Are you a Principal or Senior Engineer ready to lead a passionate team, deliver meaningful infrastructure projects, and leave a lasting impact on WA’s built environment?

We’re growing, and so is our Perth Engineering & Professional Services Team. We’re looking for a Discipline Manager – Structures & Buildings who’s excited to guide and grow a talented team, engage in hands-on technical leadership, and contribute to projects that span the defence, buildings, industrial, transport and civil infrastructure sectors, as well as increasing KBRs presence in the WA buildings market.

You’ll be at the heart of a high-performing, collaborative team, mentoring future leaders, shaping technical excellence, and directly influencing outcomes across iconic projects. As both a people and technical leader, you’ll be empowered to:

  • Lead a high-performing team with a focus on safety, wellbeing, collaboration, and impact.

  • Create a positive and thriving culture through meaningful work and tailored development pathways.

  • Influence the future of our business through strategic workforce planning, business improvement, and client-facing work.

  • Bring people together—you’ll shape a team culture where everyone feels they belong and can thrive by driving team engagement, career growth and capability development.

  • Deliver technically excellent designs and guide project teams through all phases—from concept to delivery.

  • Engage with clients and stakeholders to develop tailored solutions, prepare proposals and support business growth.

  • Managing project budgets, team resources, and ensuring the highest standard of delivery.

Skills & Experience Required:

  • A degree in Structural Engineering, or a Building Services Engineering discipline. Postgraduate qualifications are highly regarded.

  • 15+ years of consulting/design experience.

  • A collaborative approach to leadership and problem-solving.

  • Chartered Engineer (CPEng) status (or ability to attain within 6 months).

  • Proven experience managing teams and delivering complex projects.

  • Technical expertise in buildings and infrastructure, complemented by a well-connected business network in WA to help strengthen and grow our local capability.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to mentor and inspire others.

Why join KBR:

Our KBR Values - We Value Our People, We Deliver, We Are People of Integrity, We Empower, We Are a Team of Teams – these values embody our people centric organisation.

At KBR, we don’t just talk about culture—we live it.

  • Connect with diverse thinkers and passionate collaborators across our Australian and global teams.

  • Belong to a workplace where your voice matters, and your impact is valued.

  • Grow your career with ongoing opportunities to lead, learn, and push boundaries.

What We Offer:

  • A supportive team where leadership is human, not hierarchical.

  • Flexible work options that suit your lifestyle.

  • Meaningful, high-impact projects across a variety of sectors.

  • Leadership and technical development programs to support your growth.
