Upon successful project award, there will be an opportunity to transition into a project-based Engineering Manager role, leading engineering delivery on major civil infrastructure projects in either metropolitan or regional locations.

• Partner with estimating and commercial teams to develop competitive and deliverable bid submissions.
• Assess technical risks and opportunities throughout bid development and project planning.
• Review design documentation and provide strategic engineering advice during tender stages.
• Participate in client presentations, workshops and tender interviews.
• Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary pursuit teams.
• Transition into project delivery leadership following successful project award.
• Lead engineering governance, design management and project engineering teams during delivery phases.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering.
• RPEQ, CPEng or equivalent professional accreditation.
• 15+ years' experience delivering major civil infrastructure projects.
• Strong expertise in constructability, temporary works, staging and project engineering leadership.
• Experience contributing to major tenders and project pursuits.
• Strong understanding of road, bridge, transport and civil infrastructure delivery.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong commercial acumen and understanding of project delivery risks.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
