Take full ownership of major vegetation clearance and civil works projects for leading utility and infrastructure clients. You’ll take ownership of large-scale vegetation clearance and civil works projects for major utility and infrastructure clients – setting the program, controlling the cost and making sure the work is delivered safely, on time and on budget.

Day to day, you’ll lead multiple field teams and subcontractors, track progress against program and forecast, manage variations, and report clearly to clients and senior leadership. Our current project is in the Mudgee NSW region, with future work spanning regional and remote locations across Australia.

Safety, environmental stewardship and quality are non-negotiable. You’ll be backed by a highly experienced team, a modern fleet of heavy specialised tree removal plant and vegetation management equipment and clear pathways into other senior leadership opportunities.
