About the Business

iServeU is a Melbourne-based general contracting and civil construction company operating from Lalor in the city’s north. The business delivers civil works across excavation and landfill, road and pavement construction, site preparation, the construction of electrical substations and pump stations, water treatment and sewage plants, culverts and trenches, pre-cast concrete and bore drilling and fit-out, alongside general maintenance, mechanical works and facilities management for clients in the healthcare, education, infrastructure and commercial sectors. iServeU has built its reputation on delivering cost-effective projects on time and to a high standard, and it treats every client as a partner, with quality, integrity and client satisfaction at the centre of the way it works.

About the Position

The Civil Engineer is a newly created, full-time role reporting directly to the Director and carrying engineering responsibility for all of iServeU’s civil works: excavation and landfill, road and pavement, site preparation, substation and pump station construction, water treatment and sewage plant works, and culverts and trenches. In a compact business that delivers its projects through its own team and specialist subcontractors, the Civil Engineer is the technical authority on each job, taking it from drawings, specifications and methodology through programming, site set-out and construction to inspection, testing and handover.



The role suits an engineer who is as comfortable on a live site as in the office and who wants genuine ownership of projects from start to finish, with the quality, compliance and timely delivery of the company’s civil portfolio depending directly on this position.

Key Responsibilities

- Plan, coordinate and oversee the company’s excavation and landfill works, including earthworks design, cut and fill, compaction and site drainage.
- Oversee road and pavement projects from alignment and pavement design through subgrade and base preparation to surfacing and finishing.
- Direct site preparation activities, including site investigation, set-out and levels, clearing, service location and ground improvement before construction begins.
- Oversee the civil construction of electrical substations and pump stations, including foundations, slabs, plinths, bunds and associated civil infrastructure.
- Oversee civil works on water treatment and sewage plant projects, including tanks, pipework, access structures and hydraulic infrastructure, ensuring they are built to design and to regulatory standards.
- Design, specify and oversee the installation of culverts, trenches and drainage structures, including pipe selection, bedding, backfill and reinstatement.
- Interpret and prepare engineering drawings, specifications and construction methodologies, and determine the construction methods, materials and quality standards for each project.
- Prepare quantities,



cost estimates and work programs, and coordinate labour, subcontractors, plant and materials so that projects are delivered on time and within budget.
- Carry out site inspections, testing and quality control, and maintain site records, as-built documentation and compliance with Australian Standards, Victorian regulations and client specifications.
- Identify, assess and manage site risks, ensuring work health and safety and environmental requirements are met on every project.
- Liaise with clients, consultants, councils and authorities, and report project progress, issues and costs to the Director.

Requirements

- Australian citizens and permanent residents are encouraged to apply.
- Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering.
- At least three years of experience as a Civil Engineer, including hands-on involvement in the delivery of civil construction works.
- Proficiency in computer-aided design (AutoCAD or equivalent) and engineering analysis software, with the ability to prepare and interpret drawings, specifications, quantities and programs.
- Working knowledge of Australian Standards and Victorian regulatory requirements for civil works, including drainage, earthworks, pavements and hydraulic infrastructure, together with sound understanding of work health and safety and environmental obligations on site.
- Competence in Microsoft Office and in maintaining accurate project documentation, cost records and reports.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to coordinate crews and subcontractors, deal confidently with clients and authorities, solve problems under site pressure and work across project sites as required.
