We're partnering with a leading engineering consultancy that has earned a strong reputation for shaping major infrastructure and urban development projects across NSW. Their Sydney team is deeply embedded in the delivery environment, working side-by-side with civil contractors to provide specialist design, project management and constructability expertise.

and 
project managers
, often seconded into civil contractor teams. This is a 
career-building opportunity
 for someone ready to combine technical capability with leadership, people management and contractor-facing project delivery. You'll get to jump in and 
guide strategy,
 have a significant 
commercial exposure
 and work on transport 
bids.

What You'll Do

  • Support the Civil Lead in day-to-day leadership of a high-performing team.
  • Oversee engineers, design managers and project managers working directly with contractors on live projects.
  • Provide technical input, quality oversight and mentoring to junior staff.
  • Act as a key liaison between the consultancy, contractors and clients, ensuring seamless communication and project alignment.
  • Step up into the leadership role when required, offering career progression into a future Team Lead position.

What We're Looking For

  • Degree-qualified civil engineer with at least 7 years of experience and keen to continue their growth.
  • Strong background in civil infrastructure, ideally across road, transport, utilities or urban development projects.
  • Must have is TfNSW exposure.
  • Exposure to contractor-side delivery, constructability reviews or secondment work is highly regarded.
  • Natural leadership ability with experience mentoring juniors and supporting project teams.
  • Excellent communication skills and the confidence to engage directly with contractors and clients.

Why Join?

  • Work on high-profile civil and transport projects in Sydney and across NSW.
  • A culture that values ownership, collaboration and practical solutions.
  • Long-term growth with a consultancy committed to developing its people.
  • Genuine step into leadership, with succession planning towards a future Civil Lead role.

If you're a civil engineer ready to take on more responsibility while staying hands-on with major projects, this role offers the best of both worlds.

  • A package in the high $200s is on offer.
