• Support preparation of:
• Earthworks specifications
• Investigation scopes
• Design reports and technical memoranda
• Construction planning documentation
• Liaise with engineers, project managers, and contractors to ensure geological considerations are appropriately addressed
• Conduct site inspections as required to confirm conditions and provide practical advice

Essential Requirements

• Degree‑qualified in Geology or Civil/Geotechnical Engineering
• Demonstrated experience in civil works, infrastructure, or engineering geology gained through work in regional WA, SA or NT
• Strong understanding of:
• WA geological conditions
• Earthworks and engineered materials
• Appropriate relevance of geology in civil construction
• Ability to translate geological information into practical, construction‑focused advice
• Well-developed written and verbal communication skills
• Current Australian work rights
• “C” class driver’s licence

Desirable Experience

• Experience working alongside civil or geotechnical engineering teams
• Familiarity with Australian Standards relevant to earthworks and pavements
• Previous consulting or project‑based work
• Site‑based experience in WA regional environments
