The opportunity
This is a chance to play a meaningful role in the next stage of our Newcastle business. Working closely with the Regional Director in Sydney, you'll help shape and deliver our growth strategy, build client relationships and develop new opportunities across Newcastle and the surrounding region.

You'll join an established team with experience across buildings, bridges and transport, with opportunities to grow our work in areas such as facades and mining. You'll also have the support and expertise of our Sydney office, while building on our local presence and connections.

It's a senior, hands-on role for someone who enjoys developing business and is ready to make a broader contribution: helping set the direction, strengthening relationships and supporting the continued growth of the Newcastle team.


What you'll do

• Work with the Sydney Regional Director to shape and deliver the Newcastle growth strategy.
• Develop trusted client relationships and identify opportunities for sustainable growth.
• Build on our established work across buildings, bridges and transport.
• Explore opportunities in facades, mining and related sectors.
• Draw on the wider business to support local clients and project teams.
• Help grow our Newcastle presence and build a strong, connected team.

About you
You're an experienced business-development leader with a strong understanding of the Newcastle market and established client relationships in the region. You know how to build trust, recognise opportunities and turn them into lasting client partnerships and work.

You'll bring a strong track record in business development and client leadership. Around 15+ years' experience is a guide; what matters most is your judgement, credibility and ability to make a positive contribution to the business. A civil or structural engineering background would be valuable, as would a practical understanding of the local market.
