About Us

Maw Civil Marine specialises in marine, coastal and major civil works, including seawalls and revetments, shoreline erosion repair, bulk earthworks, dam construction and upgrades, and wetland construction. We combine specialist plant operation with skilled manual labour to deliver major and minor projects for councils, coastal authorities and private industry.

We’re a niche, hands-on team, so decisions get made quickly and your work is visible in the finished job.

About The Role

Reporting to the Directors, you’ll oversee projects from tender through to delivery and client handover. Works include wharf and jetty construction, coastal protection, marine infrastructure, piling, dredging and associated civil works.

You’ll be based at our Dromana office and on project sites across the Peninsula and the Victorian coast; rarely in the CBD. This is a hands-on role: you’ll be on site regularly, outdoors in all conditions, working directly with the crews.

What You'll Be Doing:

- Develop project scopes, programs and budgets, then track progress, costs and performance to deliver on time and within budget

- Manage contracts, including variations, progress claims, RFIs and client reporting

- Prepare project methodologies, SWMS, risk assessments and environmental management requirements

- Lead site safety compliance, and report and investigate incidents, hazards and non-conformances

- Coordinate marine operations, including vessel movements, marine plant and marine safety

- Lead site teams: allocate daily duties, and induct, train and mentor supervisors, leading hands, apprentices and crews

- Manage plant, equipment, materials and subcontractors, including procurement, supplier evaluation and negotiating subcontract agreements

- Review drawings,



specifications, estimates, surveys and design documentation before works start

- Manage relationships with clients, engineers, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders, and chair and document project meetings, site inspections and audits

- Prepare tender programs and support the Directors, Engineer, BD Manager and WHSEQ Manager with tendering and business development, keeping records organised on SharePoint/OneDrive

What You'll Bring

- 3+ years in a project management, site management or senior supervisory role in civil, marine or infrastructure construction

- Experience delivering projects from tender award through to completion and handover

- A diploma or degree in civil engineering, construction management, project management or a related field is preferred

- Robust contract administration skills (AS 4000 / AS 2124 or similar), with sound knowledge of scheduling, budgeting and cost control

- Sound knowledge of WHS legislation, environmental requirements and relevant Australian Standards

- A confident communicator and negotiator who can lead crews and manage clients, subcontractors and suppliers

- Confident with Microsoft Office, SharePoint and project management software

- Current driver’s licence and Construction Induction (White) Card, and able to pass drug and alcohol testing

What You Can Expect:

- $130,000 – $150,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus superannuation and a vehicle

- Interesting, varied projects in some of Victoria’s best coastal locations

- Direct access to the Directors and a real say in how projects are run
