Mentor and support junior staff, contributing to their technical development and building overall team capability
Coordinate multidisciplinary teams, sub-consultants, clients and approval authorities
Engage confidently with stakeholders, maintaining a professional and polished presence across meetings, presentations and written communication

Experience & Skills

8+ years’ experience in Water, Civil or Environmental Engineering, with a strong project delivery focus
Proven experience delivering and certifying stormwater management plans, flood and hydraulic impact assessments, drainage design and land development or infrastructure projects
Strong technical capability in urban stormwater, floodplain management, erosion and sediment control, and WSUD
Demonstrated commercial acumen, including preparing fee proposals, tendering, invoicing and managing budgets and variations
Proven ability to manage multiple projects concurrently while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with clients, councils, developers and internal stakeholders
Demonstrated experience leading projects end-to-end, from scoping and pricing through to delivery, certification and close-out
Experience delegating to and supervising junior engineers, with a genuine interest in mentoring and team development
