3mo ago , from Infrastructure Business Growth Pty Ltd
IBG is working with an established infrastructure services contractor to appoint a Senior Project Engineer / Manager into its Sydney transport infrastructure team. The role leads pre-delivery activities across a road asset portfolio - bridges, culverts, slopes and pavements - under a long-term government performance contract. It sits between design and construction: translating engineering intent into client-ready outcomes while managing schedules, risk, documentation and delivery readiness. This is a 12-month fixed term position covering a parental leave absence, with potential for ongoing engagement at conclusion of the contract. The role requires a high degree of autonomy across client relationships, technical delivery and team coordination.
About the role
Pre-delivery ownership across assigned road infrastructure projects - planning, design oversight, stakeholder coordination and handover readiness. You'll review designs against Austroads, AS/NZS codes and state authority requirements, manage risk registers and schedules, and keep deliverables on track for quality and completeness before construction begins. Direct client and authority liaison is a consistent part of the role, as is mentoring junior engineers.
