Senior Drainage Engineer

As a Senior Drainage Engineer, you’ll play a key role in delivering major transport projects across Victoria. From roads to rail, you’ll take ownership of drainage design and project delivery—planning, designing, and executing solutions that meet the highest standards. 

You’ll lead design teams, mentor junior engineers, and manage projects end-to-end, ensuring timelines, budgets, and safety requirements are met. Building strong client relationships will be central to your success, as will your ability to produce clear, technically sound reports and proposals. 

This is your chance to work alongside some of the best in the industry on high-profile projects that shape the future of Australia’s transport infrastructure. 

Who are you? 

You’re an experienced Senior Drainage Engineer with a strong track record in civil infrastructure projects.

Building trusted relationships with clients and stakeholders comes naturally to you. 

You bring: 

• A degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent) 

• Hands-on experience delivering infrastructure projects with consultants, contractors, and government agencies
