- Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, contractors and authorities
- Identify business development opportunities and help grow the Queensland civil business
- Support workforce planning, resourcing and the wider strategic direction of the office
ABOUT YOU
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or an equivalent qualification recognised by Engineers Australia
- RPEQ registration essential, with CPEng highly regarded
- 10+ years' engineering design experience within a consulting environment
- A track record of leading teams and delivering complex civil projects
