Are you an experienced Project Engineer looking for a genuine challenge where you’re given real autonomy and accountability for commercial outcomes?

This is an prospect to join a leading Tier 2 civil infrastructure contractor where you’ll have genuine ownership across project delivery, with a strong focus on the commercial side of construction.

The role offers the best of both worlds — predominantly office-based project delivery with regular site visits, giving you the prospect to stay connected to what's happening on the ground without being tied to site every day.

This is not a purely site-based engineering position. The successful candidate will have a solid interest in the commercial side of project delivery, including variations, cost management, subcontractor administration and contractual matters.
