Brisbane or Gold Coast Locations

Step into a Senior Project Engineer role where your decisions genuinely shape outcomes.

We’re partnering with a fast-growing Queensland civil contractor to find an ambitious Senior Project Engineer ready to take ownership, work closely with respected leaders, and help deliver complex civil infrastructure projects across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and regional Queensland.

“There’s a great balance of autonomy and support, you’re trusted to get on with the job, but help is always available when needed.”

What Sets This Role Apart

You get the room to operate like a true project leader, while still being backed by capable, down-to-earth people who want you to succeed. You’ll be close enough to the action to influence commercial, program, quality and delivery outcomes, and close enough to the leadership team to keep learning from people with strong major contractor experience.

You’ll be joining a business with strong profitability and an exciting pipeline, meaning your work will be visible, valued and directly connected to the next stage of growth.

“Coming from a more rigid top-tier environment, this has been a refreshing and energising change.”

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in helping the project team deliver civil construction works safely, efficiently and to a high standard, with meaningful input across planning, delivery, quality, procurement and commercial control.

• Manage construction planning, programming and completion schedules.
• Work closely with the broader project team to support delivery against time and cost requirements.
• Implement and manage project quality systems, including ITPs.
• Provide onsite support when required to help achieve quality project outcomes.
• Coordinate procurement, quote requests, supplier engagement and supplier management.
• Manage subcontractors and maintain strong communication across delivery stakeholders.
• Support project cost control and commercial discipline.
• Maintain and apply relevant standards, specifications and policies.

About You

• Bachelor of Civil Engineering.
• Minimum 4 years’ experience in the construction industry.
• Multi-disciplinary civil construction experience, such as urban, mining, DTMR or slope stabilisation works.
• A strong focus on safety, environmental, specification, design and contractual requirements.
• Ability to deliver to tight deadlines without compromising quality.
• TMR and RMS specification experience is highly regarded.
• Current driver’s licence.

About the Company

You’ll be joining a growing Queensland civil contractor with the agility of a smaller business and the systems, discipline and know-how of experienced major contractor operators. The team is known for meticulous planning, practical engineering, quality delivery and a culture that values teamwork, innovation, flexibility and personal development.

“The team is made up of not only highly capable operators but also genuinely good people, which makes a big difference day to day.”
