About the role

Civilivic is a South East Queensland civil contractor delivering roads, drainage, earthworks and civil infrastructure for the communities we live and work in. Civilivic Pty Ltd is seeking an experienced Site Engineer or Graduate Engineer to join our growing team in Gympie, Queensland. This is a full-time position based on-site, where you will play a crucial role in ensuring the successful delivery of construction projects from inception through to completion. As a Site Engineer, you will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day site operations, maintaining quality standards, and ensuring all work complies with relevant regulations and safety protocols. This role is integral to our project delivery success and offers the opportunity to directly impact the quality and efficiency of our construction initiatives.

Why Civilivic?

At a large tier-1 contractor, a graduate can spend years on a narrow task. Here, you’ll be on site, working with the people building the job, and trusted with real work early.

- Hands-on from day one. Take-offs, quantities, quality records, subcontractor coordination, reporting and onsite inspections on live projects.

- Direct access to leadership. You’ll report to our Construction Manager and work alongside our Project Manager, both of whom have decades of civil experience. Our Construction Manager started off as a site engineer who knows what good site engineering looks like.

- A real career pathway. We grow engineers into Project Engineers and beyond. As the business grows, so do the opportunities, and you’ll be in the room when decisions are made.

- Broad exposure.



You’ll see construction, contract administration, safety, environmental management and the commercial side of delivering a job, not just one slice of it.

- Mentoring from people who build. Learn from experienced supervisors, leading hands, plant operators and engineers who are generous with what they know.

- Modern tools. You’ll work with 3D design files and GPS machine control, and with the survey and engineering people who make them work.

- Culture. Honest, practical and safety-first. We back our people, and we’re proud of the work we leave behind.

Key responsibilities

- Check works against drawings, specifications and survey control

- Manage ITPs, hold points, test results and quality records

- Take off quantities and support progress claims and variations

- Assist in the coordination of subcontractors and suppliers, and support daily site planning

- Review SWMS, observations and site inductions with the Site Foreman

- Support environmental compliance, including erosion and sediment control

- Maintain site diaries, RFIs and project documentation

- Provide buildability, programme and methodology input on upcoming work

- Contribute to a safe site and a culture where everyone goes home well





What we're looking for

- Degree in Civil Engineering (or a closely related discipline) completed, or in the final stages of completion

- Willingness to work on site and in all weather

- Solid communication skills, with the confidence to deal with crews, subcontractors and consultants

- A genuine commitment to safety and quality

- A current Queensland driver’s licence

- Current Construction Induction (White Card) or willingness to obtain before starting

- Site experience through cadetship, vacation work or a previous role (preferred not essential)

- Familiarity with Microsoft Office and good computer skills

- Working knowledge of roadworks, drainage or earthworks

What we offer

- Competitive salary package commensurate with experience and qualifications

- Full-time permanent employment with job security and stability

- Mentoring and a clear development plan

- A supportive, close-knit team and a stable, growing employer

- Company vehicle or allowance, and phone/laptop provided

- The chance to work on diverse, rewarding construction projects in the Gympie and Sunshine Coast region
