We are seeking a Senior Design Engineer to lead civil design delivery on urban land development and infrastructure projects across Sydney. You will own design quality, program and stakeholder interface from concept through construction-ready documentation.

Prepare design packages for council and service authority approval
Interface regularly with clients, councils, service authorities and other consultants




Apply Australian Standards, council design standards and service authority construction standards
Embed safety in design practices throughout the design process
Mentor junior staff and support coordination across disciplines as required

About you
6+ years’ civil design experience
Tertiary qualification in civil engineering or equivalent
Proven experience on urban land development and civil infrastructure projects
Proficient in 12D and AutoCAD

Positive understanding of service authority design approval and construction standards
Sound interpersonal and communication skills, including client-facing liaison
