Job description

Start your engineering career where your work actually gets built. This Graduate Civil Engineer role offers real exposure across design, site, and client-facing work, giving you the chance to see projects through from concept to delivery. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values practical thinking, accountability and steady professional growth.

About the role

This is a hands-on position where no two weeks look exactly the same. You’ll support senior engineers and project managers while gradually taking ownership of your own workstreams.

Your day-to-day will include helping prepare engineering reports, proposals and impact assessments, while also getting out on site to assist with inspections and monitor project progress. You’ll contribute to design work and calculations, support contract documentation, and help track project deliverables to make sure timelines and standards are met.

You’ll also be involved in liaising with clients, contractors and local authorities, giving you early exposure to stakeholder management and how projects are delivered in practice.

What we’re looking for

Must have:

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering
• Valid working rights in Australia (no sponsorship available)
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with clients and colleagues
• Good time management and the ability to juggle multiple tasks
• Attention to detail and a willingness to take ownership of your work
• your availability to work in Rockhampton.

Nice to have:

• Experience using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, 12D, PC Sewer/Drain or similar software
• Some practical exposure through internships, placements or part-time roles
• A master’s in engineering completed in Australia
• Membership or progress toward membership Engineers Australia

This role will suit someone who is curious, practical, and willing to learn on the job rather than expecting to stay behind a desk.

The environment and team

You’ll be joining a close-knit team that works across both office and field environments. The culture is collaborative and grounded, where graduates are trusted with real responsibility but supported by experienced engineers and project managers.

Expect a mix of office-based work and site visits, sometimes in varied or remote environments, so flexibility and a hands-on mindset are important.

• Genuine hands-on experience across design, reporting and site work
• Exposure to a variety of civil projects and clients
• A team that supports your development without micromanaging
• Clear expectations and the opportunity to build strong technical foundations
• Stability and consistent workflow within a growing regional operation
• Study Assistance available for further development
• Additional day of leave on your birthday
• Annual wellness subsidy to use towards healthy lifestyle initiatives
• Grow our team with our generous referral bonus

This is a solid opportunity if you're looking to build practical engineering experience and develop into a well-rounded consultant.
