Following the recent award of a flagship 25+ storey luxury residential tower on the Gold Coast, one of South East Queensland's most respected Tier 2 builders is looking to expand its site team. Known for their exceptional team culture, top-tier systems, and a massive pipeline of high-profile projects, this builder offers the perfect environment to build your career.

The position will be tailored to your current experience level, with structured mentoring provided by an industry-leading Project Manager and Senior Project Engineer.

- Site Coordination & Subcontractor Management: Assist in coordinating site activities, ensuring trades are working safely, to schedule, and in line with construction drawings.
- Quality Assurance (QA) & Quality Control (QC): Conduct rigorous ITPs (Inspection Test Plans), pre-pour checks,



and defect management to ensure the project meets luxury finishing standards.

- Safety & Compliance: Champion site safety, assisting with inductions, toolbox talks, and SWMS reviews.
- Problem Solving: Identify on-site clashes or constructability issues early and work with the project team to find practical solutions.

- Qualifications: Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering, Construction Management, or similar (Final year students/Cadets are highly encouraged to apply).
- Experience: Ranging from 0 to 4 years in the commercial or multi-residential construction space. (Previous exposure to structural concrete, high-rise, or luxury residential is a bonus, but not essential for cadets).
- Technical Skills:



Ability to read and interpret complex architectural and engineering plans.
