Location: Brisbane
Company: Premium Tier Luxury Developer-Builder
Project: Career-defining, skyline-altering residential/mixed-use tower ($400M+)
Remuneration: Highly competitive package + performance bonuses
The Opportunity
Some engineers manage projects; a select few reshape skylines.
If you are tired of cookie-cutter developments and are looking for a project that will define your career—and the Brisbane skyline—this is it. We are a premier, design-focused luxury developer-builder with an uncompromising commitment to architectural excellence.
My client is currently constructing a iconic high-rise tower in the heart of Brisbane. This project demands precision, high-end finishes, complex structural engineering, and a sharp eye for detail. To help lead the charge, we are looking for a powerhouse Senior Project Engineer who thrives on complexity and takes immense pride in their work.
The Role
Reporting directly to the Project Manager, you will be the engine room of the site. You will bridge the gap between design and delivery, ensuring that structural integrity meets luxury aesthetics flawlessly.
Your key responsibilities will include:
Structural & Finishes Execution: Oversee the delivery of complex structural cycles (formwork, post-tensioning, core structures) through to the meticulous execution of premium, high-end internal finishes.
Subcontractor Management: Lead, mentor, and manage Tier-1 subcontractors, ensuring safety, quality, and program milestones are strictly met.
Design Coordination: Work closely with the in-house design team and external consultants to resolve RFIs, variations, and constructability issues before they hit the deck.
Financial Control: Manage project procurement, letting of major packages, variations, and progress claims while tracking against the budget.
Programming & Scheduling: Maintain and update the look-ahead programs, identifying critical path risks and driving the site team to hit targets.
About You
You aren’t just looking for another job; you’re looking for a legacy project. You understand that luxury building requires a different level of finesse and an absolute refusal to cut corners.
To succeed in this role, you will bring:
A Bachelor’s Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
Minimum 5–7+ years of experience working with a reputable Tier 1 or Tier 2 builder in Australia.
A proven track record on high-rise residential or commercial towers ($100M+ value essential).
Strong technical knowledge of concrete structures, post-tensioning, and premium finishes.
Exceptional communication skills—you can hold your own in a boardroom with developers and on-site with formworkers.
A proactive, solution-oriented mindset (you bring solutions, not just problems).
What’s on Offer?
We look after our people the same way we look after our clients—with premium care.
The Portfolio: A true flagship project to stamp your name on ahead of Brisbane’s upcoming global spotlight.
The Culture: A collaborative, driven team environment where excellence is celebrated and office politics are left at the door.
Financial Reward: A highly competitive salary package tailored to your experience, alongside clear pathways to Project Management.
Stability: A rock-solid pipeline of high-end developments across South East Queensland.
