Job Civil Lead/2IC, South Melbourne

Civil Lead / 2IC – Shape the Future | $200k–$250k
Brisbane | Rare Opportunity | Urban + Infrastructure Projects

Are you a seasoned civil engineer ready to step into something bigger?
We’re partnering with a respected, privately owned engineering consultancy in Brisbane – known for its technical excellence, collaborative culture, and diverse project portfolio – to find a pivotal addition to their leadership team. This is a career-defining role for an experienced Civil Engineer to co-lead a high-performing civil team of 35 and influence the direction of some of Queensland’s most engaging urban and infrastructure projects. Whether your passion lies in urban development, complex infill sites, or infrastructure upgrades – this role offers autonomy, influence, and the chance to genuinely leave your mark.
You’ll work closely with a highly regarded Director who is seeking a trusted 2IC – someone ready to take the reins, lead project teams, and contribute to strategy and growth. And if urban is your thing? You’ll have the space and support to make it your own.
What’s on offer:

• $200,000 – $250,000 + benefits (commensurate with experience)
• A role that blends technical leadership, project autonomy, and genuine influence
• The opportunity to co-lead a thriving civil team with strong systems and a collaborative culture
• Diverse work across urban development, civil infrastructure, and one-off unique projects
• A down-to-earth, high-trust environment that values initiative and balance

You might be:

• A Senior or Principal Civil Engineer ready to step into a leadership role
• Currently leading projects but looking for more strategic involvement and autonomy
• Someone with a strong track record in urban, infrastructure, or land development
• RPEQ or working toward it – or equivalent leadership credentials

Please note: To be considered, candidates must hold unrestricted Australian work rights and demonstrate relevant local engineering experience within the urban or infrastructure space.This is not your standard job. It’s the kind of opportunity that doesn’t hit the market often — and for the right person, it will be transformational.Curious?Get in touch for a confidential chat or express interest in confidence by sharing your CV to Michelle Murphy;Write to the company,0418 205 682. #J-18808-Ljbffr
