Job description

Senior Civil Designer | Urban Projects | Sydney CBD 12d Model and Civil 3D | $100k–$150k negotiable
I’m recruiting for a large international multidisciplinary consultancy with an established Sydney CBD team and ambitious growth plans. Its urban civil group is looking for an experienced Civil Designer who can take ownership of design packages and work confidently across both 12d Model and Autodesk Civil 3D.

You’ll join a sizeable team of civil engineers, designers and drafters with a genuinely collaborative culture. The work spans buildings-related civil design, urban developments and public domain projects, with opportunities to work alongside structural and other specialist teams. It’s a good time to join if you enjoy hands‑on design and want a say in how a growing team delivers its work.

The role

• Develop civil designs and 3D models from concept through detailed design and construction documentation.
• Design site grading and earthworks, stormwater drainage, access roads, car parks and pavements.
• Take ownership of civil design packages, coordinating with engineers, architects, surveyors and other disciplines to resolve design interfaces and level constraints.
• Review models and drawings for consistency and buildability, and support responses to design comments and construction queries.
• Share your modelling and documentation experience with other designers and drafters.

What you’ll bring

• Around 8–15 years’ civil design experience as a guide, with a track record delivering urban or buildings-related civil projects in Australia.
• Strong hands‑on 12d Model skills, ideally backed by practical project delivery experience in Civil 3D. The preference is for someone who can pick up live design work in either platform.
• Experience taking designs from early layouts through to coordinated, construction‑ready documentation.
• A working knowledge of relevant Australian Standards and local council requirements.
• Clear communication skills and full Australian working rights.

What’s on offer

• $100k–$150k, negotiable based on experience
• Flexible work arrangements on offer
• Varied Sydney urban projects and the technical support of a large multidisciplinary team.
• Scope to take on more design leadership as the civil group grows.
