This is an excellent opportunity to join an experienced project team and play a key role in delivering a large-scale, technically complex new build development.

Working closely with the Senior Project Engineer, Project Manager, Site Manager and wider delivery team, you will be responsible for coordinating key construction packages, managing subcontractors and ensuring works are delivered safely, on programme and to a high standard.

We are also keen to speak with experienced Project Engineers who are looking to take the next step in their careers into a Senior Project Engineer position.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing construction packages from procurement through to completion
• Coordinating subcontractors, consultants and internal project stakeholders
• Reviewing design documentation and resolving technical construction issues
• Managing RFIs, shop drawings, methodologies and approvals
• Monitoring programme, quality and key delivery milestones
• Supporting procurement, contract administration and commercial processes
• Ensuring works comply with project specifications, safety requirements and relevant standards
• Working closely with site teams to coordinate structural, architectural and finishing packages
• Building strong relationships with subcontractors, consultants and the wider project team

To be considered for this position, you must have:

• Previous experience working with a recognised Tier 1 or Tier 2 builder
• Demonstrated experience delivering large-scale building projects within the new build sector, rather than civil infrastructure
• Experience working as a Project Engineer, or as a Site Engineer ready to progress
• Strong technical construction knowledge, ideally across structural, façade, services or finishing packages
• Experience delivering new build projects across commercial, residential, government, education or similar sectors
• The ability to coordinate multiple subcontractors, consultants and stakeholders
• Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills

You will be joining a well-established Tier 2 head contractor with an experienced leadership team, a strong pipeline of work and a reputation for delivering major new build projects across NSW.

The business offers a stable working environment, exposure to a landmark Sydney CBD project and genuine opportunities for career progression.

For ambitious Project Engineers, there is an opportunity to take on greater package ownership, develop your technical and leadership capabilities and progress towards a Senior Project Engineer position.

With a strong forward pipeline, there will also be opportunities to gain exposure to different building sectors and projects following completion.

All applications and enquiries will be treated confidentially.
