2-year Experienced Structural Design Engineer

Palantir Consulting | Sydney, NSW

At Palantir Consulting, career progression is not something that simply happens with time.

We are looking for a Structural Engineer who naturally embraces challenges, is well organised, takes ownership of their development, and is willing to put in the hard work required to continuously improve their capability.

If you are looking for automatic or “natural” career progression based primarily on years of experience, this may not be the right environment for you.

If you want to become a genuinely strong structural engineer and are prepared to challenge yourself to get there, we want to hear from you.

Join Palantir Consulting and work alongside experienced engineers on challenging structural projects across NSW.

You will have the opportunity to develop deep technical capability in the design and modelling of mid to high-rise buildings, concrete structures and post-tensioned structures, while receiving direct guidance from our senior engineering team, Partners and Founder.

We provide significant flexibility and autonomy, but with that autonomy comes responsibility, accountability and a high standard of performance.

Palantir Consulting is not simply a place to progress your career. It is an environment designed to help ambitious engineers accelerate it.

• Structural design and modelling of mid to high-rise buildings in NSW

• Reinforced concrete and post-tensioned concrete structures

• Multi-storey residential developments

• Industrial and warehouse structures

• Structural analysis, calculations and engineering documentation

• Developing practical and buildable engineering solutions

• Working closely with senior engineers on technically challenging projects

• Continuously improving your engineering judgement, modelling capability and design efficiency

We are looking for candidates with:

• Full Australian working rights

• A recognised Structural or Civil Engineering degree

• 2+ years of Australian structural consulting or design experience

• Experience with multi-storey residential, commercial, industrial or warehouse projects

• Exposure to post-tensioned concrete design

• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability

• A solid understanding of Australian Standards and structural engineering practice

• Experience with relevant engineering software such as RAM Concept, SpaceGass, Microstran, RAPT, WALLAP, ETABS, RCB and Revit

You do not need to be an expert in every software package listed above. Strong fundamentals, learning ability and engineering judgement are more important.

You are someone who:

• Enjoys solving difficult engineering problems

• Wants to continuously improve your structural analysis, calculation and modelling skills

• Takes pride in becoming technically excellent

• Is organised and manages your time well

• Can manage multiple priorities and projects

• Communicates clearly with colleagues, clients and other consultants

• Takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do

• Is curious and enjoys learning

• Responds well to feedback

• Has a genuine growth mindset

• Is comfortable being challenged

• Wants responsibility and autonomy

• Is willing to work hard when the situation requires it

Most importantly, you have the ambition to become significantly better at what you do.

In return, Palantir Consulting will invest heavily in your development.

You will receive:

• Comprehensive technical training and mentorship

• A structured pathway toward senior leadership and potential partnership

• Direct guidance from our Founder, Partners and senior engineering team

• Training in the design of multi-storey concrete structures

• Advanced exposure to post-tensioned structural design

• Challenging projects designed to expand your technical capability

• A collaborative, ambitious and high-performance culture

• Significant flexibility in working hours and location

• Relocation assistance for suitable interstate candidates

• Salary commensurate with your capability and experience

• Strong career development opportunities

• Additional company benefits and perks

We believe flexibility should come with trust, and trust comes with accountability.

You will have considerable freedom in how you work, provided you consistently deliver quality outcomes for your team, our clients and our projects.

Position available immediately.

The recruitment process will generally involve 2 to 3 interview rounds over approximately 1 to 2 weeks.

The process is designed to understand not only your technical experience, but also how you think, learn, solve problems and respond to challenges.
