Job description

A national infrastructure delivery business is seeking a senior Design & Engineering Manager to lead its internal engineering function across a diverse portfolio of water and civil D&C projects.
This role offers an exceptional opportunity to drive design governance, lead a team of senior engineers, and shape project outcomes from strategy through to delivery. You’ll oversee both complex, bespoke projects and efficient repeat-scope works across Australia.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead a team of lead engineers and a broader multidisciplinary design group
  • Drive technical assurance, governance frameworks, and risk management systems
  • Oversee engineering across multiple concurrent projects nationally
  • Ensure alignment between design, construction, commercial, and client teams
  • Establish scalable internal systems and foster a culture of performance and accountability
Your Background
  • 10+ years in D&C design and engineering, ideally in water or civil infrastructure
  • Proven leadership across internal engineering teams, not just external consultant coordination
  • Experience managing portfolios or programs, not just single projects
  • Strong grasp of constructability, risk, and systems-led technical governance
  • Previous work within Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractors highly regarded
  • Chartered status (CPEng, RPEQ) desirable
The Offer
  • Join a growing national business with a reputation for excellence
  • Drive meaningful change in a senior, influential leadership role
  • Be part of high-impact D&C infrastructure delivery across the country
  • Melbourne or Sydney base preferred, with flexible travel as required
