Take the next step in your career with a consultancy that’s invested in developing future leaders.

  • Scoping projects and preparing bids and proposals.
  • Construction contract superintendency.
  • Engineering investigations, technical reporting and client liaison.
  • Supporting and mentoring junior engineers while developing your own leadership skills.

  • Structured pathway from Senior Civil Engineer to Team Leader.
  • Ongoing mentoring and support from experienced leaders.
  • Open and supportive leadership environment.
  • Friendly, collaborative and dynamic team culture.
  • Opportunity to work on diverse, technically interesting projects across multiple sectors.
  • Centrally located office outside the CBD with excellent public transport access
