Introduction

We're seeking an accomplished Associate Director to join our Melbourne Structural team. This pivotal role will act as a key link between our Melbourne and Canberra offices, providing essential support to the Director and helping to share the leadership load across both teams. 

The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise in structural engineering, particularly in concrete design, with additional experience in steel structures highly regarded. You'll have a proven ability to manage high-rise building projects, work directly with clients, and drive project delivery from concept to completion.

This role is well-suited to a technically capable engineer who thrives in project leadership and client-facing responsibilities. It's a chance to step into a senior role with impact, influence, and the opportunity to shape the success of major projects across our offices.



Description

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Associate Director to join our Structural team in Melbourne. This key position will act as the liaison between our Melbourne and Canberra offices, providing vital support to the Director and taking on leadership responsibilities across both teams. While based in Melbourne, the role will require time in Canberra to strengthen collaboration and ensure project delivery.

As an Associate Director, you'll bring at least 10 years' structural engineering experience, ideally within a consulting environment, and a proven track record of leading teams. You'll apply your technical expertise, particularly in concrete design (with steel design experience highly regarded), to deliver high-rise and complex building projects from concept through to completion.

In this role, you will:

  • Deliver practical, economical, and innovative engineering solutions across a variety of projects

  • Lead and manage medium to large-scale projects, including pricing, tender submissions, project scheduling, resourcing, and budget oversight

  • Produce and review designs, specifications, technical documentation, reports, and fee proposals

  • Build and maintain strong client relationships while driving business opportunities

  • Guide and mentor colleagues, sharing knowledge and encouraging best practice

  • Support the Director in the financial, technical, and contractual management of projects

About you:

  • 10+ years' structural engineering experience, preferably in a consulting environment

  • Strong technical capability in concrete design; steel design experience desirable

  • Proven experience leading and managing a team

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent, with CPEng accreditation

  • Thorough understanding of the BCA and relevant Australian Standards

Why TTW?

At TTW, we value more than just technical expertise. You'll benefit from flexible working arrangements, a strong focus on work-life balance, wellbeing initiatives, and tailored professional development opportunities.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and individuals from all backgrounds.
