(Highways | Subdivisions | Water Infrastructure)
You've got the title, but are you actually the one setting the standard?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well‐established, multi‐disciplinary consultancy delivering civil infrastructure and land development projects across public and private sectors.
This opportunity is for a Principal Civil Designer who wants to own true technical authority not just a title.
The Role
This is a hands‐on technical leadership position, sitting at the centre of the design function.
* Provide technical direction across the design team
* Lead detailed design across roads, subdivisions, and civil infrastructure
* Mentor and guide a small team of designers and drafters
* Work closely with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders to shape delivery
* Maintain and elevate design standards and quality across projects
This role is Darwin‐based and embedded with the team — giving you direct influence over projects, people, and outcomes.
What You Bring
* Circa 20+ years' experience in civil design (consultancy environment)
* Strong capability in 12D Model and AutoCAD
* Experience across roads, land development, stormwater, and earthworks
* Ability to lead design delivery and guide others technically
* Confidence working with autonomy and limited direction
* Demonstrated experience acting as the technical authority within a design team
What's on Offer
* 5 weeks annual leave
* A practical, low‐bureaucracy environment focused on delivery
This role requires someone who is willing to relocate to Darwin and be embedded within the team, contributing at a senior technical level.
Given the nature of the role, you must have strong working knowledge of Australian civil design standards.
Applicants must hold full Australian working rights as Sponsorship is not available for this position.
Darwin offers something most roles don't the ability to genuinely influence how work is delivered.
