Why You Will Be Excited About This Role
Transform your engineering career by joining a team where technical excellence isn't just valued—it's the foundation of their 33-year success story. As a Principal Civil Engineer, you'll solve complex problems for high-profile clients while working alongside a team of specialists who are passionate about innovative design solutions.

You'll be empowered to make meaningful decisions on significant projects, developing solutions that leave a lasting positive legacy across Australia and beyond. This is a hands-on leadership role where your technical expertise will directly influence project outcomes and mentor the next generation of engineering talent.

  • Lead challenging multi-disciplinary projects that demand creative problem-solving and technical innovation
  • Develop your client management skills with a portfolio of loyal clients who value engineering excellence
  • Grow professionally in a culture that encourages knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving
  • Build your leadership capabilities while contributing to a business with a national and international footprint

Why You Will Like Working Here
You'll thrive in a technically excellent team. Unlike many firms where senior talent is spread thin, here you'll work alongside experienced peers who share your passion for engineering challenges and can provide valuable perspectives on complex problems.
When you encounter unusual technical problems, you won't face them alone—they're discussed freely in an office culture that combines focused hard work with genuine camaraderie. The team's success is your success, with regular profit sharing that recognises your contributions to the company's growth.

  • Flexible, supportive environment where everyone has a voice and ideas are valued
  • Regular social activities including morning teas, pub lunches, and end-of-month celebrations
  • Access to advanced software and technical resources to support your work
  • Be part of a profitable business that shares success through regular profit distribution

What You Will Be Working On
Take ownership of complex civil engineering projects from proposal to completion. You'll apply your technical expertise to solve challenging problems while nurturing client relationships that are built on trust and excellent outcomes.

You'll lead detailed designs that demand innovative thinking, mentor younger engineers to develop their capabilities, and represent a brand known for technical superiority. With a high percentage of senior engineers on the team, you'll focus on the most challenging aspects of projects rather than routine tasks.

What Type Of Person Will Be Successful
You're an experienced civil engineer who thrives when tackling complex technical challenges and takes pride in finding elegant solutions to difficult problems. Beyond technical skills, you're someone who builds strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

  • Engineering qualification with demonstrated experience in civil engineering design for urban development or infrastructure projects in SEQ
  • Proven ability to operate at a high level of technical skill while managing client relationships
  • Self-motivated with the ability to take initiative and make sound decisions independently
  • Experience mentoring less experienced engineers and contributing to proposal development
