Job Description

Join a landmark infrastructure project that’s set to make a lasting impact on the community - the Youngs Crossing Road upgrade. This major civil construction initiative will improve flood resilience, enhance traffic flow, and deliver a safer, more efficient connection for thousands of road users each day.

We’re seeking Site Engineers to help deliver key civil infrastructure works, including widening and realigning the road to four lanes, undertaking major earthworks and pavement construction, building retaining walls, upgrading intersections, installing new drainage systems and relocating essential underground services.

  • Demonstrated experience delivering civil infrastructure projects, with proven experience in roadworks (earthworks, pavements and drainage).
  • Exposure to preparation of contractual claims and variations.
  • Knowledge of safety legislation, Australian Standards and industry codes.
  • Strong planning, monitoring and reporting capabilities to support effective project delivery.
  • Thorough understanding of client specifications and the ability to produce ITPs for specific trades.
  • Ability to produce and manage project schedules, including critical path networks and preparation, monitoring and updating of short‑term production bar charts.
  • Knowledge of head and subcontract agreements, as well as project scope management, including contractual change procedures and distribution of responsibilities among project stakeholders.

Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.
