Why Join?

Permanent full time opportunity, engaging with a multi-disciplinary team

Work on meaningful infrastructure that supports local communities

Exposure to complex engineering and construction challenges

We’re proud to partner with Uniting to deliver the staged redevelopment of the Nareen Gardens precinct at Bateau Bay, a significant seniors living project on the NSW Central Coast.

The full redevelopment will deliver a modern, integrated seniors living community comprising independent living units, residential aged care and shared community facilities, constructed across two major stages.

Stage 1, now commencing, includes demolition of existing buildings and construction of 76 new independent living units, with a further 106 units planned in Stage 2, bringing the total to 182 homes upon completion.

As a redevelopment within an active, live operational retirement village, the project requires careful planning, strict staging, and a strong focus on resident safety, communication and continuity of access. This is a complex and highly rewarding environment for an experienced Project Engineer who enjoys early-stage project involvement and structured delivery.

You’ll be joining the project at site establishment, ahead of demolition works, providing a rare opportunity to influence methodology, sequencing and systems from day one, with strong continuity expected through to Stage 2 delivery.

At Newkey Consulting, we are committed to diversity and inclusion, ensuring everyone is valued, respected, and empowered. We put people first.
