Senior / Principal Civil Engineer Urban Development | Gold Coast, QLD | Full Time
Competitive salary + benefits
* Senior / Principal level
* Established, high-performing team
About the Team
This is one of the most established and technically strong urban development teams in South East Queensland — and the Gold Coast office is arguably where that reputation is strongest. The team spans two offices across the region, but this opportunity sits right in the heart of the Gold Coast group, where the work is consistent, the culture is solid, and the technical standards are genuinely high.
You'd be joining a well-resourced consultancy with a global footprint — the kind of place that works at the top end of town, attracts flagship projects, and genuinely invests in its people. Think industry-leading flexibility, great benefits, and a culture that backs professionals to do their best work without unnecessary noise.
About the Role
This position has been created to support the regional manager and work closely alongside a team of experienced seniors on a varied portfolio of urban development projects. If you're someone who thrives on consistency of work, enjoys the mix of smaller neighbourhood-scale developments through to large master-planned projects, and wants the backing of a genuinely excellent team — this is worth a close look.
Day to day, you'll be involved in:
* Contributing across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility and concept through to detailed design and construction
* Coordinating small project teams and keeping things running smoothly
* Presenting designs and concepts to clients and senior stakeholders
* Technical quality assurance and report writing to a high standard
* Engaging with clients and key government stakeholders through workshops and ongoing liaison
What You'll Bring
This role is pitched at someone who is ready for the next step toward technical director level. You'll have a strong track record in urban development and the kind of technical grounding that earns the respect of clients and colleagues alike. Specifically, we're looking for:
* Solid experience delivering urban development projects in South East QLD or Northern NSW
* Strong technical report writing — this one matters
* Proven ability to juggle multiple projects, coordinate design teams, and keep clients in the loop
* Comfortable presenting design options and navigating technical decisions with confidence
* RPEQ (or actively working toward it) — highly regarded
What's on Offer
This is the kind of role that doesn't come up often — a genuine opportunity to step into a high-performing team, backed by the resources of a global consultancy, while doing meaningful work on the Gold Coast. Beyond that:
* Industry-leading flexibility and working conditions
* Competitive remuneration package at senior or principal level
* Access to global networks, tools, and professional development pathways
* A stable, supportive team where your contribution will genuinely count
* Clear line of sight to a technical director level trajectory
