QA and documentation systems
• Integrate engineering processes into internal workflows and software
