Blacktown City Council is looking for two experienced Civil Engineers to help maintain and improve the infrastructure used by one of Australia's fastest-growing communities.
Working within Council's Civil Asset Maintenance team, you will manage maintenance, renewal and minor capital works across the road reserve. This includes roads, drainage, footpaths, kerb and gutter, pedestrian crossings, traffic facilities, bus stops and other public infrastructure.
You will have the autonomy to manage your own workload, develop practical solutions and see
the results of your work across the city.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Senior Coordinator Civil Asset Maintenance and Administration, you will:
plan and coordinate civil maintenance, renewal and minor capital works
investigate infrastructure defects, customer requests and civil applications
undertake site inspections and develop practical engineering solutions
prepare project estimates, works programs, technical reports and recommendations
manage contractors and monitor project cost, quality, safety and delivery
supervise an Overseer responsible for coordinating and inspecting works onsite
review completed works and ensure they meet Council specifications and relevant standards
liaise with residents, Councillors, public authorities and internal stakeholders
contribute ideas that improve processes, service delivery and community outcomes.
The team works across several civil infrastructure streams, including roads, concrete assets, drainage and applications. Over time, you will gain exposure to different areas of the operation, building broader experience and supporting your future career progression.
About you
You are a practical and proactive Civil Engineer who takes ownership of your work. You can identify a problem,



investigate the cause and recommend a considered solution rather than waiting to be told what to do next.
You will bring:

sound technical knowledge of roads and civil infrastructure
experience managing contractors, works programs and project quality

strong time management and the ability to balance field, project and administrative responsibilities
a positive, customer-focused approach when working with residents and stakeholders
knowledge of relevant legislation, standards and workplace safety requirements
a current Class C driver licence.
Previous local government experience is advantageous but not essential. Candidates from councils, civil contractors, consultancies and other infrastructure organisations are encouraged to apply.

The positions offer:
permanent, full time employment with one of Australia's largest councils
