Senior Civil Engineer | Design and Project Lead | Melbourne

- Own your work.
- The team is tight-knit and easy to work with

The role, day to day
You'll design and lead a mix of civil projects, many of them for local councils. Roads, drainage, footpaths, car parks, streetscapes and the occasional curly one that keeps things interesting.
You'll be the engineer and the project lead. That means the calcs and the drawings, plus the client meetings, the programme and the budget. You'll know what a council project manager needs before they ask, because you've been on these jobs before.
There's room to guide junior engineers too. Not a formal management role; more the person they come to when something doesn't add up.

What's in it for you
- A broad, hands-on role.
- Projects you can point to on the drive home
- $110k - $150k p/a plus Super, to suit your experience
A short checklist
- A civil engineering degree
