Civil Engineering Recruitment

As a civil engineer, one can delve deeper into technical specialisations, manage projects, or lead teams within consultancy or on-site. Alternatives include transitioning to a contracting role or venturing into client-side project management, advisory, or even infrastructure development planning.

Post-qualification, acquiring chartered status from institutions like  Engineers Australia can significantly enhance career prospects. Further accreditations, such as the National Engineering Register (NER), can also be pursued.

With over 15 years of collective experience in recruiting within the Australia's engineering sector, we have meticulously built our network and conducted extensive research. Our connections range from boutique Civil design consultancies to national tier 2's and global tier 1 multi-disciplinaries, including subcontractors, builders, developers, and client-side consultancies.

We invest also time in understanding your career plans, goals, and ambitions.

We focus on the type of employer you wish to work for, the leader you want to mentor you, and the projects you aspire to work on. Utilising our research and industry knowledge, we recommend companies for you to meet, guiding you through the interview process, and negotiating the best possible package.

We continue to support you throughout your career, acting as your eyes and ears in the market, offering advice on how to advance further.

Over 90% of the Civil jobs we place candidates in are 'off-market' positions. Leveraging our market knowledge, we introduce you to potential employers that align with your goals and ambitions, not limited to active job listings.

No, we also recruit for Civil subcontractors, builders, developers, and client-side consultancies. If you are considering transitioning to another sector within the industry, we can provide advice and guidance.

We recruit engineers from junior level to associate, principal, director, and state director levels.

Our clients typically recruit graduate engineers through graduate schemes and university relationships. However, we are always happy to provide advice, and you can find helpful resources on our hub.

Certainly, we have assisted engineers at various levels in making the move from overseas, provided they have a valid visa. In some cases, we can assist those needing visa sponsorship before relocating to Australia.

As a minimum, we recommend working towards attaining NER (National Engineering Registration) and/or CPEng (Chartership), along with Class 2 Design Practitioner accreditation as a Civil engineer.

Demonstrate confidence and capability in client communications, take the lead on projects, show autonomy in day-to-day tasks, actively mentor and train team members, build your network and client base, and showcase your value through technical excellence or quality assurance, even if you are not a Business Development professional. Additionally, consider obtaining further accreditations such as Design Practitioner, NER, or CPEng.
