About Brisbane Civil

Brisbane Civil is an ISO-accredited civil contractor based in Loganholme and the flagship business of the Doughty Group. We tender across residential, commercial, and industrial subdivisions, commercial civil packages, Local Government, and TMR projects across South East Queensland and are actively expanding further. Our standard scope includes bulk earthworks, roadworks, stormwater, & utilities, with added bonus of an In-House retaining walls business arm.

Where we stand out is our genuine self-perform capability. Along with Retaining Walls Australia and PTH Low Loaders owned and operated under the Doughty Group we are supported by over 200 pieces of our own equipment and in-house pipe and pit layers. We also have an in-house Business Development Manager generating fresh leads and chasing down tender feedback, so your hard work pricing jobs doesn't disappear into a black hole.

Why This Role Is Different

We care about whether you can price civil work accurately and fit in with a straight-talking team.

- If are experienced in one area of civil works, want to expand your capabilities, or if you want to go the other way and hone in on a specific area, we are interested in hearing what you can offer.
- Whether you can pull a tender together and want further mentorship from senior delivery staff, or you are a seasoned estimator who can run complex bids solo from day one, we can shape the role around your current level.




- Price with internal equipment, floats, retaining wall crews, pipe, and pit layers.
- Dedicated BDM Support. Our in-house Business Development Manager brings in quality opportunities and actively follows up submitted tenders, keeping our pipeline full and giving you real visibility on where our prices sit.
- Centrally located in Loganholme, we care about hitting bid deadlines, flexible hours and hybrid options around tender schedules available for the right fit.
- Access to supporting software such as Agtek and RapidPlan for 3D take offs and detailed methodologies.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will have direct access to the director, BDM, construction and project managers, Retaining Walls Australia, and PTH all under the same roof.
