At Agilitus, we’re not your typical engineering and design consultancy, we’re a people‑first community built on collaboration, shared values, and a genuine no‑blame culture. We believe the best solutions come from working together (and having fun while we do it!).

We offer three career paths, technical, project, and people leadership, so you can grow in the direction that suits you best. Progression here is based on ability and attitude, not years of experience.

The Opportunity

As a Principal Structural Engineer, you will drive engineering excellence by fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. You’ll provide technical leadership across complex projects, guiding engineers and solving both technical and non-technical challenges.

• Tertiary qualification in Engineering (Structural), Chartered Status with Engineer’s Australia (Desirable)
• Coordinate resources across projects and support lead engineers in the delegation of tasks and duties to other team members.
• Review designs submitted by leaders and provided design guides and technical expertise if applicable.

You’ll be part of an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace with access to flexible work arrangements, personalised development plans, and wellbeing support. We offer competitive remuneration with incentives and paid overtime, generous primary and secondary parental leave, paid professional memberships, and mentoring from industry‑leading technical experts. We’re also proud partners of Engineers Australia, providing a supported pathway for engineers to achieve chartered status.
