Project Engineer - Land Development

We are seeking a Project Engineer to support the delivery of land development projects from initial concept through to construction completion. This role will suit a technically capable civil engineer who can coordinate design, approvals, documentation and construction activities across residential, commercial or infrastructure-related developments. You will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, authorities and internal stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and within budget.


Key responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing civil engineering designs, technical reports, specifications, calculations and construction documentation; coordinating multidisciplinary consultant teams; managing project programmes, budgets, risks and deliverables; and assisting with planning, development and construction approvals. You will review contractor submissions, respond to technical queries, attend site meetings, monitor progress and quality, and help resolve design or construction issues. The role will also involve undertaking site inspections, assessing works against approved plans and specifications, maintaining accurate project records, and contributing to cost estimates, tenders and client reporting.


To be successful, you will hold a degree in Civil Engineering and have relevant experience in land development, civil infrastructure or a related consulting or construction environment. Professional registration or progress towards registration will be highly regarded. You should have sound knowledge of subdivision and development design, including roads, earthworks, stormwater drainage, water and sewer infrastructure, and relevant standards and approval processes. Strong skills in design and project management software, together with the ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation, are desirable. Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and build effective working relationships. A proactive approach, attention to detail and commitment to safety, quality and professional standards will be valued.
