About the role

Build infrastructure that keeps Queensland moving!

Are you a civil engineer ready to apply your technical knowledge to meaningful transport projects? Join Transport and Main Roads and help plan, deliver and manage roads, bridges and other infrastructure that support safe and reliable travel across Central Queensland.

About the role

As a Civil Engineer, you will work with experienced engineering and project professionals across the full project lifecycle. You will contribute to transport planning, project development, design, delivery, maintenance and asset management activities, while building your capability under the guidance of senior engineering staff.

Central Queensland Region manages transport infrastructure across more than 600,000 square kilometres, including over 9,000 kilometres of state-controlled roads and 1,500 kilometres of the National Land Transport Network. With offices in Rockhampton, Mackay, Emerald and Barcaldine, the region offers exposure to varied infrastructure, environments and engineering challenges.

In this role, you will:

  • provide technical engineering advice and undertake assessments to support planning, design, delivery, maintenance and asset management
  • manage projects or project components to achieve quality outcomes, value for money and sound engineering practice
  • identify project risks, emerging issues and opportunities, and develop practical and cost-effective solutions
  • support procurement activities and the administration of consultant and construction contracts
  • coordinate budgets, forecasting, accruals, procurement and performance reporting
  • contribute to the delivery of road, bridge, maintenance and asset improvement projects
  • build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders
  • ensure work meets relevant governance, safety, risk management and departmental requirements.

What you will bring

You will use sound judgement, take responsibility for the quality of your work and collaborate effectively to achieve project outcomes. You will be comfortable applying civil engineering and project management principles across multiple infrastructure projects, while actively developing your professional knowledge and capability.

You must hold:

  • a four-year Washington Accord accredited Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering, or an equivalent qualification accepted by Engineers Australia
  • a current Class C driver licence.

Why join TMR?

You will gain hands-on experience across diverse transport infrastructure projects while working alongside experienced professionals. TMR supports career development, an inclusive workplace and a healthy work-life balance.

This role provides an opportunity to strengthen your technical, project management, commercial and stakeholder engagement skills while contributing to infrastructure that makes a practical difference for Queensland communities.
