Take Your Engineering Career to the Next Level
If you’ve been delivering projects without the recognition or career progression you deserve, this is your chance to step up.
As a Senior Civil Engineer within a fast-growing consultancy, you’ll play a central role in delivering city-shaping master planned developments for some of Australia’s leading developers. This isn’t just another design role — you’ll take ownership from approvals through to delivery, gain direct client exposure, and earn a seat at the table where real decisions are made.
You'll be backed by a Principal Engineer who values mentorship, autonomy, and growth. You’ll gain the support to step toward the Principal level while still getting hands-on with the technical and commercial aspects of projects that shape Queensland’s future.
Current pipeline includes:
– Multi-stage 2,000 - 8000+ lot subdivisions
– SEQ Urban expansion corridors
– Greenfield and brownfield precincts
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead major subdivision and urban development projects across SEQ — from concept to completion
Manage design coordination, development approvals, and construction contract administration
Work closely with tier 1 developers, councils, consultants, and contractors
Assist with team resourcing and project forecasting, supporting the Principal Engineer
Oversee budgets, risks, and timelines, with end-to-end project accountability
Build and maintain strong client relationships — play a key role in securing repeat business
What You’ll Bring
5–10 years’ experience in land development project delivery
Solid technical foundation in civil engineering with a delivery-focused mindset
Demonstrated success managing subdivision or master planned community projects
Strong communication skills and confidence in client-facing environments
Commercial acumen and sound judgment when navigating project risks
RPEQ status (or working towards) is highly regarded
A collaborative team approach and a drive to mentor and grow with others
Why You’ll Want In
Deliver high-profile projects for Australia’s leading developers
Career progression support to step into a Principal-level role
Full project ownership — not just a technical slice of the pie
Consulting security with a diverse client base and strong national pipeline
Flexible office locations: Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, or Gold Coast
This is more than just another project role — it’s your opportunity to step into the spotlight with the backing of a fast-growing consultancy that’s making waves across SEQ.
Please note: At this stage, we are only considering candidates with local Australian experience. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as this role involves direct interaction with clients, councils, and delivery partners.
