Senior Manager Engineering (Temporary Opportunity - up to 40 months)

 

 

You’re a determined leader who stays true to your purpose and enjoys overcoming setbacks or obstacles.

 

You’ll have the opportunity to stretch yourself as you take on projects from start to finish. From design and tender to commissioning and transitioning, your work will ensure a successful collaboration and outcome for everyone involved.​

 

 

In this role, you'll:

Provide specialist civil and structural engineering expertise across Sydney Metro West, working closely with implementation teams, package leads and delivery partners to support the successful design and construction of nine major station packages. As a senior technical leader, you will act as the key engineering advisor across multiple stations, with your focus shifting depending on project priorities and delivery needs. This is a highly autonomous role where you'll work across a broad range of complex engineering challenges, ensuring technical outcomes are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with project requirements. 

 

Key areas of focus include:

•    Providing civil and structural engineering leadership across station and rail infrastructure packages

•    Reviewing and advising on design, construction methodologies, staging and technical solutions

•    Working closely with package leads, implementation teams and major contractors to resolve complex engineering issues

•    Supporting delivery through design, construction, testing and commissioning phases of the project lifecycle 

 

This role requires regular engagement with contractors and stakeholders across all station packages and will suit someone who enjoys being close to delivery, influencing outcomes and working independently in a large-scale, fast-paced infrastructure environment.

 

This is a fixed term full time role until 30th June 2030.

About you

You are a degree-qualified engineer with more than 10 years' experience delivering major rail, station or complex transport infrastructure projects, with particularly strong expertise in civil and structural engineering. You have developed your career in large, multidisciplinary project environments and are comfortable navigating both design and construction challenges while providing practical, solution-focused advice. 

 

You bring demonstrated experience working closely with contractors, designers and project delivery teams, ideally within major rail or station environments. Strong technical capability is essential, however equally important is your ability to build credibility with stakeholders, influence outcomes and operate effectively without direct supervision. Adaptable and proactive, you thrive in complex project environments and are comfortable moving between priorities as project needs evolve across multiple work fronts.
