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 robust 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 solid 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)
