Senior Structural Engineer (with Mass Timber)

For the right candidate this is an amazing opportunity to work with one of Australia’s leading professional engineering firms in an environment which encourages collaboration, communication and innovation.

We are seeking an experienced and passionate professional Senior Structural Engineer to join our growing specialist timber team in our Sydney office to help deliver several upcoming landmark projects. The specialist timber team has a focus on the design and delivery of timber projects within the company but also continues to deliver the steel and concrete components of these projects as well. Mass timber experience is highly desirable and would be looked upon very favourably for the applying candidate. The experience in this field of structural engineering is a niche skill set, but for the right candidate, we will train and help develop abilities in designing for mass timber.

This role provides an exciting and challenging opportunity to enjoy exposure to several iconic and award-winning projects for a role in a team focusing on mass timber structures in both the public and private sectors. Our passion for sustainability has also led us to embrace mass timber as an alternative approach to construction. TTW has the largest portfolio of mass timber projects within Australia, including the landmark 39-storey Atlassian Headquarters in Sydney, which will be the worlds tallest hybrid timber structure when completed in 2024, with the pipeline of projects for the remainder of the year and beyond looking very strong.
