Project/Site Engineer

We’re looking for a motivated Project/Site Engineer to join a Tier 2 civil construction company delivering high-value infrastructure projects across regional and remote Australia.

With a strong track record in structural concrete works (bridges, stormwater, and energy projects including wind turbine foundations), this is a chance to step into a role where you’ll take ownership, grow your expertise, and work on projects that make a lasting impact.

The Role

You’ll play a key role in coordinating and delivering site-based engineering functions – ensuring projects are completed safely, on time, and to the highest standard.

• FIFO/DIDO flexibility with a 2/1 roster
• LAFHA provided + accommodation
• Major 100m³ wind turbine foundation project
• Hands-on site-based PE role (not desk-based)

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate on-site engineering activities in line with specifications, timelines, and budget.
• Develop construction methodologies and detailed work plans.
• Maintain and report on 4-week look-ahead, delay notices, EOT claims, and construction programs.
• Provide accurate reporting on cost, time, and quality metrics.
• Drive value-engineered solutions and support procurement and subcontractor management.
• Ensure QA documentation, ITPs, and safety standards are met to the highest level.
• Lead site coordination meetings and provide engineering support to supervisors and crews.
• Identify project risks and manage variations and contractual claims.

Training & Development

• Structured onboarding and a tailored Project Management Training Program.
• Hands-on training in QA systems, ASTA PowerProject, and WHS procedures.
• Opportunities for career development planning, mentoring, and leadership.

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or construction management.
• 3–6 years of civil infrastructure experience, ideally site-based.
• Strong background in structural concrete, bridges, or stormwater projects.
• Proactive, hands-on approach – comfortable working directly onsite.
• Competence in QA systems, WHS compliance, and construction documentation.
• Proficiency in ASTA PowerProject and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and interpersonal skills.

What Success Looks Like

• Projects delivered safely on time, and to specification.
• Strong stakeholder relationships and well-managed subcontractors.
• Risks identified early with practical solutions.
• QA and safety documentation maintained to audit-ready standards.

Why Join?

This is your chance to work with a respected civil contractor delivering critical infrastructure that makes a lasting impact on regional communities. You’ll join a supportive and system-driven team that values safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.
