Job Description

What if you could do the kind of work the world needs?

At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives. You can experience a world of opportunity and the chance to shape a career as unique as you.

This role will see you become a leader, thereby enhancing your capabilities and the reputation of WSP’s Property and Buildings team. You will collaborate with talented and diverse professionals working on iconic projects to drive future ready outcomes that will benefit clients and communities.

Our Property and Buildings team is a world-leading management and technical consultancy operating across all sectors. We are passionate about tackling the complex and sophisticated challenges of the built environment and delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to create accessible, resilient and liveable communities.

Our Brisbane team is working on small, medium and large projects across a range of sectors, including projects in Defence and DFAT. But we have a national team approach to all our projects, which means you will work on projects across Australia, not just projects in QLD, ensuring you gain a breadth of experience across a diverse range of projects and industries.

You’ll scope and steer civil works from concept through detailed design and construction support, coordinate inputs from roads, drainage, utilities and pavements, and bring a pragmatic eye for buildability, safety and whole‑of‑life performance. You’ll be a trusted advisor to clients and partners—facilitating workshops, de‑risking decisions, and shaping clear, compliant deliverables—while mentoring our emerging engineers and championing digital design and quality standards.

If you enjoy variety, accountability and the chance to move between city‑shaping transport, nation‑critical defence, and low‑carbon infrastructure, this role offers real impact and a platform to grow your leadership.

What you’ll do:

• Have the opportunity to work on iconic projects within a multi-disciplined engineering team to deliver a range of civil engineering design projects
• Support the wider team and other teams within the company nationally when the opportunity presents
• Carry out assigned project and 12D design work as part of an integral team adhering to technical and commercial standards
• Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders and be committed to team approach and outcomes
• Provide ongoing continuous improvement and development inputs to create more efficient workflows within the team

At WSP you’ll find the scale and reach you need to do the kind of work the world needs – and the culture and people that make it the best work of your life.
