Job description

CIVIL ENGINEER / SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER - BRISBANE

• Large-Scale Land Development
• Join an enthusiastic team of 16 engineers and designers
• Great salary to $170k depending on experience

Are you a hands‑on Civil Engineer who knows how to get the job done without someone looking over your shoulder?

An established and growing civil engineering consultancy, strategically located South Brisbane is seeking an experienced 5+ years Civil Engineer / Senior Civil Engineer to join its team.

This is an opportunity to work on substantial greenfield residential developments, with projects involving approximately 700+ residential lots, offering genuine technical variety and the opportunity to take ownership of your work.

The consultancy has a close-knit team of approximately 16 professionals and is looking for someone who enjoys being involved in the actual engineering and design, rather than simply managing projects.

Looking for:

• Approximately 5+ years' experience in civil engineering, ideally within a Queensland land development consultancy.
• Strong hands‑on experience in greenfield residential subdivisions and urban development.
• Demonstrated ability to independently undertake earthworks, bulk earthworks, site grading and road design.
• Practical experience in stormwater drainage, civil infrastructure and services coordination.
• Proficiency in 12D Model or Civil 3D, with experience in DRAINS, PC DRAINS and MUSIC highly regarded.
• Understanding of Queensland council requirements, development approvals and relevant Australian Standards.
• Ability to take projects from concept through detailed design and documentation with minimal supervision.

Why consider this opportunity?

The attraction here is the scale and variety of the projects. Rather than working on small, repetitive subdivisions, you'll be involved in major residential developments with interesting engineering challenges across roads, earthworks, drainage and stormwater management.

• Substantial greenfield developments, often involving hundreds of residential lots.
• The freedom to take responsibility for your own engineering and design work.
• A smaller, collaborative consultancy where your contribution makes a difference.
• Direct involvement in technically challenging projects.
• A competitive salary package of up to $170,000 + superannuation, depending on experience and capability.
• A convenient location for engineers living in South Brisbane, Logan or the northern Gold Coast, avoiding the daily commute into Brisbane CBD.

While five or more years' experience is preferred, demonstrated technical ability and independence are more important than the number of years on your CV.

If you're a capable Civil Engineer who enjoys design, understands land development and can deliver quality work with minimal supervision, this could be an excellent next move.

Note: Only Australian / New Zealand applicants with local experience are encouraged to apply.
