We're a growing team of 11 structural engineers and we're looking for talented people to join us. If you want to work with capable technology, interesting projects, and a team that genuinely cares about quality — keep reading.
We've spent a decade building something unusual: an engineering firm that combines structural expertise with in-house technology, a great culture, and consistent year-on-year growth. Here's what that means for you.
Work with custom engineering software developed in-house — designed to eliminate tedious manual work and let you focus on actual engineering. It's a genuine point of difference for the team.
You'll work across residential, commercial, and industrial projects — sheds, patios, framing, footings, and certification — across every Australian state. No two days are the same.
We've grown from one to eleven engineers in a decade — and we're not slowing down. As the company grows, career progression opportunities are genuine and frequent. We promote from within.
We're a team of eleven who actually enjoy working together. We take the engineering seriously and the workplace culture even more so — collaborative, supportive, and not hierarchical.
We want the best engineers in Australia to want to work here. These are the things we offer to make Upright a place worth building a career.
Remuneration commensurate with experience, with regular review as your skills and seniority grow within the firm.
Based at our Wayville office in Adelaide's inner suburbs. Flexible working arrangements considered for the right candidate.
Access to our proprietary engineering platform — built specifically for structural work — plus industry-standard analysis and design software.
Support for continuing professional education, Engineers Australia membership, and progression towards Chartered Engineer status.
Work across a genuinely broad range of project types and clients — residential, commercial, industrial, and manufacturing — building a well-rounded skill set.
Ten years of consistent, uninterrupted growth. As a company we've increased our capacity by growing our team to keep up with the unprecedented increase in demand.
We are currently recruiting for one position. Applications are open now and we are actively reviewing candidates.
Upright Engineering is growing and we're looking for an experienced structural engineer to join our Adelaide team.

You'll work across a broad range of structural engineering projects — from residential shed and outbuilding certification to commercial framing design and other structures — using our custom-built engineering platform.
We're a team that works closely together, communicates openly, and cares about quality. If you're looking for a place where your engineering work is valued and your career can genuinely progress — this is it.
