Job Description
A stormwater model someone else scoped. A drainage design that lands on your desk half-built, gets signed off by someone senior, and leaves your name on none of it. You push the same file around and wonder when you actually get to run something.
n
Here, you run the job.
n
This is a broad civil design role inside a well-established consultancy - residential subdivision, sitting between the design team and the directors.
n
You pick up a project and take it front to back. The work itself is worth mentioning: brownfield infill, the complex one-into-twenty sites with real constraints, the kind that require actual thinking.
n
Not greenfield master planning on a template someone else built five years ago.
n
It's also a remarkably settled place to work. The average tenure across the firm is 13 years. Nobody has done unpaid overtime in years - and on the rare occasion it does happen, it gets paid.
n
The group carries $25m and runs its own development pipeline, so while you've watched other consultancies go quiet or fold, this one hasn't.
n
You'd report directly to a lead engineer who still teaches.
n
If RPEQ is on your radar, it's supported. One more thing worth saying:



the engineering team here runs ***** male and female - which in this industry you genuinely don't see often.
n
What's in it for you
n
A fully maintained dual-cab ute - fuel, tolls, the lot. At roughly $100 a week in M1 tolls alone, that's real money, not a rounding error. Take it as the vehicle or fold it into salary, around $25k of value either way.
n
Free on-site parking in Darra (and the same again if the office shifts to Indooroopilly). And genuine flexibility once you've shown you deliver - school-run hours, a day or two from home, part time arrangements.
n
These aren't lines in a job ad. They've actually been used here.
n
The directors also think commercially. When you win work, it gets noticed - and they'll have the conversation about what that's worth.
n
A couple of honest filters
n
They run 12d. Not occasionally, not 'we're open to other tools' - 12d, that's it. If you're committed to something else, this isn't the right fit.
n
And this is a small firm. That means breadth, ownership, and no large machine behind you. If you're running away from somewhere rather than running toward this kind of setup, you'll know within a month.
