Brisbane CBD | Full-Time | Civil Infrastructure | Roads | Water Management | Earthworks

JBU Group is a Brisbane-based engineering and design consultancy delivering practical, high-quality civil solutions across mining, infrastructure and industrial projects throughout Queensland and Australia. We're growing, and we're looking for a Senior Civil Engineer who wants more than a narrow technical role, someone ready to lead project work, mentor others and help shape a young, ambitious consultancy. Unlike larger firms, your work here won't disappear into layers of corporate structure: you'll have visibility across projects, direct access to directors, and real influence over technical standards and client outcomes.

• Mining and industrial infrastructure projects across Queensland and Australia.

• Roads, haul roads, intersections and site access infrastructure.

Technical delivery

• Lead civil design packages from concept and feasibility through to detailed design and construction support.

• Prepare, review and coordinate designs, calculations, reports and technical documentation.

• Apply Australian Standards, Austroads guidance and Queensland/local authority requirements.

• Embed Safety in Design and constructability into every stage of delivery.

Coordination & leadership

• Manage technical scope, budgets and programme commitments for assigned packages.

• Coordinate deliverables with designers, engineers, project managers and external consultants.

• Mentor engineers and designers through review, guidance and mark-ups.

• Contribute to bids, proposals and client relationships that drive repeat work.

About You

You're a practical, commercially aware civil engineer who enjoys solving real project problems. You take ownership of your work, communicate clearly, and want your contribution to be visible and valued in a growing consultancy.
