Civils QA Inspector – Telecommunications Infrastructure | Sydney
3-Month Initial Contract, with Extension | Highly Competitive Rate
You'll be working on infrastructure for one of the world's largest hyperscalers, right here in Sydney, as the independent set of eyes making sure the job gets done to standard.
No two days will look the same. You'll be out on site, not stuck behind a desk, and your reports will genuinely shape how the project runs.
What's In It For You
Work on a high-profile, large-scale hyperscale infrastructure project from the ground up
Genuine autonomy — you'll own your sites, your schedule, and your reporting
A rate that reflects the specialised skill set this role demands
The chance to build a track record on a marquee project that'll stand out on your CV
Strong potential for contract extension beyond the initial 3 months as the project progresses
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You'll be the person contractors and project teams turn to for an honest, accurate read on how the works are really progressing. That means:
Getting out on site to inspect trenching, ducting, chambers, site set‐up, and reinstatement work
Calling out anything that doesn't meet design specs, safety standards, or quality expectations — and making sure the right people hear about it
Tracking progress against the programme and flagging delays or issues before they become bigger problems
Keeping accurate records of where work is happening, using GIS and tablet‐based mapping tools
Taking photos and keeping detailed notes so there's a explicit trail of what happened, when




Writing up daily reports that are clear enough for someone who wasn't there to understand exactly what's going on
Spotting and reporting safety concerns on the spot — never walking past something unsafe
Keeping contractors, project teams, and local authorities in the loop and working toward solutions
Is This You?
Notices the details other people miss
Isn't afraid to have a direct conversation with a contractor about substandard work
Writes clearly and reports facts, not just impressions
Enjoys being out in the field and managing your own day
Genuinely understands ground conditions and reinstatement — not just from a manual, but from experience
