About Keller Australia

We are Australia's leader in geotechnical solutions and proud to be one of the globally connected companies of Keller, the world's largest geotechnical engineering contractor. We have delivered industry-leading foundations and ground improvement solutions to the building, construction, and mining industries in Australia for over 60 years.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Piling Designer to join our team, with a strong passion for delivering design work from the contractor's side rather than traditional consultancy.

This is a unique opportunity for a geotechnical or strong structural engineer who has an interest in geotechnical design, someone who thrives in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment and wants to become a leading expert in piling and ground improvement design.

Experience working on the contractor side of design will be highly regarded, particularly where it involves managing competing deadlines, solving real-time design issues, and ensuring practical constructability.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead or support the design of piling systems, foundations, and basements on complex ground conditions
  • Produce and check geotechnical and structural calculations using industry-standard software such as PLAXIS and WALLAP
  • Design and review retention and basement structures
  • Collaborate with construction and delivery teams to ensure practical and efficient design outcomes
  • Contribute to design methodology, innovation, and continuous improvement within the team

About you

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in piling, geotechnical, or foundation design
  • Strong geotechnical and structural engineering background
  • Experience using PLAXIS, WALLAP, and other relevant design software
  • Demonstrated experience designing basement structures and retention systems
  • Proven experience delivering design work on the contracting side – with strong time management and real-world problem-solving skills
  • Passion for constructability, practical design outcomes, and contractor-focused delivery
  • A team player with the ambition to grow into a specialist in ground improvement and piling design
  • Willingness to support estimating activities and assist in writing proposals

Desirable traits

  • Curious, solutions-driven mindset
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Eager to take ownership and continuously develop expertise in design and delivery

Why work with us

  • Flexible working environment (including work from home 1 day per week)
  • A commitment to learning and development, with access to global expertise
  • Collaborative and supportive team culture
  • Opportunity to contribute directly to sustainable construction practices
  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • Above-industry paid parental leave
  • Fair employment practices and a focus on internal progression
  • Mentorship and career development programs

We are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining the right people who are highly competent, live our values, and actively contribute to our long-term success.
