Established in 1976, Northrop is a locally-owned engineering consultancy with nine offices and over 500 people across NSW, ACT, QLD and VIC. Highly experienced in Civil, Structural, Building Services, and Sustainability. We also have extensive expertise in emerging and niche engineering services including Acoustics, Remedial and Façade. We customise our service offerings to work standalone or come together as a successful multidisciplinary team. At Northrop, we believe that by developing our people to their full potential, building longstanding client relationships and through our determination to make every project a success, we help our clients realise their potential.

At Northrop, our culture is something we're really proud of. We’re inclusive and we’re diverse. We want everyone who joins us to fulfil their potential, and we help, guide and sometimes push each other to achieve exactly that. We’ve got each other’s backs, and everyone is comfortable and happy being themselves. Northrop is a home for high performers, but there’s no pretence and little politics. We engage with each other and do great work together.
The business is owned by our senior people, who work among us and set the tone for our open and nurturing culture. Being employee-owned means we decide what is important, which markets to work in, who to work with, what opportunities to harness, and which risks to take. It’s all on us. When we succeed, we benefit – not some investor sitting on a beach. We’ve got skin in the game and we care deeply.

At Northrop, we want you to take your career wherever you want it to go, and for us, that means seizing every day – and every opportunity – with enthusiasm and passion.
