Holistic by Design, innovative by nature

From our inception in 2015, Hera Engineering has been driven by a holistic vision for building design, seamlessly integrating structural, civil, façade, and temporary works engineering. Our philosophy is grounded in providing comprehensive solutions, allowing clients to entrust their entire structural and civil engineering needs to a single, adept entity. The cornerstone of our growth into one of Australia’s most esteemed engineering firms lies in our commitment to value engineering—meticulously crafting designs that minimise costs and streamline project timelines.

Our collaborative approach has been pivotal in erecting some of Australia’s most remarkable structures, including soaring towers that punctuate the skyline. By combining innovative engineering techniques with a rigorous focus on sustainability, we don’t just build structures—we engineer landmarks that embody efficiency and elegance, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to excellence in every blueprint.

Over the past decade, Hera Engineering has experienced significant growth, evolving into a practice with more than 30 team members and three strategically located offices in Perth, Brisbane, and Canberra. This expansion has enabled the firm to make its mark on several landmark projects. Notably, Hera Engineering has contributed to the engineering of THE ONE, an 82-story architectural marvel in Brisbane, and Queen’s Wharf, another significant project in the same city. In Canberra, the firm has played a role in the development of High Society, the tallest tower in the region. Additionally, Hera Engineering’s expertise is evident in the structural design of the Perth Museum in Western Australia, further showcasing the firm’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of engineering.
