• Support project delivery through all phases, from planning and investigation to execution and close-out.
• Liaise effectively with clients, contractors, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with relevant Australian Standards, client specifications, and safety requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within the business and project teams

About You

• Experience working on maintenance, infrastructure, asset management, or integrity-related projects.
• Strong technical report-writing and communication skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively within a collaborative team environment.
• A proactive attitude and willingness to undertake site inspections and field activities
• remediation, asset integrity, or project engineering.

Desirable Qualifications & Experience

• AMPP/NACE Cathodic Protection certification or similar industry accreditation.
• Experience in cathodic protection design, installation, testing, or assessment.
• Knowledge of condition assessment methodologies, corrosion mitigation strategies, and asset management principles.
• Experience in structural remediation, durability, asset protection, or infrastructure maintenance projects.
• Exposure to site-based engineering, construction, inspection, or remediation activities.
• Commercial awareness, including experience managing project budgets, controlling costs and identifying value-driven solutions.
• Ability to balance technical engineering requirements with constructability, safety, cost, and programme considerations.
• Experience engaging with clients, site personnel, subcontractors, and other project stakeholders.
