A gearbox assembly for a turbine engine. The gearbox assembly includes a gearbox having a plurality of gears, and a scavenge gutter radially outward of the gearbox and mounted to a fan frame flange of a fan frame of the turbine engine, the scavenge gutter being configured to collect lubricant that is ejected by the plurality of gears of the gearbox during rotation of the plurality of gears. An interface between the fan frame flange and the scavenge gutter is located at a first radial distance R1 relative to a longitudinal centerline axis of the turbine engine and the scavenge gutter is located at a second radial distance R2 relative to the longitudinal centerline axis. The second radial distance R2 is greater than the first radial distance R1. The scavenge gutter is segmented and includes a plurality of sector portions joined together to form the scavenge gutter.
