You're an experienced civil engineer looking to take the next step in your career. You will lead project teams, taking ownership of the technical delivery of civil projects across built form, road infrastructure, high-density precinct development, and public domain works.
This role is based at our Newcastle office.
What You'll Own
As a Civil Engineer, you will be joining a professional and collaborative team of engineers, designers, drafters, graduates and undergraduates, working on a diverse range of projects across the built environment.

You will act as a mentor to emerging engineers contributing to their technical development and continued growth of the civil section.
You will be part of a growing office with a great culture, including regular team catch-ups, office events and social activities.
