Civil Engineer – Step up to Senior

Civil Engineer (Ready for the Next Step?)

Have you reached the point where you’re doing the work of a Senior Engineer… but not getting the support, mentorship or opportunity to fully step into that role?

Perhaps you’re managing projects, dealing with clients and solving complex technical challenges, yet still finding yourself competing with a layer of established seniors above you. Or maybe you’ve hit a ceiling in a larger organisation where the pathway forward feels unclear.

This opportunity could be the bridge between being a capable Civil Engineer and becoming the Senior Engineer you know you’re capable of being.

Our client is a highly respected Australian engineering consultancy delivering innovative and sustainable outcomes across urban development, infrastructure and building projects. Their reputation has been built on technical excellence, collaborative project delivery and investing heavily in the growth of their people.

Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Civil Engineer with approximately 5+ years’ experience who is ready to take the next step in their career within a supportive and technically strong environment.

Why This Role?

• Direct mentorship from experienced senior engineers and leaders invested in your development.
• A genuine pathway into Senior Engineer and Project Lead responsibilities.
• Exposure to project management, client relationships, commercial and financial aspects of consulting.
• Varied work across urban development, infrastructure and building projects.
• Collaborative team environment where people are supported, not siloed.
• Flexible working arrangements and a strong focus on work-life balance.
• Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.

You’ll Bring

• A Civil Engineering degree.
• Around 5+ years’ experience in a consulting environment
• Design experience across stormwater, roads, pavements, retaining walls and civil infrastructure.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• The ambition to step into a more senior role and continue growing your career.

If you’re looking for the right environment to take the next step, rather than waiting for an opportunity to open up above you, this could be the move that accelerates your career.
