Senior Engineering Officer

Part-Time/Contract Position – 40 to 45hrs per fortnight The Shire of Waroona, located in Western Australia's Peel Region, offers a relaxed country lifestyle nestled between the scenic forests of the Darling Scarp and the fishing-friendly beaches of the Indian Ocean.

Conveniently located between Mandurah and Bunbury, Waroona provides the perfect balance of regional living while remaining within easy reach of major urban centres.

Looking to slow down without stepping away? After years of building your engineering career, you may be looking for something different, an opportunity to continue using your knowledge and experience while enjoying greater flexibility and work-life balance.

The Shire of Waroona is seeking an experienced Senior Engineering Officer to provide specialist engineering advice and technical support to our Infrastructure Services team. This flexible parttime position is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving problems, mentoring others and contributing to meaningful community outcomes without the demands of a full-time operational role.

Whether you're approaching retirement, semi-retired, or simply looking for a role with fewer hours and greater flexibility, we'd love to hear from you. Rather than managing large teams or spending every day on site, you'll use your expertise to help shape the future of our roads, bridges and civil infrastructure.

Working closely with the Executive Manager Infrastructure Services, you'll provide trusted technical advice across civil infrastructure, capital works, asset management, project planning, engineering assessments, design reviews, and development-related engineering matters.

Why join us? At the Shire of Waroona, you'll become part of a friendly, supportive and collaborative team that values experience and practical knowledge. In return, we offer flexible working arrangements, meaningful and varied work, a supportive team environment, competitive remuneration, and the opportunity to make a real impact while enjoying the lifestyle benefits of regional living. A flexible remuneration package will be negotiated with the successful applicant, recognising the experience and expertise they bring to the role.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume and responses to the selection criteria, as outlined in the application package available on our website at www.waroona.wa.gov.au.

Applications should be clearly marked "Private and Confidential – HR.2627.008 – Senior Engineering Officer" and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Friday, 30th October 2026 .
