Due to a robust pipeline of work heading into 2026 and beyond, the team is seeking a motivated Site / Project Engineer to help drive delivery across high-stakes Victorian sites.
The Role
Reporting to the Project Manager, the successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the day-to-day technical and commercial management of major civil packages.

- Tracking project costs, variations, and monthly progress claims.

- Infrastructure: Inground services, drainage, and foundation works.
- Finishing: Asphalting, pavements, and final site tie-ins.

- Experience: Ideally 2-4 years of post-graduate experience within the Australian civil construction market.
- Local Knowledge: A strong understanding of Victorian site conditions, local standards, and subcontractor networks.
- Technical Proficiency: Proven experience managing scopes involving bulk excavation, demolition, and inground services.
- Communication: The ability to influence stakeholders and clearly communicate technical requirements to site teams.
