Principal Civil Design Engineer – Inner Melbourne

You’ve been in the game long enough to know what good design looks like — and what it takes to deliver it. You’re across the detail, confident in your judgment, and ready to lead projects without being pulled into endless layers of management or chaos.

This is a respected mid‑sized consultancy working across some of Victoria’s most recognisable land development projects. This role offers real design ownership, a supportive team, and a chance to guide younger staff without letting go of the technical work you enjoy.

Why this might be the right fit for you:

- You’re still passionate about design, you’d like fewer roadblocks and more autonomy

- You’re not interested in big‑firm politics; just good people, good work, and being trusted to deliver

In this role, you’ll:

- Lead technical delivery of land development projects across Victoria

- Oversee detailed design in 12D; you’ll guide the strategic work, not just check it

- Mentor junior engineers and support their technical growth

- Coordinate across other disciplines

- Be a trusted client contact, with the confidence to give sound, practical advice

What you’ll bring:

- 10–20 years’ civil design experience, with a strong focus on land development

- Strong working knowledge of local authority standards and approval processes

- DAS accreditations.

- Leadership that’s grounded, steady, and backed by solid technical knowledge

What we offer:

- A healthy project pipeline across greenfield and infill development

- An inner‑city office

- A highly competent, down‑to‑earth team who know what they’re doing

- Genuinely flexible working options and senior leadership who don’t micromanage

- A stable, respectful environment where quality work is the focus

If you’re looking for a lead role that respects your time, your experience, and your skills, without the ego or bureaucracy, we’d love to hear from you.
