- Location: Open to NSW or QLD based candidates. All flights, accommodation, and travel are fully covered.

Key Responsibilities
- Technical & Design: Manage technical inputs, RFIs, and design coordination to keep site construction moving smoothly.
- Procurement & Subcontractors:



Coordinate specialised procurement packages, long-lead materials, and subcontractor site activities.
- Planning & Project Controls: Support or lead critical elements of project planning, short-term scheduling, and client reporting.
- Problem Solving: Resolve complex construction and delivery challenges live in the field.
- QA & Handover: Own as-built documentation, technical hold points, cable/termination schedules, and asset acceptance requirements.
- Team Collaboration: Work closely with Project Managers, frontline construction crews, and technical specialists to drive a zero-harm safety culture.

Requirements:
