Senior Civil Engineer - Land Development & Urban Renewal
Darwin | Design Consultancy | Greenfield & Brownfield Projects
This is not a volume-driven, infrastructure-heavy environment.
This is subdivision and urban renewal design within a structured engineering consultancy - where your judgement, not bureaucracy, drives delivery.
We are representing a well-established consultancy with a consistent Northern Territory pipeline across residential subdivisions, mixed-use developments and urban renewal precincts.
Responsibilities:
- Leading civil design across land development and infill renewal projects
- Managing roads, drainage, stormwater, earthworks and servicing strategies
- Coordinating approvals with local authorities and key stakeholders
- Working closely with 12D designers and junior engineers to deliver high-quality documentation
- Owning projects from concept through detailed design and approval
Why This Role is Appealing:
Real Project Ownership
You are not a number in a mega-infrastructure division. You see your projects built.
Clear Technical Authority
You influence design direction rather than just follow standards written elsewhere.
Balanced Workload
Sustainable delivery expectations — not endless transport megaproject deadlines.
Consultancy Environment
Pure design focus. Not construction site-heavy. Not developer-side commercial pressure.
Leadership Pathway
Opportunity to step into Associate-level influence for the right person.
Darwin Lifestyle Advantage
Shorter commutes. Real impact in a growing market. Strong visibility with clients and councils.
Looking For:
- 5-10+ years’ experience in civil engineering within a design consultancy
- Strong land development background (greenfield subdivisions and/or urban renewal)
- Experience delivering civil documentation aligned with Australian standards
- Confidence across drainage, roads, earthworks and servicing design
- Experience working with 12D designers and multidisciplinary teams
- Stable consultancy-based career history
Not Suited To:
- Engineers working primarily in large-scale transport, rail or highway infrastructure
- Construction contractor or site-supervision-based roles
- Developer-side project management without detailed design responsibility
If you are a Senior Civil Engineer who enjoys technical leadership, tangible projects and genuine influence - this is not just another role.
