We are currently seeking an experienced Civil Project Engineer to join a Tier 1 main contractor on a short-term contract basis, supporting the start-up phase of a recently awarded major water pipeline infrastructure project.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Project Engineer to play a key role during the early stages of a complex and high-profile infrastructure project, helping establish the engineering requirements and delivery framework before construction gets underway.

The Role

Based in the contractor's Brisbane CBD office, you will provide engineering support throughout the initial project start-up phase.

Your responsibilities will primarily include:

- Developing detailed scopes of work for upcoming project packages.
- Providing engineering input into project planning and mobilisation activities.
- Reviewing project requirements, specifications and technical documentation.
- Supporting the development of procurement and subcontractor packages.
- Assisting with constructability reviews and identifying potential project risks.
- Coordinating with internal engineering, commercial, procurement and project delivery teams.
- Resolving technical issues and providing practical engineering solutions.
- Undertaking other engineering activities required to establish the project for successful delivery.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced Civil Project Engineer with a strong background in the delivery of complex civil construction projects.

You will ideally have:

- 6+ years' post-graduation experience in civil construction.
- Demonstrated experience delivering complex infrastructure projects.
- Previous experience working through the start-up or mobilisation phase of a project is essential.
- Experience developing scopes of work, technical documentation and procurement packages.




- Strong understanding of construction methodologies and project delivery.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
- A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to identify what needs to be done and take ownership.
- Robust communication and stakeholder management skills.
- The ability to work effectively in a fast-paced project environment.

The Opportunity

This is more than just a short-term contract. You will have the opportunity to get involved at the beginning of a major and complex water infrastructure project, working alongside an experienced Tier 1 project team and helping shape the project as it moves from award into delivery.

You will be offered a competitive hourly rate, with the immediate benefit of an office-based role in Brisbane CBD and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution during a critical phase of the project.

If you are an experienced Civil Project Engineer who enjoys solving problems, working through project start-up challenges and getting projects ready for delivery, we would like to hear from you. For more information please call Rory on 0428 026 703 or email
