Civil Engineer

About us:

pitt&sherry is an Australian employee-owned consultancy. Since 1963, we have been delivering engineering and environmental consulting, advisory and project management services. We thrive on tackling challenging projects that enable us to live up to our vision: inspired thinking to embrace the challenges of a changing world.

We are proud to be Australia's most agile thinkers: we are engineers, scientists, planners, technicians, project managers and consultants and coupled with our multi-disciplinary offering, we deliver solutions that make a true difference to people and place. With seven offices throughout Australia, we are committed to remaining big enough to deliver, small enough to care.

The Opportunity:

Due to our upcoming pipeline of work across Energy (Hydro, Solar, Wind, Transmission), Industrial, Development and Transport markets we are interested in talking to civil engineers who would like to be involved in a variety of innovative and technically challenging infrastructure projects in Tasmania and across Australia.

• Contribute to major projects across the energy, renewable energy, resources, water, transport and civic sectors, working with clients and project teams across Australia.
• Take ownership of design packages and coordinate delivery, while supporting and reviewing the work of other engineers and designers.
• Prepare and review engineering drawings, specifications, reports and other technical documentation.
• Build strong relationships with clients and work closely with project managers, design managers and multidisciplinary teams to achieve successful project outcomes.
• Apply quality, safety and project requirements throughout the design process, ensuring solutions are practical, compliant and fit for purpose.
• Continue building your technical and professional capability through mentoring, internal development opportunities and professional accreditation pathways.
• Use your experience and engineering judgement to deliver outstanding outcomes for clients
