Job Description

Lithgow Area | $100K–$110K + Super + Vehicle | 35-Hour Week

n

Looking for an engineering role where you can get out from behind the desk and take ownership of real projects?

n

I'm recruiting a Project Engineer – Civil Engineering / Remediation for a government organisation managing a large and technically interesting site in the Lithgow area.

n

This is a broad, hands‐on role combining civil project management, contractor supervision, site infrastructure, environmental compliance and environmental remediation works.

n

You'll work across a range of projects involving civil works, water management, containment systems, earthworks and site remediation, while coordinating contractors and consultants and helping ensure works are delivered safely and effectively.

n

Why consider it?

n

n
- $100K–$110K + super + vehicle
n
- 35‐hour working week
n
- Secure role with a government organisation
n
- Interesting, long‐term civil and remediation projects
n
- Genuine project ownership rather than being stuck doing one narrow function
n
- Mix of site‐based work, project management and technical input
n
- Opportunity to develop experience across civil, environmental and dam‐related projects
n
- Training can be provided in specialist areas such as dam management
n

n

What you'll be doing

n

You'll work closely with site management, consultants and contractors and take responsibility for activities including:

n

n
- Supervising and project managing civil works and contractors
n
- Developing and reviewing project plans and programs
n
- Monitoring works against budgets, programs and project objectives
n
- Coordinating contractors, consultants and other stakeholders
n
- Assisting with the design and delivery of water management,



containment and remediation systems
n
- Undertaking site and infrastructure inspections and arranging maintenance or repairs
n
- Supporting major civil works associated with the remediation and closure of former industrial infrastructure
n
- Reviewing site activities and identifying opportunities to reduce risk, improve compliance and control costs
n
- Preparing explicit technical and project reports
n
- Supporting environmental, WHS and regulatory compliance across the site
n

n

What I'm looking for

n

Ideally, you'll have 3+ years' professional experience and a background in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline.

n

You don't need to have done everything listed above. This could suit someone from a civil consultancy, contractor, infrastructure, earthworks, water, environmental or remediation background who wants a broader role with more project ownership.

n

You'll need to be comfortable working with contractors, solving problems on site and managing multiple priorities.

n

Strong communication and report-writing skills are important, along with the ability to work independently.

n

A White Card and Australian driver's licence are required.

n

Experience with environmental legislation, approvals, GIS, remediation, water management or dam infrastructure would be useful, but isn't essential across every area.

n

NB: "Water Infrastructure Design experience" is not a requirement of this role. Mistakenly added to questions list and (stupidly) it cannot be removed!

n

Interested?

n

If you're a suitably experienced Civil Engineer or Project Officer looking for a stable, varied role with a 35-hour week, vehicle and interesting long‐term projects in the Lithgow area, I'd be keen to hear from you.
