We are looking for an experienced Project Engineer to join our Projects Team in Sydney.

Working closely with Project Managers, engineers, technicians, site teams, subcontractors, suppliers and clients, you will help manage and coordinate the technical and engineering requirements of our projects.

The role will support project planning, procurement, technical coordination, cost control, contract compliance and project documentation to help ensure work is delivered on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience working with mechanical piping systems within petrochemical, processing, oil and gas, industrial or similarly complex project environments.

What You'll Be Doing

• Plan, schedule and coordinate engineering and project delivery activities
• Review drawings, specifications, contracts and technical documentation
• Coordinate engineering deliverables, procurement, materials and equipment requirements
• Obtain and assess supplier and subcontractor quotations
