JOB DESCRIPTION

Role Summary:

We are seeking a Structural Engineer with a strong foundation in structural/civil engineering and capability in parametric design, automation, and AI-driven workflows to join a growing structural and civil engineering consultancy. This is a hybrid role sitting at the intersection of structural engineering and technology - helping the team build, implement, and maintain automated workflows that streamline how structural project data moves through the business. The ideal candidate has a genuine structural engineering foundation, foundational coding ability, and is excited to shape how AI and automation get applied to real engineering projects.


Working Location: Home-based setup (Remote, Vietnam)

Work Schedule: Standard business hours (AEST)


Key Responsibilities:

  • Support structural engineers in parametric modelling and computational design using tools such as Grasshopper, Dynamo, or similar
  • Collaborate on scripts and internal tools (Python, C#, JavaScript, or similar) that help engineers develop structural designs more quickly and consistently
  • Structure and manage engineering data (loads, materials, sections, calculations) within parametric workflows to ensure consistency, traceability, and reusability
  • Map, refine, and document engineering workflows, identifying opportunities for automation and quality control
  • Set up systems so incoming structural project data is captured, transformed, and routed correctly into internal tools and calculation workflows
  • Assist in the development and integration of AI tools that support structural engineering workflows (e.g., data intake, preliminary design checks, documentation)
  • Provide day-to-day support to engineers using these workflows, troubleshooting issues and improving reliability
  • Assist with early-stage project correspondence and information gathering, helping standardise and partially automate initial structural data capture
  • Collaborate with structural engineering, operations, and leadership to translate engineering needs into technical automation solutions
  • Contribute to documentation and training materials so engineers can effectively use new tools and workflows


Must-Have:

  • Degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering (structural emphasis), or closely related field
  • 3-5+ years of relevant experience
  • Foundational coding/scripting skills (Python, C#, JavaScript, or similar)
  • Ability to communicate with structural engineers and translate workflows into automation

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience in building, infrastructure, or AEC environments
  • Familiarity with parametric/computational design tools (Grasshopper, Dynamo, or similar)
  • Experience building internal tools or scripts for structural teams
  • Experience with AI tools/platforms (LLMs, APIs, related frameworks)
  • Background structuring and managing engineering data (models, load cases, parameters, calculations)
