Our client is a well established and regarded engineering consultancy, recognised for delivering high-quality development, residential and commercial projects across the east coast. With a strong existing stream of work and continued growth, they are seeking a Senior Civil Engineer to join their Brisbane team in a design management and project leadership capacity.
This role is ideal for an engineer who has progressed beyond purely hands-on design and is now focused on overseeing civil design delivery, coordinating teams, and ensuring high-quality outcomes across urban development projects.
The Role
As a Senior Civil Engineer, you will play a key role in the management and delivery of civil design packages across a range of urban development projects, including residential subdivisions, commercial developments, and industrial estates.
You will be involved across the full project life cycle, from concept through to detailed design and construction documentation review, with a strong emphasis on coordinating and guiding design teams. As the senior engineer, you will ensure design outputs are delivered to a high standard, aligned with project requirements, and compliant with relevant Australian Standards and local council guidelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate the delivery of civil design packages for urban development projects

- Assist with tender submissions, proposals, and fee estimates
- Mentor and support graduate engineers, designers, and junior staff
- Maintain strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders
- Ensure all designs comply with Australian Standards and relevant council requirements
You are a technically strong civil engineer who has transitioned into, or is ready to transition into, a design management and delivery-focused role. You understand civil design principles in detail but are now more focused on coordination, oversight, and project leadership.
What the role requires:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering
- 6–12 years of consultancy experience
- Strong background in urban development, subdivision, and drainage projects
- Experience overseeing design delivery teams working in 12d
