Job description

Looking for senior‑level responsibility without city gridlock? This Senior Civil Engineer role in Dubbo offers genuine project ownership, leadership influence, and the chance to build a balanced regional lifestyle without stepping back technically or commercially.

About the Role:

This is a hands‑on senior position combining civil design, project management and team leadership. We’re looking for a well-rounded engineer who can manage projects from feasibility through to delivery, staying close to technical outcomes while also overseeing program, budget and client expectations.

You’ll work directly with clients, coordinate internal and external resources and ensure projects are delivered to a high standard. A key part of the role is mentoring engineers and drafts people, reviewing work, and helping build a capable and confident team. You’ll also contribute to business development through client relationships and proposals.

This role will allow you to undertake technical design, oversee the technical work of others and to also manage projects and clients.

What we are looking for:

• Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering
• Around 8+ years’ experience in civil design and project management (10+ years preferred) within an engineering consulting environment
• Strong knowledge of Australian standards and approvals
• Strong engineering design skills including 12d Model, Watercom Drains, AutoCad and similar industry standard design software packages;
• Confidence managing projects, budgets and client relationships
• A practical, leadership‑minded approach
• Experience with urban development and road infrastructure.

The Environment and Team

You’ll join a multidisciplinary consultancy with a strong regional presence and long‑standing client relationships. The Dubbo team is collaborative, experienced and delivery‑focused.

Why Join?

Dubbo offers a genuine lifestyle shift. Shorter commutes, affordable housing, strong schools, and easy access to nature, while still working on meaningful and technically solid projects. This role offers autonomy, trust, and long‑term stability, with support for professional development and leadership growth. It suits someone ready to step into a senior role with influence, not just a title.

• Clear pathway to leading your own projects
• Strong mentoring from experienced engineers
• Flexibility to influence the type of work you take on
• Exposure to a variety of civil and multidisciplinary projects
• A team-oriented environment where people support each other
• A workplace that values development, not just output
• Additional leave on your birthday each year
• Annual Wellness Benefit to use towards healthy lifestyle initiatives
• Grow our team with generous referral bonuses
