Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia EDT. Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Principal Civil Designer – 12D Specialist

Are you a driven
12D Civil Designer
ready to make your mark on landmark infrastructure projects while shaping the future of a thriving engineering consultancy?

Our client, a respected and fast-growing civil engineering firm, is entering an exciting phase of expansion. Renowned for their technical excellence, supportive culture, and strong pipeline of work, they're seeking an experienced
Principal Civil Designer
with proven
Stormwater design experience
to lead and influence within the business.

Why This Role Stands Out

Be a Key Player, Not a Number

Join a collaborative, high-performing team that values mutual respect and innovation. Your ideas will be heard, your expertise valued, and your contributions recognised.

Diverse & Impactful Projects

From road and drainage upgrades to bridge and airport infrastructure, your designs will directly shape communities across Queensland and beyond. With
stormwater and flood management
as critical focuses, your skills will play a pivotal role in delivering sustainable, future-ready outcomes.

Lead With Purpose

Step up into a Principal-level role, or bring your existing leadership experience to guide and mentor a passionate design team. You'll have a direct impact on project delivery, client relationships, and the firm's long-term vision.

Real Career Progression

This is more than a role - it's a genuine pathway to long-term leadership within a business that invests in its people.

Work-Life Synergy

Enjoy a prime Sunshine Coast office location, paid overtime, and a competitive base salary with total earning potential for those who opt for additional hours.

Who You Are

  • A motivated
    Senior 12D Civil Designer
    with
    demonstrated Stormwater design experience
    (non-negotiable).
  • A natural mentor with a collaborative mindset and a strong eye for detail.
  • Someone who thrives in a culture that values both technical excellence and team spirit.
  • Professional, down-to-earth, and driven to deliver high-quality outcomes.

Make Your Move

This is your chance to step into a leadership role with a consultancy that has heart, vision, and an exciting future.

If you're ready to elevate your career while working alongside a values-driven team and bring proven
Stormwater expertise
to the table, we'd love to hear from you.
