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. The projects we undertake with you come in all sizes across a range of sectors including aged care, health, education, hospitality, land development, commercial, industrial and residential, and we have an exceptional track record of delivering high value, pragmatic and successful solutions.
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.

When you join Northrop, you’ll be given great opportunities, and very quickly you’ll be in front of clients and running projects of your own. You’ll be given the responsibility and freedom to make decisions – and making decisions and getting on with the job is easy here because we don’t have layers of red tape. Of course, while you’ll have responsibility, you’ll also have the guidance and support of talented colleagues and the senior team whenever you need it. 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. And, being an employee-owned company means there’s a clear path to the boardroom and company ownership here – just ask our former CEO, Jamie Shelton. After all, he joined us back in 1988 as a graduate engineer.
