Senior Civil Engineer Hybrid

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.

As a Senior Civil Engineer in our Adelaide team, you’ll lead the design and delivery of complex, multi‑disciplinary projects across major transport programs for DIT, the energy transition (from grid‑connections and depots to enabling infrastructure), and defence estate and capability upgrades. 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:

• Partner with internal stakeholders and a collaborative, national team in a multidisciplinary engineering setting.
• Solve complex engineering challenges in a fast-paced, collaborative environment—bringing innovative thinking to projects that shape South Australia’s future. 
• Lead and deliver civil design across diverse sectors, from major transport programs for DIT to energy transition infrastructure and defence upgrades. 
• Work across multiple business units, partnering with specialists in structures, geotechnics, water, and sustainability to deliver integrated solutions. 
• Drive technical excellence and buildability, ensuring designs meet client objectives, safety standards, and whole-of-life performance. 
• Engage directly with clients and stakeholders, facilitating workshops, de-risking decisions, and providing clear, actionable advice. 
•  Mentor and develop emerging engineers, fostering a culture of learning and innovation within the team. 
• Champion digital tools and quality systems, leveraging technology to improve efficiency and outcomes.

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.
