Senior Civil Engineer - Land Development & Urban Renewal
Darwin | Design Consultancy | Greenfield & Brownfield Projects

This is not a volume-driven, infrastructure-heavy environment.

This is subdivision and urban renewal design within a structured engineering consultancy - where your judgement, not bureaucracy, drives delivery.

We are representing a well-established consultancy with a consistent Northern Territory pipeline across residential subdivisions, mixed-use developments and urban renewal precincts.

Responsibilities

• Leading civil design across land development and infill renewal projects
• Managing roads, drainage, stormwater, earthworks and servicing strategies
• Coordinating approvals with local authorities and key stakeholders
• Working closely with 12D designers and junior engineers to deliver high-quality documentation
• Owning projects from concept through detailed design and approval

Why This Role is Appealing

Real Project Ownership

You are not a number in a mega-infrastructure division. You see your projects built.

Clear Technical Authority

You influence design direction rather than just follow standards written elsewhere.

Balanced Workload

Sustainable delivery expectations — not endless transport megaproject deadlines.

Consultancy Environment

Pure design focus. Not construction site-heavy. Not developer-side commercial pressure.

Leadership Pathway

Opportunity to step into Associate-level influence for the right person.

Darwin Lifestyle Advantage

Shorter commutes. Real impact in a growing market. Strong visibility with clients and councils.

Looking For

• 5-10+ years’ experience in civil engineering within a design consultancy
• Strong land development background (greenfield subdivisions and/or urban renewal)
• Experience delivering civil documentation aligned with Australian standards
• Confidence across drainage, roads, earthworks and servicing design
• Experience working with 12D designers and multidisciplinary teams
• Stable consultancy-based career history

Not Suited To

• Engineers working primarily in large-scale transport, rail or highway infrastructure
• Construction contractor or site-supervision-based roles
• Developer-side project management without detailed design responsibility

If you are a Senior Civil Engineer who enjoys technical leadership, tangible projects and genuine influence - this is not just another role.

YOU MUST HAVE CURRENT/RECENT AUSTRALIAN/NZ EXPERIENCE WITHIN A LOCAL CONSULTANCY TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS ROLE. THANK YOU
