TITLE:

Principal Roads Engineer
Are you a well-connected industry leader ready to take the next step in your career?
KBR is expanding our transport infrastructure presence in South Australia, and we’re looking for an experienced Principal Roads Engineer to lead this growth. This is more than a technical role — it’s a strategic opportunity to build a team, shape our market offering, and establish yourself as a future leader of our transport business in Adelaide.
As part of our Civil Infrastructure team, you will play a central role in developing local capability, fostering client relationships, and delivering complex and high-profile road and highway projects. We’re seeking someone with strong market insight, excellent industry connections, and a proven ability to lead and inspire teams.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Build and lead a high-performing Adelaide-based transport team, mentoring engineers and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Deliver major roads and highways projects from concept to detailed design.
• Leverage your market knowledge and network to help grow our business across South Australia.
• Provide strategic and technical leadership across multidisciplinary project teams.
• Oversee project operations including quality assurance, risk mitigation, and cost control.
• Collaborate with clients, government bodies (including DIT), and stakeholders to deliver integrated and innovative solutions.
• Champion digital engineering practices including 12D modelling, BIM integration, and ProjectWise coordination.

WHY THIS ROLE?

This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead the future of KBR’s transport offering in Adelaide. With major projects underway and more on the horizon, we’re investing in long-term growth — and we want you to be at the forefront. There is significant career potential to step into a leadership position with responsibility for this area of the business.
