Recruitment In The Structural Engineering Industry

There is more than $242 billion dollars worth of public infrastructure work planned over 2025-2030 in Australia. Civil, structural, geotechnical, and transport engineering together make up the largest share of engineering vacancies in the country at 39.7% (Engineers Australia). As construction and infrastructure investment continues, demand for skilled structural engineers continues to grow.

Ignite is at the forefront of the structural engineering recruitment sector; recruiting for major building and infrastructure work in transport corridors, renewable energy and grid expansion, and the increasing demand for residential and commercial structures.

 
For Employers:

Structural roles are difficult to screen for without knowing the work. Candidates need the right design software, a solid grasp of Australian standards, and often chartered status. The priorities shift depending on whether the role is design, drafting, or site-based. Many of our recruiters come from engineering backgrounds and assess that technical detail directly. We fill permanent, contract, and temporary roles across the discipline, and reach strong structural candidates before they hit the open market.

Zarina was incredibly helpful. Having never worked through the process to transit someone from an agency contract to a permanent organisational contract I was a bit lost but Zarina explained all the steps and what was needed of me. Thanks.
