Project Engineer - Civil

Location: SEQ & Northern NSW | Roster: 10/4 DIDO and/or Local

This is a genuine role with real responsibility.

If you want to contribute, think for yourself and be accountable, you'll be in the right place.

About the Role

This role is site-based. Not head office, not remote support.

You'll be part of the project team delivering the work, not sitting back reviewing it. You'll be working alongside supervisors, engineers and project managers, making sure what's planned actually happens on site.

You'll be across planning, cost, programme, quality and subcontractors. One minute you're reviewing drawings and methodology, the next dealing with variations, tracking costs or solving something that's holding the job up.

You'll be expected to think, make calls and take ownership. Not everything will be perfect, and that's the point. This role suits someone who can step in, work through issues and keep the project moving.

You'll see the full picture. Programme, budget, delivery and risk and you'll play a part in making sure it works

What Helps (but don't stress if you don't tick every box)

• Civil Engineering degree or similar, or working towards it
• Experience on project sites, not just office exposure
• Ability to read drawings and understand how they translate on site
• Comfortable dealing with supervisors, subcontractors and different personalities
• Basic understanding of cost, programme and how projects run
• Willingness to be site-based and move with the work (QLD / NSW projects)
• Someone who doesn't wait to be told what to do

Nice to Have (but not essential)

• Experience as a Project Engineer or stepping up from Site Engineer level
• Exposure to roads, earthworks, structures or civil infrastructure projects
• Experience with cost tracking, variations and project reporting
• Familiarity with planning tools like MS Project or P6
• Commercial awareness, understanding that delivery, cost and time all matter
• Experience working on live, fast-moving project environments
