How long should you wait for the next step?

Recognition should reflect your contribution, rather than simply your years of service.

Are you an experienced Senior Civil Engineer looking for a genuine opportunity to progress into an Associate-level position within the next 12-18 months?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established national engineering consultancy with a strong reputation, continued growth and an expanding portfolio of land development and urban infrastructure projects.

The consultancy is looking for more than simply another technically capable Civil Engineer. They want someone with the communication skills, client relationships and leadership potential to become an important part of the future management team.

The Opportunity

You will be involved in a diverse range of greenfield and urban development projects, with responsibilities including:

• Managing civil engineering design and delivery across residential subdivisions and urban development projects.
• Leading projects involving roads, drainage, earthworks, stormwater and associated civil infrastructure.
• Coordinating design teams and mentoring developing engineers and designers.
• Managing project programmes, resources, documentation and deliverables.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with developers, clients, councils and relevant authorities.
• Providing technical guidance and ensuring projects are delivered to a high professional standard.
• Contributing to a positive, collaborative and successful team environment.

Ideally, you will bring:

• 6-8+ years of civil engineering experience within an Australian engineering consultancy.
• Strong experience in greenfield subdivisions, land development and urban development.
• Ideally but not a prerequisite, experience with 12D, MUSIC and DRAINS, or comparable civil engineering design software.
• Solid technical understanding of road design, stormwater drainage, earthworks and subdivision infrastructure.
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects and coordinate engineering teams.
• Confidence dealing directly with clients, developers and approval authorities.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a genuine interest in mentoring and developing others.
• The ambition to progress into an Associate-level leadership position.

Why consider this opportunity?

• The consultancy is looking to develop the successful candidate towards Associate level within approximately 12-18 months, subject to performance and capability.
• You will be joining a national organisation with an established history, a growing project portfolio and the resources to support your professional development.
• Just as importantly, the consultancy values people who contribute positively to the working environment. They want someone approachable, enthusiastic and capable of building strong relationships with both colleagues and clients.

This is an opportunity to become an important part of a growing Canberra team rather than simply another engineer delivering projects.

If you're a Senior Civil Engineer who enjoys land development, wants greater responsibility and is ready to take the next step towards Associate, this opportunity deserves a confidential conversation.
