Senior Associate Civil Engineering

_{07th September, 2026}

The Company.

Approach has been engaged by a well-regarded consultancy working across property and infrastructure to appoint a Senior Civil Project Manager. Operating on projects that shape the way communities live and grow, they bring together all elements of civil land development.

This is a senior, client-facing role with real accountability for how projects are delivered and how the client experiences that delivery. Please note this role is based in Canberra.

The Role.

You will take ownership of projects from proposal through to completion, managing scope, program and budget while leading collaboration across the various disciplines involved. Day to day, you will be the primary point of contact for the client, keeping them informed, managing expectations and building the kind of trust that leads to repeat work.

Alongside delivery, you will set and monitor project performance, identify risk early and act on it, and coordinate cross-discipline teams to keep everyone moving in the same direction. This is a role for someone who can hold the commercial and the relationship side of a project at once.

What You Need.

The expectation is that you will be a qualified civil engineer with strong project and design management experience, ideally gained within a consultancy across property, land development or infrastructure projects. You will be confident owning project financials, program and scope, and comfortable being the person the client relies on.

Besides the above, you'll ideally hold Chartered status with CPEng, along with a track record of leading multi-disciplinary teams, managing scope and variations without losing sight of the objective, and delivering projects to their agreed time and cost.

On Offer.

A senior role with genuine ownership of projects and the client relationships behind them, within a business that takes real pride in the quality of its work. For the right person, it offers a clear platform to grow into project director and leadership responsibility over time.
