Your next role should move you forward. Not sideways.
At Fluor, we believe great design is about more than drawings, models, and standards. It’s about people who take ownership, think ahead, and shape the future of major resources projects. This Principal Civil Designer role is for someone who wants to influence outcomes from day one, someone who brings deep technical skill, genuine leadership, and the ability to guide civil design through complexity with confidence and clarity. If that sounds like you, you’re exactly who we want to speak to.
Why this role matters
This isn’t a typical design role. You’ll be a key technical leader within the Interim DES phase, helping drive critical scopes from concept to 40% maturity (and two scopes to 100%). You’ll be the person others lean on, the one who brings experience, structure, technical authority and, most importantly, calm direction. And you’ll be joining a team that values your voice, respects your expertise, and trusts you to lead.
All About YOU
What you’ll be doing
You will lead and develop designs to be incorporated to issued for review level and attend civil design related discussions in client and internal meetings and meetings with third-parties, reporting to Design Supervisor. Work as the lead on aspects of design modelling and general arrangement development, providing technical direction and signoff reporting to Design Supervisor.
What Will Set You Apart From The Rest
