About The Role You'll support the consistent and timely delivery of foundations engineering services through technical review and certification, complex design, project oversight, client support and supervision of engineers and inspectors.

• Provide clear and responsive technical advice to clients, builders and internal teams
• Support complex queries, inspections and construction-stage issues
• Supervise and mentor engineers, designers, draftspersons and inspectors
• Contribute to technical standards, quality systems and process improvements
• Help reduce repeat rework, avoidable delays, at-fault amendments and customer complaints

What We're Looking For

• Current RPEQ registration and Chartered status
• At least five years' demonstrated RPEQ signing or supervising experience
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline
• Strong residential foundations experience, including footing and slab systems, reactive or difficult soil conditions and screw piling
• Sound knowledge of relevant Australian Standards, the NCC and legislative requirements
• Strong engineering judgement and the ability to develop practical, proportionate and buildable solutions
• Confidence dealing with builders, designers, architects, certifiers, developers and clients
• Demonstrated experience mentoring or training technical staff
• An accountable, responsive and collaborative approach, with a willingness to work within established quality systems and workflows
