Civil Engineer

A growing multidisciplinary engineering consultancy is looking for a Civil Engineer to take ownership of projects across land development stormwater civil infrastructure and site civils for commercial and residential developments. This is a hands on design and delivery role not a paper pushing one. Youll be running projects dealing directly with clients and shaping the technical output that goes out the door.

What youll be doing

• Designing and delivering civil works across subdivisions commercial developments industrial sites and infrastructure projects including stormwater earthworks pavements water and sewer reticulation and road geometry.
• Producing design documentation drawings specifications and reports to a standard that holds up in front of councils SA Water DIT and clients.
• Managing projects end-to-end: scoping fee proposals programming budget tracking and client liaison.
• Coordinating with structural electrical hydraulic and survey disciplines internally and with architects planners and contractors externally.
• Reviewing the work of junior engineers and drafters and mentoring where it makes sense.
• Attending site as required for pre-construction inspections and handover.

What were actually looking for

We care more about what you can do than where you studied. If you can demonstrate the following we want to talk:

• Solid civil consulting experience in the Australian market ideally South Australia but Australian or Overseas experience is fine if you understand SA specific requirements (or are willing to learn quickly).
• Strong working knowledge of AS/NZS standards relevant to civil works council DPTI/Open Space requirements SA Water technical standards and stormwater design principles (rational method MUSIC DRAINS or 12d).
• Hands-on competency with 12d Model Civil 3D or equivalent. You should be able to drive the software yourself not just check someone elses work.
• A track record of delivering projects on time and on fee with clients whod take your call again.
• Clear communication across written reports client meetings and contractor RFIs. If you can explain a design decision without burying it in jargon youll do well here.
• CPEng / RPEQ is a bonus but not a hard requirement. Chartered status pathway is supported if youre not there yet.

Whats on offer

• Genuine project ownership from day one. You wont be sitting in someone elses checking queue.
• Salary aligned to experience and what you bring not a band you got slotted into.
• A team that actually talks to each other across disciplines not siloed practice groups.
• A clear path to senior / principal level for the right person.
• Flexible working arrangements once youre up and running.
