senior design engineer.

Primary Objectives of the Role

As the Senior Design Engineer, you will provide high-level technical expertise and quality assurance to ensure civil infrastructure projects are safe, compliant, and highly constructible. You will lead a small, dedicated design team and coordinate complex design-to-delivery programs from concept through to formal construction handover.

Key Areas of Accountability:

• Team Leadership: Provide technical direction, workload allocation, and structured review/sign-off for a team of two Civil Design Engineers.

• Design & Delivery Assurance: Manage end-to-end design programs (including roads, intersections, drainage, and traffic management systems), integrating input from internal stakeholders and external utilities.

• Procurement & Consultant Management: Prepare technical design scopes, manage consultant engagements, monitor contractor performance, and provide input into tender evaluations.

• Funding & Compliance: Identify project risks and opportunities while incorporating vital civil grant funding programs (such as Black Spot, MRRG, and Road to Recovery).

• Value Engineering: Apply whole-of-life asset reasoning and cost-effective value engineering at concept, detailed, and pre-tender stages.

What You Will Bring:

• An Engineers Australia accredited Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (plus significant relevant experience) and membership eligibility.

• Extensive practical experience in civil engineering infrastructure design (roads, traffic management, and stormwater drainage systems).

• Demonstrated ability to lead design resources, coordinate workloads, and technical peer-review design outputs.

• Comprehensive knowledge of relevant standards and guidelines (AUSTROADS, MRWA, IPWEA, and Australian Standards).

• Proven experience in procurement, tender preparation, and consultant contract management.

• A valid C Class Australian Driver's Licence and the ability to obtain a National Police Certificate.

What We Offer in Return

• Generous work-from-home (WFH) options and genuine workplace flexibility.

• A competitive salary package up to $117,960 plus a commuter-use vehicle.

• Unbeatable permanent job stability with an organisation built on strong values: We Care, We Are Better Together, and We Learn and Grow.
