Structural Engineer – Shape the Future of a Boutique Engineering Practice

Location: Canberra-based

Type: Full-time

Experience: 5+ years preferred (open to less with practical experience)

Start Date: Flexible

Ready for a Change?

Tired of rigid corporate structures? Here's your chance to escape the grind and join a growing boutique practice where your ideas matter, your time is respected, and your work makes a direct impact.

Who We Are

Kendall Consulting Engineers is not your average consultancy. We're a boutique structural engineering practice with a hands-on, practical approach to delivering high-quality outcomes across high-end residential, remedial, industrial, and small commercial projects.

After more than a decade in the industry, our founder set out 18 months ago to build something different, something better. A consultancy that values freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment as much as technical excellence.

We're a tight-knit team of three:

  • A senior structural engineer (founder)
  • A talented Revit technician based in Brisbane
  • An experienced admin manager keeping operations smooth

Our culture is grounded in trust, flexibility, and fairness. We keep things lean, nimble, and personal.

What We Offer

  • True flexibility – Enjoy flexible arrangements that fit your lifestyle, with genuine time off when you need it. We believe balance drives productivity.
  • Diverse, interesting projects – From heritage remediation to bespoke residential builds and larger scale commercial work. You'll never be bored, and you'll have input into the kinds of projects we take on.
  • Performance bonuses – Transparent, performance-based bonuses directly tied to the profit you help generate.
  • Growth & mentorship – Learn the ropes of running a business directly from the founder. Get involved in strategy, operations, client management—beyond just design.
  • A real voice in the business – Help shape not just projects, but the future of the company. Your input and initiative will be welcomed.

Who We're Looking For

  • A degree-qualified structural engineer with ideally 5+ years of local experience.
  • Strong technical and design skills, with a practical, solutions-based mindset.
  • Clear and confident communicator—comfortable building strong relationships with clients, discussing fees openly, and producing clear, well-structured reports.
  • Comfortable running jobs independently from concept to construction.
  • Hands-on experience or a trade background is highly regarded.
  • Ambitious, reliable, and ready to step out of the corporate box.

We're open to candidates with slightly less technical experience if they bring strong on-site or trade knowledge and the right attitude to grow with the role.
