We are currently working with a national civil contractor with over 50 years of successful operations across Australia. With a strong reputation for quality delivery and a genuine commitment to its people, the business is continuing to grow organically across South East Queensland.

Following a number of recent appointments to its senior leadership team, the business is now looking to appoint an experienced Civil Project Manager to join the team on a full time basis.

This is an opportunity to join a well-established, family-owned business that offers stability, strong project pipelines and a genuine long-term career path — without the need to travel away from Brisbane.

The Role

As Civil Project Manager, you will take ownership of the successful delivery of urban development projects valued up to $20M, managing projects from planning and mobilisation through to completion.

Typical projects involve:

- Bulk earthworks
- Stormwater and underground utilities
- Sewer and water infrastructure
- Retaining walls
- Roadworks and pavements
- Subdivision infrastructure
- General civil and urban development works

You will be responsible for leading project teams, managing commercial and contractual outcomes,



coordinating subcontractors and suppliers, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

- The ability to lead project teams and manage multiple stakeholders
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- A strong understanding of project planning, programming and cost control
- A relevant Civil Engineering qualification
- A genuine desire to build a long-term career with one organisation

Candidates with a robust bulk earthworks background will also be considered, provided they have the broader project management capability and are looking to take the next step within urban development.

Why Join?





This is more than simply another Project Manager position.The business is experiencing organic growth in South East Queensland, backed by a long-term pipeline of work and a newly strengthened senior leadership team. You will be joining an organisation that has been operating successfully in Australia for more than five decades and has built its reputation around delivering quality projects while genuinely looking after its people.

You can expect:

- Long-term, secure work across South East Queensland

- Projects across both the North and South sides of Brisbane
- A strong pipeline of urban development work
- The opportunity to manage projects up to $20M

- The opportunity to work alongside an experienced and recently strengthened senior leadership team

The Opportunity

If you are a seasoned Civil Project Manager who enjoys delivering quality subdivision and urban development projects and is looking for a company where you can build a career rather than simply move from project to project, this could be an excellent opportunity.

We are particularly interested in speaking with ambitious Civil Engineers who are career-focused, motivated and looking for long-term stability with a business that genuinely values its employees. ••••@cgcrecruitment.com
