About the role

We're looking for an experienced Project Engineer ready to take the next step up into a Senior Project Engineer role. This position carries real ownership — you'll be the technical backbone of the project, working closely with the Site Supervisor day-to-day and reporting into the Project Manager, but expected to operate independently without needing hand-holding from senior management. The role has a strong focus on concrete infrastructure delivery, with particular emphasis on FRP scope — from technical review through to in office execution.

Key responsibilities

- Take full ownership of the engineering delivery of concrete infrastructure projects, with a robust focus on FRP works

- Review and approve temporary works designs

- Review reinforcement drawings and schedules for compliance and constructability

- Review and sign off on concrete mix designs

- Manage material ordering and procurement to keep the program on track

- Update and maintain construction programs

- Maintain daily cost control and tracking, flagging variances early

- Work hand-in-hand with the Site Supervisor to solve problems in real time

- Report progress, risks and commercial issues up to the Project Manager

- Operate autonomously and be the trusted technical decision-maker on site





About you

- Minimum 5 years' experience on Australian construction projects

- Proven experience working with tier-1 and/or tier-2 builders

- Strong track record project managing concrete infrastructure works

- Solid understanding of FRP applications in civil/concrete construction (essential)

- Confident reviewing temporary works, reinforcement and concrete mix designs

- Comfortable managing cost control, procurement and programming without close supervision

- A self-starter who can stand alone on site — you won't need to lean on senior management to get things done

- Strong communicator who works well with site supervisors, subcontractors and project managers

- Relevant tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering (or equivalent industry experience)
