Civil Engineer (Civil Infrastructure)

About This Role

Working as a developing civil engineer, you will support the delivery of site infrastructure design packages across a range of projects. You will contribute to stormwater, earthworks, and basic water/wastewater designs, coordinate with other disciplines, and build strong technical fundamentals under the guidance of senior engineers.

Responsibilities

• Perform specific and limited portions of broader civil/site infrastructure assignments under moderate supervision, to agreed budget and programme
• Gather, interpret and correlate engineering data using established and well-defined procedures
• Work on detailed or routine design tasks involving calculations, modelling and relatively simple tests/checks
• Support delivery of key infrastructure elements, including:
• Stormwater design (pit and pipe layouts, hydraulic checks, minor drainage design)
• Bulk earthworks support (grading plans, levels coordination, basic cut/fill inputs)
• Basic water and wastewater infrastructure (reticulation layouts, tie-ins, design checks)
• WSUD support where required (e.g., contributing to concept layouts and design documentation)
• Propose practical approaches to new problems, escalating early where needed and applying learnings from previous tasks
• Identify discrepancies in calculations, drawings, models or inputs and raise them promptly for resolution
• Coordinate with internal disciplines and external stakeholders on interfaces (services coordination, site constraints, constructability)
• Provide day-to-day support and informal guidance to graduates/entry-level engineers (as appropriate)

Requirements

• 2–5 years’ post-graduate experience in civil/site infrastructure design
• Exposure to applying Austroads and local council/authority requirements (or a willingness to learn quickly)
• Developing competency in stormwater (pit and pipe) and familiarity with earthworks and basic water/wastewater design tasks
• Process-driven and detail-oriented, with a clear focus on quality, checking and well-structured deliverables
• A collaborative mindset, comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams and asking the right questions early

Nice to have:

• Interest in WSUD principles and how they integrate with stormwater solutions
• Any exposure to Department of Defence projects is highly regarded, but not essential

Benefits

• Flexible work arrangements, including alternative start/finish times, job-sharing and hybrid work options
• Purchase up to 6 weeks additional annual leave per year
• Swap public holidays for ones that suit you better
• Continuous learning and growth: lunch and learns, professional development courses, financial study assistance, 5 days paid study leave, global career opportunities
