Build relationships. Win work. Deliver practical civil outcomes.
Jaydo is a Victorian civil construction contractor with a strong reputation for delivering water, sewerage, drainage and related infrastructure works across Victoria. We are known for our long-term client relationships, practical delivery approach, experienced field crews and self-perform capability.
We are looking for a hands-on

This role would suit someone who has worked for a civil contractor delivering projects for local councils, water authorities or similar infrastructure clients, and who enjoys being involved across both the front end and delivery stages of a project.

minor civil works, council projects and water authority infrastructure projects

Assisting with estimating, tender submissions and pricing
Reviewing scopes, drawings, specifications and site requirements
Building and maintaining relationships with council and water authority clients
Supporting project planning,



procurement and resource coordination
Working closely with supervisors, crews and subcontractors during delivery
Monitoring project costs, program, quality and safety requirements
Helping ensure projects are delivered practically, commercially and to client expectations
Projects may include drainage upgrades, culvert works, stormwater infrastructure, waterways, desilting, erosion control, wetlands, environmental civil works and other local authority / water authority infrastructure works.
Typical project values may range from smaller minor works through to projects around the
$200k to $1M
range.
About you
You may currently be working as a:
Civil Engineer
Junior Project Manager
Estimator with civil delivery experience
Supervisor with strong technical / commercial capability
Ideally, you will have experience working for a
civil contractor
delivering works for
councils, water authorities or infrastructure clients
.
You will bring:
Civil construction experience, ideally in water, drainage, council or minor works
Ability to read drawings, understand scopes and assess constructability
Experience supporting project estimates, tenders or pricing




Robust communication and client relationship skills
A practical, hands-on approach to solving project issues
Confidence working with supervisors, crews and subcontractors
Commercial awareness and attention to cost, program and scope
A genuine interest in helping grow a steady pipeline of repeat client work
Most importantly, you will be someone who can build trust with clients, understand what needs to be delivered, and work with the team to get the job done properly.
Why Jaydo?
At Jaydo, you will be joining a business with established relationships, a strong repeat client base and in-house field capability across civil and water infrastructure works.
We offer:
A practical, contractor-side role with real ownership
Exposure to both tendering and delivery
Established relationships with water authorities and civil infrastructure clients
Strong support from experienced supervisors, crews and management
The opportunity to help grow council and minor works opportunities
A business that values long-term client relationships and quality delivery
This is a great opportunity for a Project Engineer who wants more involvement in the commercial and client-facing side of civil construction, while still remaining close to project delivery.
Interested?
If you are a hands-on Civil Project Engineer with experience in council, water authority, drainage or civil infrastructure works, we would like to hear from you.
