- Drive high-quality project outcomes through technical excellence, cost efficiency, and proactive leadership.
- Maintain and strengthen key client relationships, with a focus on DIT, ensuring alignment with project objectives and expectations.
- Lead and support bids and proposals, helping to secure new work by shaping winning strategies and design solutions.
- Deliver advanced civil designs using 12D and AutoCAD, integrating models into BIM environments for multidisciplinary coordination.
- Mentor and guide designers and drafters, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning.
- Ensure all designs comply with Austroads, DIT guidelines, and relevant Australian Standards.

**Skills & Experience Required**:

- Diploma or Associate Diploma in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
- Extensive experience in roads and highways design on major infrastructure projects using 12D and AutoCAD.
- Demonstrated knowledge of DIT standards and a strong understanding of Austroads and Australian Standards.
- Proven ability to build and maintain strong client interfaces, particularly with DIT.
- Experience leading bids and contributing to business development initiatives.
- Strong knowledge of BIM workflows and civil model integration (ProjectWise experience is a plus).
- Collaborative, solutions-focused approach with excellent communication and leadership skills.

**Why Join Us?**

At KBR, you'll be part of a forward-thinking team delivering some of Australia's most complex infrastructure projects. We're investing in the future of South Australia — and you'll be at the heart of it. You'll have the chance to influence how we grow, shape our local capability, and leave a legacy in the region. We support flexible work arrangements and offer career pathways that reward leadership, innovation, and client success.
