Seeking:
Civil Project Engineer x 1 (5+ years’ field experience)
Civil Site Engineer x 1 (2+ years’ post-grad experience)
For various projects across the Pacific Islands

Small-ish local civil works, marine infrastructure and coastal remediation.

Character building setting. Remote. Isolated. Logistically difficult.
The commute in and out is long and clunky, which is why the roster is set at 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off (6-day working week, Sundays off).

Flights, travel, visas, meals and accommodation provided.

A long way from anywhere. Not the kind of place you can pack up your bat and ball and head home at a moment’s notice.

You’ll need to be level-headed. Reliable. Consistent in how you show up, day in, day out. The kind of person who can be counted on.

Capacity to work as part of a team is a critical quality on this gig.
You’ll also need to be able to cope with temporary camp conditions in a hot, humid, tropical setting.

The Reward?
Yes, the money is good.
Feel good factor also high.
A real sense of accomplishment, knowing your individual effort is contributing to capacity building in developing nations.
Projects that matter, for communities that need them.

Must Haves
If your pointy finger is hovering over the “Apply Now” button: Terrific.
But before you click, please double check this MUST HAVE list:





- Tertiary qualifications in Civil Engineering or Construction Management
- In-field project experience (marine, coastal or structures highly regarded)
- Sound technical ability
- People skills: it’s isolated, and you’ll get lonely and a bit snarky from time to time. So it’s mission critical you can work well with others, and that you’re not the one who gets on everyone’s nerves
- Australian citizenship or permanent residency status. This is a non-negotiable part of the contract; eligibility for PR, or a visa permitting work in Australia, will NOT be sufficient (sorry)
- A current passport
- Partner Clearance: i.e. you’ve already discussed this as a possibility with your loved one, rather than getting all the way through the process before landing it on them

This gig is tough. No point pretending otherwise.
But it’s the kind of tough that might just satisfy your sense of adventure. It also comes with a seriously high feel positive factor.

If that sounds like your kind of ride, don’t overthink it.
Giddy up and get going.
