Senior Forensic / Structural Engineer

Brisbane | Full-time | Morgan Consulting Engineers

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Forensic / Structural Engineer with RPEQ to join Morgan Consulting Engineers in Brisbane.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Civil/Structural Engineer to apply their technical expertise in a different way – investigating structural damage, defects and failures, determining causation and providing clear, evidence-based engineering opinions and solutions

.

You’ll independently manage forensic matters from initial instruction through to site inspection, investigation, technical reporting and structural design working with a range of clients and stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing

• Undertaking site inspections and forensic investigations into structural damage, defects and failures

• Assessing evidence, construction information and site conditions to determine cause and contributing factors

• Preparing clear, technically robust forensic engineering reports

• Providing practical rectification and remediation recommendations where required

• Undertaking Structural analysis of existing and new structures

• Preparing structural designs for remedial works and alterations to existing structures

• Preparing structural design sketches and liaising with our drafting team to prepare high-quality structural design packages.

• Managing matters independently from initial instruction through to completion

• Communicating technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Providing technical guidance and support to less experienced engineers

• Contributing to the continued development of MCE’s forensic engineering capability

About you

You’ll ideally have:

• A degree in Civil and/or Structural Engineering

• Current RPEQ registration in the relevant area of engineering

• Approximately 5+ years’ relevant engineering experience

• Experience in forensic, structural, remedial, diagnostic or building-related engineering

• Strong investigation, analytical and problem-solving skills

• Excellent technical report writing capability

• Strong knowledge of structural engineering principles, construction methods, materials, defects and failure mechanisms

• The ability to confidently manage your own projects and priorities

• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex engineering matters clearly

• A current driver’s licence

Previous forensic engineering experience would be highly regarded, but we’re also interested in hearing from experienced structural or remedial engineers looking to move into forensic engineering

.

Experience preparing expert reports and/or providing expert evidence would also be highly regarded.

Why MCE?

At Morgan Consulting Engineers, you’ll join an established engineering consultancy where you’ll have the autonomy expected of a senior engineer while working as part of a collaborative technical team.

Our company values include Professionalism + Ethics = Excellence, Teamwork, Enjoy What We Do, Right Solution for the Right Job and No BS!

If you’re an experienced RPEQ engineer who enjoys working out why something happened – not just designing what comes next – we’d love to hear from you.
