Job description

Marvel Engineers is an established engineering consultancy delivering civil infrastructure projects across Queensland, from major road and transport programs through to smaller, specialist engineering assignments.

What sets Marvel Engineers apart is the opportunity to work on technically interesting projects without the layers often found in larger consultancies. Engineers work directly with clients and senior leaders, decisions are made quickly and individual contributions are genuinely valued.

The business has built an environment around trust, technical excellence and practical engineering outcomes. Experienced people are encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas and develop broader capability rather than becoming confined to one project or discipline.

The opportunity

For an experienced Civil Engineer who enjoys their work but wants greater influence over their career, this opportunity offers something different.

You will have the opportunity to take ownership of diverse civil infrastructure projects across Queensland, from major road and transport programs through to smaller specialist assignments where your technical judgement and contribution can make a real difference.

Rather than spending several years focused on one component of a major project, you will gain exposure to different engineering challenges, work directly with clients and have genuine accountability for delivering practical outcomes.

Working closely with the leadership team, you will have visibility across design, programme, quality, risk and client expectations, with the autonomy to make decisions and influence how projects are delivered.

As your career progresses, there is also the opportunity to broaden your involvement in client relationships, bids, business development and the future direction of the consultancy.

Marvel Engineers is open to an established Senior Civil Engineer or a capable Civil Engineer ready to take the next step. What matters most is your technical credibility, commercial judgement and willingness to take ownership.

Benefits and working arrangements

This is a permanent Brisbane based opportunity offering genuine flexibility, including hybrid working arrangements and a practical approach to balancing professional and personal commitments.

You will work directly with senior leadership in an environment where your contribution is visible, your judgement is trusted and you have the freedom to manage your projects without unnecessary layers of approval.

Importantly, Marvel Engineers offers a clear pathway towards Principal, with opportunities to develop beyond technical delivery into client leadership, commercial influence and broader business growth.

For someone looking for long term career progression without sacrificing flexibility or project variety, this is a compelling opportunity.

A bit about you

You enjoy being trusted to take ownership of your work and the outcomes you deliver.

You are technically capable, commercially aware and understand that successful engineering is about more than producing a good design.

You consider constructability, programme, risk and client expectations when making decisions.

You enjoy working directly with clients, collaborating with designers and other disciplines, and finding practical solutions to complex engineering challenges.

You are equally comfortable contributing to major transport infrastructure projects and taking responsibility for smaller assignments where your individual expertise can have a significant impact.

Most importantly, you are motivated by continuing to grow. You want greater responsibility, broader exposure and the opportunity to build your career towards Principal within a business that will recognise your contribution.

Desired skills and experience

You will be a qualified Civil Engineer with a strong background in civil infrastructure design and delivery, ideally across roads and transport projects.

Experience with TMR projects and Queensland road infrastructure requirements will be highly regarded, together with the technical capability to develop practical engineering solutions and confidently manage client and project expectations.

RPEQ registration is preferred, although engineers actively working towards registration are encouraged to apply. Experience with 12d, CAD or Road Safety Auditor accreditation would also be advantageous.

Beyond your technical background, Marvel Engineers is looking for someone who communicates well, exercises sound judgement and takes pride in delivering quality outcomes.

If you are looking for more than another engineering position, this is an opportunity to build something meaningful in your career.

You will have the trust to make decisions, the flexibility to work sustainably and the opportunity to grow your influence within a consultancy where your contribution will genuinely matter.
