Senior Drainage Engineer

KBR, as part of the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East Linewide Alliance, is proud to be helping deliver one of Australia's most significant infrastructure projects.

SRL is a city-shaping program that will transform how people live, work and move around Melbourne. The 90km orbital rail line will connect every major train line, link key precincts, and support thriving communities across the city. SRL East, the first stage of the project, will deliver 26km of twin underground tunnels and six new stations between Cheltenham and Box Hill.

As part of the Linewide Alliance, KBR is delivering critical design services across civil, structural, track, drainage, power, systems and infrastructure disciplines that will support safe and reliable operations of the future rail network.

As a Senior Drainage Engineer, you’ll lead the delivery of major transport projects across Victoria. You’ll take ownership of drainage design from concept to completion—shaping solutions for roads, rail, and other large‑scale infrastructure.

You’ll lead design teams, mentor emerging engineers, and manage project delivery to meet quality, safety, budget, and schedule expectations. You’ll also play a key role in building strong client relationships and producing clear, accurate, and technically robust reports and proposals.

This role places you at the forefront of high‑impact projects shaping Australia’s transport networks for decades to come.

You’re an accomplished Senior Drainage Engineer with extensive experience delivering civil infrastructure projects. You bring advanced technical expertise, a collaborative approach, and confidence leading multidisciplinary teams.

  • A degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent)
  • Extensive experience delivering infrastructure projects with consultants, contractors, and government agencies
  • Advanced drainage design skills and proficiency in modelling software
  • Strong knowledge of relevant design codes (Austroads, State Transport Authority guidelines)
  • Chartered Professional Engineer status (or ability to achieve within six months)

KBR’s Infrastructure Services team is shaping a smarter, more sustainable future for Australia. We deliver solutions across transport, water, defence, and the built environment, partnering with clients nationwide throughout every stage of the project lifecycle.

With more than 1,200 experts across the country, we bring global insights and local understanding together. Our teams are digitally enabled, agile, and focused on delivering positive social and environmental outcomes.
