Senior Bridge Engineer

Our Melbourne based Transport Delivery team is currently working on a broad range of transport infrastructure projects involving bridges for the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) and other transport clients across Australia, delivering major upgrades, replacements, and refurbishment projects.

To support the delivery of work packages and meet the growing demand for our national bridge and maritime structures team, we are currently seeking a Senior Bridge Engineer to join our group.

This is an opportunity which suits someone ready to grow in their career, with strong technical leadership, project delivery capability, and client engagement while ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with relevant Australian standards, client requirements, and Stantec quality expectations.

The position contributes to the continued growth of the bridges and maritime structures team through technical excellence, collaboration, mentoring of junior staff, and participation in business development activities.
