- South Brisbane * Land Development * Equity & Shareholding Opportunity
- Work closer to home. Lead a successful civil engineering team. Build your future as a Director and shareholder.
- Great salary $180-160k depending on experience
An exceptional opportunity has emerged with a highly profitable and progressive civil engineering consultancy based in Brisbane's southern suburbs.
This is a business that has established an excellent reputation across residential subdivisions and major land development projects, with an impressive pipeline of work ranging from smaller 50-lot developments through to substantial 1,000-lot residential communities.
With multiple projects running simultaneously and continued demand for its services, the consultancy is now seeking an ambitious Senior Civil Engineer with the leadership ability, commercial awareness and drive to become a future Director and shareholder.
This is not simply another Senior Civil Engineering position. It is an opportunity to become part of the future ownership and leadership of an already successful business.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Future Director and shareholder – A genuine opportunity to progress into business leadership and potential equity participation.
- Established team of 16 – Take a leading role in motivating, mentoring and developing a capable team of civil engineers and designers.
- Strong profitability – Join a commercially successful consultancy with established clients, healthy project margins and a strong pipeline of work.
- Major land development projects – Deliver residential subdivisions ranging from approximately 50 to 1,000 lots.
- Project ownership – Oversee multiple projects, manage resources, maintain budgets and ensure successful delivery.
- Client relationships – Work directly with developers, local authorities and industry stakeholders, strengthening existing relationships and developing new business.
- Hands-on leadership – Remain involved in engineering design and technical decisions while guiding the broader team.
- Work closer to home – South Brisbane location without the daily commute into the CBD.
What We're Looking For
Ideally, you will be an experienced Senior Civil Engineer with a strong background in Queensland land development and residential subdivisions.
Your technical capabilities should include:
- Strong 12D design experience across roads, earthworks and subdivision infrastructure.
- Experience with DRAINS and MUSIC for stormwater management and drainage design.
- Proven experience delivering residential subdivision and urban development projects.
- Ability to manage multiple projects, competing deadlines and project budgets.
- Strong leadership skills with the confidence to guide, motivate and develop engineers and designers.
- Excellent communication, client management and commercial skills.
- An understanding of project profitability, resource allocation and business development.
The Career Opportunity
- We are looking for more than a technically capable engineer.
- We want someone who can lead people, inspire confidence, build lasting client relationships and contribute to the continued profitability and expansion of the consultancy.
- You may already be a Senior Civil Engineer or Associate looking for the opportunity to move beyond project delivery and become genuinely involved in the direction and ownership of a business.
- The attraction here is straightforward: an established, profitable consultancy, a strong team, substantial projects and the opportunity to build long-term financial value through future shareholding.
- Why spend years waiting for a leadership opportunity when you could be positioning yourself for Directorship and business ownership?
