Job description

The Opportunity

Build projects you can actually drive past and be proud of.

We’re growing. Our Civil Infrastructure and Land Development team has secured a strong pipeline of projects across the South Coffs Harbourregion, and we’re looking for a Project Engineer who wants more than just a support role.

You’ll be involved in delivering a range of civil infrastructure and land development subdivision projects, including roads, drainage, underground services, earthworks and associated civil works.

If you enjoy being close to the action, solving real site problems and working with a team that backs each other, keep reading.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Coordinate daily site activities and subcontractors.
• Manage quality assurance, ITPs and compliance documentation.
• Track costs, variations and progress claims.
• Provide input into short-term programming and project planning.
• Ensure safety standards and site procedures are upheld.
• Solve problems as they arise on active civil construction sites.
• Support the delivery of civil infrastructure and land development subdivision projects from early works through to completion.
• This is a hands-on role across active projects involving roads, drainage, underground services, bulk earthworks and subdivision infrastructure.

What We’re Looking For

• We’re open to Engineers with 2–6 years’ experience in civil construction who:
• Hold a Bachelor of Civil Engineering.
• Have experience in civil infrastructure, land development, subdivision or bulk earthworks projects.
• Understand QA, ITPs, cost tracking and project documentation processes.
• Can build strong working relationships with supervisors, subcontractors, clients and consultants.
• Take ownership and initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• Are committed to delivering safe, high-quality work.
• Geotechnical background or training (advantageous).
• If you’re currently a Project Engineer ready to step into greater autonomy and take on more responsibility, we’d also like to hear from you.

The SEE Way

• SEE Group is a family-built company with over 35 years of experience in delivering excellence across civil construction, mining, and infrastructure. At SEE Group, we don’t just build projects—we build careers.
• Be part of a down-to-earth, supportive team that values diversity and inclusion
• Benefit from career growth and tailored development opportunities
• Enjoy personalised rewards and recognition for your hard work
• Work on impactful projects that shape communities
• Collaborate with passionate people who bring a "boots & all" attitude to everything they do
