Technical Director - Urban Land Development

  • Civil Engineering
  • Sydney
  • Permanent / Full Time
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Technical Director to step into a global engineering consultancy with a strong, secured pipeline of major projects, a permanent leadership role, and employee benefits that genuinely sit ahead of the market standard.

If you’re looking for a role where your technical knowledge is respected, your leadership shapes outcomes, and your career has room to grow, this is the perfect role for you.

The Opportunity

You will be a key leader within the Urban Land Development team, delivering complex, high-profile projects across:
  • Major residential subdivisions
  • Large-scale industrial and logistics estates
  • Mixed-use urban precincts
  • Commercial land development
  • Masterplanned communities and city-shaping infrastructure
Projects range from early-stage feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, construction support, and delivery, working alongside planners, architects, environmental specialists, and infrastructure teams.
This is a genuine Technical Director role, going well beyond project delivery to include technical oversight, strategic leadership, mentoring, and influencing outcomes across the wider business.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Acting as a technical expert for urban land development and civil infrastructure projects
  • Leading the technical direction and quality of major subdivisions and industrial developments
  • Providing high-level technical advice to clients, stakeholders, and internal teams
  • Driving design excellence, risk management, and innovation across projects
  • Mentoring and developing senior engineers and future leaders
  • Supporting work winning, client relationships, and strategic growth initiatives
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Secure, permanent position with a strong forward workload
  • Major projects with real scale, complexity, and visibility
  • Employee benefits ahead of market standard 
  • Flexible working and a culture that values trust and autonomy
  • Clear career progression pathways at Technical Director and beyond
  • A leadership team that backs technical excellence and long-term careers
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
  • Are a recognised technical leader in urban land development or civil engineering
  • Bring deep experience across subdivisions, industrial developments, and complex land projects
  • Have strong technical judgement and the confidence to guide teams and clients
  • Enjoy mentoring, influencing, and lifting capability around you
  • Balance technical detail with commercial awareness and strategic thinking
About You
  • Degree qualified in Civil Engineering
  • Chartered / RPEQ / CPEng (or equivalent) highly regarded
  • Extensive experience in urban land development and major projects
  • Proven leadership in a consultancy or similar professional environment
