Why You Will Be Excited About This Role

Imagine leading high-profile development projects that shape Queensland's most prestigious communities while building a pathway to partnership and equity.

You'll step into a leadership position where your expertise directly influences the design and delivery of landmark developments that transform the region.
In this role, you'll mentor talented professionals, forge relationships with blue-chip clients, and help steer a 40-year legacy of excellence into its next chapter.

This isn't just a senior position—it's an opportunity to become a future owner in one of Queensland's most established and respected development consultancies.

In the first 12 months you will

  • Take ownership of major, long-term development projects from concept through to completion
  • Build your reputation by working directly with Queensland's premier developers on high-profile projects
  • Develop your leadership capabilities by managing and mentoring a cohesive team of professionals
  • Position yourself for future equity partnership and directorship opportunities

Why You Will Like Working Here

Unlike the "soulless cubicle farms" of larger firms, you'll join a tight-knit, family-style environment where your contributions are truly valued. A 40+ year history and strong relationships with top-tier developers mean you'll enjoy unparalleled project security and quality work.

You'll experience genuine work-life balance within a highly profitable business that shares its success through bonus payments and future equity opportunities. A collaborative culture means you'll never be "just a number"—you'll be a valued leader in a team that stays together for years.

  • Genuine work-life balance with flexible hybrid arrangements
  • Modern, centrally-located offices
  • Collaborative, family-style culture with a focus on quality and innovation
  • Profit-sharing bonus structure with clear pathway to equity partnership
  • Secure pipeline of work with established, loyal clients (not tender-dependent)

What You Will Be Working On

You'll lead significant development projects that shape Queensland's most liveable communities. Instead of competing for tender work, you'll manage established client relationships and oversee projects from concept to completion.

Your role extends beyond technical engineering—you'll have direct client contact, providing elegant solutions to meet the needs of even the most discerning developers. You'll influence standards and systems within the business while managing a team that consistently exceeds client expectations.

As a senior engineer, you'll:

  • Oversee civil design for premier development projects across Queensland
  • Build and maintain relationships with blue-chip development clients
  • Provide technical leadership and quality assurance on complex engineering solutions
  • Mentor and develop your team's capabilities and professional growth
  • Contribute to the strategic direction and standards of the business

What Type Of Person Will Be Successful

We're looking for more than just technical expertise—we need a future leader who combines engineering excellence with relationship-building skills and business acumen. You're someone who values quality design, thrives in a collaborative environment, and aspires to business ownership.

  • Tertiary qualifications in Civil Engineering with 5+ years experience in the land development sector
  • Proficiency with design and engineering software
  • Strong communication skills with the confidence to liaise directly with high-profile clients
  • Experience managing and motivating engineering teams highly regarded
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in business leadership
