Description (EN)
WSP currently have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Civil Engineer with strong Design experience to join our Perth office.
What if you could do the kind of work the world needs?
 

Due to sustained growth, our Perth office is looking to engage an experienced Civil Design Engineer to join our Property and Buildings group.

•   Open to various levels of experience - Project Engineer or Senior Design Engineer. 
•   Domestic relocation support available including dependents. 
•   Work on iconic projects & develop your career within a highly skilled team.

Our WA 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 Perth, ensuring you gain a breadth of experience across a diverse range of projects and industries.
 
We are immensely proud of our extensive portfolio of projects. It demonstrates our breadth of capability and depth of expertise to transform our clients' visions into realities that are sustainable in every sense - commercially, technically, socially and environmentally.

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.
 
  • Partner with internal stakeholders and a collaborative, national team in a multidisciplinary engineering setting.
  • The opportunity to work on iconic projects within a multi-disciplined engineering team to deliver a range of civil engineering design projects.
  • Work in a high impact, market-facing and civil engineering delivery focused role.
  • Manage ongoing communication and highly effective professional relationships with local clients.
  • Lead and deliver current civil engineering projects from inception through to construction in support of technical and commercial standards, and within time constraints and cost budgets.
  • Work in a varied, hands-on role with a leadership angle across design management, superintendency and site surveillance.
  • Partner effectively with internal and external stakeholders and be committed to team approach and outcomes.
  • Provide sound technical/delivery guidance for the team
  • Mentor, train and develop the careers of junior engineers

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.
