Greater Melbourne Area, Australia WSP in Australia Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Are you ready to power the future of Australia's energy infrastructure?
WSP is expanding our
Power & Energy
business and we're looking for a future-focused
Senior or Associate Civil Engineer
to join our growing
Renewable Energy
team. This national role offers the opportunity to work on some of the most complex and high-profile energy projects in the country, while building your leadership path in a business that's scaling fast.

We're working on exciting projects including
wind farms, solar farms and BESS.
While there is a focus on renewable energy projects, this role will support the broader Power & Energy business with scope to work on transmission and distribution, and other forms of generation.

What You'll Do

  • Provide expert civil engineering advice to developers, owners, and financiers in the energy sector.
  • Design and/or manage: solar pile foundations; solar farm systems and infrastructure; access roads; grading; drainage; retaining walls; stormwater systems; wind turbine foundations; BESS foundations; crane hardstands; stream, creek and river crossings; MV station pads; site construction facilities; operation and maintenance facilities; conceptual BESS, wind and solar farms layouts; and other civil infrastructure associated with renewable projects.
  • Deliver or coordinate technical assessments: quarry, traffic, earthworks, drainage, construction noise, and geotechnical investigations.
  • Contribute to concept and balance-of-plant designs for wind, solar, and battery projects.
  • Review detailed designs as Owner's Engineer and conduct site inspections across Australia.
  • Lead and manage consulting engagements, with increasing responsibility aligned to your experience.
  • Support bids and business development for renewable energy and infrastructure projects.
  • Collaborate across disciplines and mentor junior engineers as you grow into a leadership role.

This is more than a job, it's your chance to lead the civil design in Australia's renewable energy industry and grow your career in a team that values
technical excellence, innovation, and leadership
.

About You

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or equivalent).
  • 8+ years of experience in civil engineering, ideally in a consulting environment.
  • Strong technical capability in civil design and documentation for renewable energy projects. Experience with wind turbine foundations design will be looked on favourably but is not essential.
  • Experience with Safety in Design practices and multidisciplinary coordination.
  • Skilled in design management and confident leading project delivery.
  • Chartered (CPEng), RPEQ, or working toward professional registration.
  • Excellent communicator and relationship builder with a strategic mindset.
  • Passionate about renewables and ready to step into a national leadership path.
  • On-site renewables experience is highly desirable.
