Step into a Senior Project Engineer role where your decisions genuinely shape outcomes.

We’re partnering with a quick-growing Queensland civil contractor to find an ambitious Senior Project Engineer ready to take ownership, work closely with respected leaders, and help deliver complex civil infrastructure projects across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and regional Queensland.

"There’s a great balance of autonomy and support, you’re trusted to get on with the job, but help is always available when needed."

What Sets This Role Apart

You get the room to operate like a true project leader, while still being backed by capable, down-to‑earth people who want you to succeed.

"Coming from a more rigid top‑tier environment, this has been a refreshing and energising change."
