371⁄2-hour week, no more 6.30am pre-starts — run your own dayGenuine leadership pathway: build and lead a team within years55 years strong, employee-owned — real stability, a real say Civil Construction Engineer (Superintendent / CA) – Leadership PathwayAbout our clientOur client is a Brisbane engineering consultancy with 55 years behind them and no plans to slow down.
Employee-owned, which means the people doing the work also have a stake in how it's done — not a distant head office calling the shots.
They've built a genuine reputation across civil and structural work over more than five decades, and they're now investing in something current: a dedicated construction management capability, built from the ground up.About the roleThis is a build-it-yourself opportunity, and it's genuinely a step up rather than a sideways move.
You'll be the first person into a newly forming construction management team, taking on the superintendent role across subdivision and urban development sites — and over the next couple of years, if you're up for it, growing into the person who leads that team.
This isn't a site engineer role sitting inside a contractor.
You'll be on the client side, running stage inspections largely unsupervised — stormwater, reinforcement, road proof rolls, water and sewer pre-sales — while owning the superintendent function: assessing progress claims, variation claims and extensions of time, and reviewing QA data post-construction.
There's experienced backup from the senior contracts team while you build out the more complex dispute-management side, but the day-to-day inspection and assessment work is yours to run.
No more 6.30am pre-starts as standard.
