Job Description

Open to various levels of experience, Project Manager or Senior Engineer. Work on iconic projects and develop your career within a highly skilled team.

Our Brisbane team is working on small, medium and large projects across a range of sectors, including projects in Defence and DFAT. You will scope and steer civil works from concept through detailed design and construction support, coordinate inputs from roads, drainage, utilities and pavements, and bring a pragmatic eye for buildability, safety and whole‑of‑life performance. You’ll be a trusted advisor to clients and partners—facilitating workshops, de‑risking decisions, and shaping clear, compliant deliverables—while mentoring our emerging engineers and championing digital design and quality standards.

If you enjoy variety, accountability and the chance to move between city‑shaping transport, nation‑critical defence, and low‑carbon infrastructure, this role offers real impact and a platform to grow your leadership.
