  • Must have is TfNSW exposure.
  • Exposure to contractor-side delivery, constructability reviews or secondment work is highly regarded.

  • 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.
