• Contribute to project management, coordination and overall delivery outcomes across multiple concurrent projects
• Support construction phase activities including RFIs and technical queries where required

The Responsibilities

• Deliver stormwater management, flood risk and WSUD solutions across urban development projects
• Prepare and review DRAINS and MUSIC models along with associated engineering documentation
• Liaise directly with clients and stakeholders as a key technical contact throughout project delivery
• Coordinate with internal civil, water and multidisciplinary teams to ensure smooth project outcomes

  The Requirements

  • Around 7+ years’ experience within stormwater, flood or urban water engineering within NSW
  • Strong capability in DRAINS and MUSIC modelling, experience with TUFLOW, HEC-RAS or 12d highly regarded
  • Experience operating in a client-facing capacity and managing project communication
  • Knowledge of NSW planning pathways, council requirements and approval processes
  • CPEng or working towards Chartership viewed favourably

  This is your chance to join a growing Sydney team, work on landmark projects, and fast-track your career in a supportive environment that values your input.
