Our Team
We invest in our people.
At Kor Structural, we don’t aim to the biggest in our field – we aim to be the best by attracting and retaining first class talent and being a centre of excellence for structural engineering.
Kor is a dynamic team of highly experienced professionals and skilled young talent. Now 40-plus people strong, with expertise in multiple sectors including engineering, drafting, construction oversight, IT, operations and specializations such as Seismic Engineering, the company is continuing to grow.

One of the reasons we wanted to move away from the traditional ‘names on the door’ was to reflect the collaborative team-based culture of the company.
Naturally, seniority has an important role to play, but we wanted to create a more dynamic structure, with the opportunity for our highly competent and qualified younger professionals to play a more influential role within the organisation. We are a meritocracy.
– John Markulin, Managing Principal
