Core capabilities include pre-contracts and procurement strategy, design and delivery integration, stakeholder management, and commercial oversight.

Engi Advisory is known for navigating complex multi-stakeholder environments, building high-performance teams, and translating design intent into buildable, commercially sound solutions.

The business supports contractors and government agencies seeking clarity, compliance, and commercial success on major infrastructure programs.

• Leading client-side project and program management for TfNSW and other government principals: procurement, contract delivery, project controls, stakeholder management

• A Competitive package
• No layers between you and decisions
• No micromanagement: deliverables and timeframes are agreed, and how you get there is yours
• Direct access to the founder's delivery and tender experience
• Working pattern and location shaped by the project, not by policy
• The opportunity to build a team and a practice from an early stage
• Potential pathway to Head of Client-Side

Qualifications

• 10+ years in civil infrastructure, with significant client-side or PMC experience
• Existing relationships within specific TfNSW divisions
• Hands-on experience in procurement and delivery of government contracts
• A track record of getting deliverables out on time without needing to be managed
• Strong project management and advisory skills, including lifecycle delivery planning, risk mitigation, and governance across complex civil infrastructure projects.
• Experience in pre-contracts and procurement strategy, including scope development, tender evaluation support, and commercial analysis for large infrastructure programs.
• Capabilities in design and delivery integration, with a focus on buildability, regulatory compliance, and coordination in multidisciplinary engineering environments.
• Stakeholder and relationship management skills, including government liaison, client communication, workshop facilitation, and conflict resolution.
• Relevant tertiary qualification in civil engineering, construction management, project management, or a related discipline; postgraduate qualifications are an advantage.
• Demonstrated experience in major civil infrastructure delivery (e.g., transport, utilities, public works) within client-side, or consulting environments.
• Ability to work effectively on-site in the Greater Sydney Area, with strong analytical thinking, problem-solving capacity, and clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Professional certifications (e.g., PMP, chartered engineer status, or similar) and familiarity with government procurement frameworks are highly regarded.
