Job Description

Ready to take the next step in your project management career?

n

If you’ve built your foundations as a Site Engineer, Project Engineer or within civil construction, and you’re ready to take greater ownership of projects, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

n

You’ll be joining a well-established, second-generation organisation with over 40 years of experience across the Civil, Mechanical and Environmental disciplines.

n

Based out of Eraring Power Station, you’ll be working closely with one of Australia’s largest energy providers, supporting projects across a complex and highly operational environment.

n

This isn’t about stepping into a senior PM role and being expected to know everything from day one.

n

It’s about taking the experience you’ve built across engineering, construction or project delivery and using it to step up, broaden your project management capability and take ownership of meaningful infrastructure projects.

n

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, technical specialists, contractors and client-side stakeholders, giving you plenty of opportunity to learn while getting your hands on the delivery side of projects.

n

What you’ll be doing

n

Working closely with the Ash Dam Operations Manager and Supervisor, you’ll play an significant role in coordinating and delivering ongoing works and projects across a tailings dam environment.

n

You’ll be involved in:

n

n
- Coordinating civil and infrastructure projects from planning through to delivery and completion
n
- Working closely with contractors, subcontractors, consultants and client-side stakeholders
n
- Supporting project planning, programmes, budgets, resources and reporting
n
- Coordinating site activities and making sure projects continue to move forward
n
- Identifying and managing project risks, issues and changes
n
- Reviewing designs, methodologies and proposed solutions to ensure they are practical and fit for purpose
n
- Supporting inspections, technical investigations and project documentation
n




- Working with engineers and technical specialists to resolve project and delivery challenges
n
- Communicating regularly with the client and keeping key stakeholders across project progress
n
- Looking for opportunities to improve existing processes, methodologies and infrastructure
n

n

Projects will span areas including bulk earthworks, civil infrastructure, materials, dam-related infrastructure and remediation, as well as emerging solutions involving ash beneficiation, cement products and new materials.

n

You’ll get exposure to the full project lifecycle, while working in an environment where technical understanding and practical project delivery go hand in hand.

n

What you’ll bring

n

We’re looking for someone with around 3–5 years’ experience across civil engineering, construction or project delivery.

n

You might currently be working as a Site Engineer, Project Engineer or even a Junior Project Manager.

n

Your experience could have been gained within civil construction, infrastructure, mining, energy, heavy industry or an engineering consultancy.

n

We’re open to different career pathways. You might have spent the last few years working on site for a civil contractor, coordinating construction activities and subcontractors. Or perhaps you’ve come from an engineering background and have gradually taken on more responsibility for project delivery.

n

Either way, we’re looking for someone ready to take that next step.

n

You’ll ideally have some experience across:

n

n
- Civil construction or infrastructure projects
n
- Contractor, subcontractor and consultant coordination
n
- Project planning, programmes, budgets and reporting
n
- Client and stakeholder communication
n
- Project risk, quality and safety
n
- Site coordination and resource planning
n




- Managing project issues and finding practical solutions
n
- Working within complex or operational environments
n

n

Experience across bulk earthworks, civil infrastructure, structural works, remediation, dams or heavy industry would be highly regarded.

n

Your technical background will also be important.

n

You don't need to be the person doing the engineering design, but you should be comfortable understanding technical requirements, reviewing proposed solutions and having credible conversations with engineers and specialists.

n

Most importantly, you’re someone who is ready to take ownership.

n

You’re comfortable picking up the phone, working through an issue with a contractor or client, asking questions when you don’t know something and finding a practical way forward.

n

You don’t need to be a seasoned Project Manager.

n

If you’re a technically capable Site or Project Engineer who is ready to broaden your project management experience, this could be a great opportunity to make that move.

n

Your new organisation

n

Based in Lake Macquarie, SNK Group is a second-generation, family-owned business with over 40 years of experience delivering across the mining, energy and heavy industry sectors.

n

They’ve built a reputation for being dependable, practical and solutions-focused, the kind of team clients trust to deliver in complex and high-risk environments like Eraring Power Station.

n

What sets them apart is their hands-on, engineering-led approach.

n

You’re not just another number here. You’ll be working alongside experienced engineers and specialists who genuinely care about quality outcomes and continuous improvement.

n

Alongside meaningful and technically challenging work, you’ll also benefit from:

n

n
- Monthly RDOs
n
- Company vehicle
n
- Working alongside highly experienced engineering and technical specialists
n
- Exposure to major energy infrastructure and complex projects
n
- A collaborative team environment where you’ll have the opportunity to learn and develop
