\n

We are seeking a recent Graduate Civil Engineer to join our Rail & Metro team in Melbourne.

\n

As a Graduate at SMEC, you’ll be part of a high-impact talent group, contributing to the delivery of major rail and metro infrastructure projects alongside experienced engineers and technical specialists.

\n

Our two-year Graduate Development Program (GDP) is designed to accelerate your growth — combining hands-on project experience with structured learning, mentoring, and exposure across teams and disciplines.

\n

What you can expect:

\n

    \n
  • Real project exposure from day one across major rail and transport infrastructure projects
  • \n
  • A connected ANZ graduate network and strong peer community

  • \n
  • Ongoing development beyond the GDP, with support for further study
  • \n

\n

Key responsibilities:

\n

You’ll support the delivery of real infrastructure projects from day one — contributing to design, analysis and documentation while learning from experienced engineers and gaining exposure to site and project delivery.

\n

    \n
  • Contribute to the delivery of real projects by supporting design development, including drawings, models and technical documentation
  • \n
  • Assist with engineering calculations and analysis across areas such as roads, drainage or structures under guidance from senior engineers
  • \n
  • Participate in site visits and inspections to develop an understanding of how designs are implemented on live projects
  • \n
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate design inputs and support project delivery milestones
  • \n
  • Learn and apply industry standards, tools and best practice through structured development and on-the-job experience
  • \n

\n

About You

\n

You’re a motivated Civil Engineering graduate who enjoys problem-solving, working in teams, and contributing to real-world projects.

\n

You will bring:

\n

    \n
  • A degree in Civil Engineering (or related discipline)
  • \n
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • \n
  • Exposure to design tools such as AutoCAD or Civil 3D (12D or similar advantageous)
  • \n
