Job description

At Civil Sciences and Engineering (CSE), we’re more than an engineering consultancy, we’re a small but ambitious team, building something unique in Western Australia. Founded by a graduate engineer and a guru with 50+ years of experience, we’ve grown quickly by being adaptable, curious, and client focused.

We’re not the kind of company where everything is already set in stone. Instead, we’re constantly refining, improving, and looking for better ways to serve our clients. That means every team member has a chance to shape how we do things. If you value culture, collaboration, and innovation as much as technical excellence, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Role

We are seeking a Civil Designer with expertise in Autodesk Civil 3D to join our design team. In this role, you will undertake the preparation of detailed civil designs and documentation for road, drainage, and land development projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and reviewing drawings, design outputs, and technical documentation.
• Collaborating closely with engineers to deliver accurate and cost-effective design solutions.
• Mentoring and supporting junior drafters and designers in best practices.
• Ensuring designs align with Australian standards, MRWA requirements, and client specifications.

About You

To excel in this role, you will bring:

• Proven experience as a Civil Designer, with expertise in Autodesk Civil 3D.
• Demonstrated experience in road, drainage, and/or subdivision design.
• Sound knowledge of relevant Austroads and MRWA standards.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to deliver quality outputs under deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.

What We Offer

• A leadership-level design role within a growing consultancy.
• Opportunities to work on diverse and impactful civil infrastructure projects.
• A supportive, collaborative, and forward-thinking team environment.
• Competitive remuneration and career growth opportunities.

Eligibility & Location

• Applicants must have demonstrated work experience within Australia (experience in Western Australia will be highly regarded).
• Only candidates with current Australian working rights will be considered. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time.
• Relocation assistance is not available for this role. Preference will be given to applicants already based in Western Australia.

• Flexible working arrangements
• Office located in Leederville, WA
• Competitive Salary based on experience
