About the company

This is an opportunity to join a respected multidisciplinary consultancy with a growing Queensland presence and a strong pipeline of civil engineering work.

This role is ideal for a strong Senior Civil Engineer ready to step into a Principal Civil Engineer position, or an existing Principal Engineer seeking more influence, flexibility and future growth.

You will lead civil engineering projects, manage and maintain clients, mentor engineers and help grow the local project pipeline across Queensland.

Projects include small to large built environment works across council, residential, commercial, land development and civil infrastructure sectors.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Lead civil engineering design and project delivery
  • Manage council, residential, commercial and built environment projects
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships
  • Mentor engineers and support team development
  • Project manage work from planning through to construction
  • Support business development and new project opportunities

Requirements for this role:

  • Experience with council, residential or commercial projects
  • Strong client-facing and project management skills
  • Ability to mentor engineers and work collaboratively
  • Queensland project experience or strong local networks
  • RPEQ preferred, but not essential
This is a genuine step-up opportunity for a Senior Civil Engineer who wants more responsibility, more client exposure and a pathway into Principal Civil Engineer leadership, without sacrificing flexibility or work-life balance.
