Job description

The Company

Join a well-established Tier 3 civil contractor known for delivering complex infrastructure and construction projects up to $25M. With a workforce of over 100 employees, they specialise in Rail, Solar, Remediation, Bulk Earthworks, and Roadworks.
 
Their growing building division focuses on negotiated Design & Construct projects across the commercial and hospitality sectors. With a hands-on Director and senior leadership team, the business prioritises mentoring, staff development, and building long-term client relationships rather than competing in the volatile tender market.
 
Why Join?
  • Strong leadership with a progressive and supportive culture
  • Senior management actively involved on the ground, fostering a collaborative, ego-free environment
  • Consistent project pipeline through repeat business and negotiated contracts
  • High employee engagement and low turnover
  • Build real relationships—internally and with long-standing clients
The Role

We are seeking a Senior Project Engineer with solid experience in bulk excavation and Tier 1 building environments. You’ll play a critical role in early-stage planning, client liaison, subcontractor management, and program delivery.

Working alongside an experienced Site Manager, you’ll manage multiple packages valued up to $10M and take ownership of financial tracking, safety, and project outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Oversee planning and delivery of bulk excavation and associated civil works
  • Manage programs, budgets, subcontractors, and client communications
  • Contribute to tender and pre-construction phases
  • Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards
Ideal Background:
  • Proven experience delivering excavation, roadworks, and infrastructure packages
  • Background working on Tier 1 or large-scale commercial building projects
  • Strong stakeholder and subcontractor management
  • Ability to lead and manage multiple works concurrently
  • Sound commercial and programming skills
  • Excellent communication and decision-making abilities
  • Proficient with project management software and reporting tools
