Senior Project Engineer

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years.

You will take ownership of complex civil construction activities, leading teams, coordinating subcontractors and driving safe, efficient delivery. Working closely with the Project Manager and wider JV team, you will balance program, quality and commercial outcomes while mentoring engineers and setting the standard for how work is delivered on site.

• Leading on-site civil construction activities across allocated scopes

We are looking for candidates who demonstrate:

• Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) essential
• Strong experience delivering civil infrastructure projects
• Proven ability to manage subcontractors and site teams

• Supportive team culture and a positive working environment where collaboration is key.
• Access to corporate discounts for various services and products.
• Opportunities to work on high-profile projects with a long-term future in the industry.
