Join our Canberra Water team and play a hands-on role in the delivery of one of the ACT's largest and most significant water infrastructure projects.
We're looking for a Site Engineer (Mechanical) to join the team delivering the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre Upgrade. Working alongside experienced engineers and construction professionals, you'll be involved in the installation and commissioning of critical mechanical systems, coordinate site activities, and help deliver infrastructure that will support Canberra's growing population for decades to come.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure to a complex wastewater treatment project, work with a collaborative and supportive team, and build your career on a project that will leave a lasting legacy for the Canberra community. Recent graduates with a Mechanical Engineering degree and a strong interest in water infrastructure are also encouraged to apply.
The Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) Upgrade is a major wastewater infrastructure project in Canberra, ACT, being delivered for Icon Water under its Major Projects Delivery Program. The project is being undertaken through a joint venture between Seymour Whyte and VINCI Construction Grands Projets, alongside design partner Beca HunterH2O, bringing together expertise in large-scale water and civil infrastructure delivery.
The project involves upgrading and expanding the existing wastewater treatment facility to improve treatment efficiency, increase plant capacity, and support Canberra’s growing population. Key works include the construction of a new membrane bioreactor capable of treating up to 97 megalitres of wastewater per day, along with upgrades to critical treatment systems across the plant. Sustainability is also a key focus, with initiatives including renewable energy use, recycled water during construction, and the reuse of on-site materials where possible.
We are a successful civil contracting business that has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.
As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want.
Many of our projects are located in regional areas or on sites without access to public transport, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.
Seymour Whyte is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, including veterans.
Our commitment to an equitable construction industry extends to an inclusive culture that embraces our differences and gives everyone the opportunity to grow and be equally valued. We're unified in our direction toward having a workplace that is balanced and fair for all.
Veterans are encouraged to apply.
