ABOUT THE PROJECT
We're proud to partner with Uniting to deliver the staged redevelopment of the Nareen Gardens precinct at Bateau Bay, a significant seniors living project on the NSW Central Coast.
The full redevelopment will deliver a modern, integrated seniors living community comprising independent living units, residential aged care and shared community facilities, constructed across two major stages.
Stage 1, now commencing, includes demolition of existing buildings and construction of 76 new independent living units, with a further 106 units planned in Stage 2, bringing the total to 182 homes upon completion.
As a redevelopment within an active, live operational retirement village, the project requires careful planning, strict staging, and a strong focus on resident safety, communication and continuity of access.
This is a complex and highly rewarding environment for an experienced Project Engineer who enjoys early-stage project involvement and structured delivery.
You'll be joining the project at site establishment, ahead of demolition works, providing a rare chance to influence methodology, sequencing and systems from day one, with strong continuity expected through to Stage 2 delivery.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Project Engineer, you'll play a key role in establishing and delivering Stage 1 of the Nareen Gardens redevelopment.
Reporting to the Senior Project Manager and working alongside the Senior Contract Administrator, you'll take ownership of design coordination, quality assurance, engineering documentation and site coordination throughout the early works, demolition and construction phases.
You'll also provide leadership to Site Coordinators, Graduates and Cadets, helping build capability within the project team while ensuring high standards of safety, quality and programme control are maintained.
This role is well suited to a Project Engineer who enjoys being involved from the very start of a project, is comfortable working within live environments, and wants exposure to multi-stage delivery with a strong client relationship.
