Job description

EDA Project Management Pty Ltd – Shepparton VIC

Based at the Shepparton office on New Dookie Rd, you'll deliver projects across northern Victoria — water and wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, pipelines, civil works, buildings and urban infrastructure — working with regional water authorities, councils and private clients. You'll be doing the actual work of project delivery.

Key responsibilities

• Running your own projects — scope, schedule, budget, risk and reporting, from planning through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover
• Managing design consultants — coordinating multidisciplinary teams, reviewing drawings and specifications for constructability and compliance
• Contract and commercial administration — progress claims, variations, extensions of time, tender preparation and evaluation
• Being on site — inspections, site meetings, testing, commissioning, and coordinating contractors around live plant and shutdown constraints
• Owning the client relationship — being the reliable, responsive person the client calls
• Safety first, always — Zero Harm is a non-negotiable value

About you

• Degree in engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical, process, environmental)
• 2–5 years' post-graduate experience in project delivery, consultancy, construction or with an asset owner
• You live in Shepparton or the Goulburn Valley, or you're genuinely ready to move here
• Willing and able to travel around the region to sites and client offices, with a current driver's licence
• The ability to work autonomously — plan your own week, make sensible calls, and know when to pick up the phone
• Accountability. You own your commitments, including the awkward ones
• A hunger to learn and a positive attitude, a must
• Clear writing and confident conversation — reports, minutes, contract letters, client meetings
• Right to work in Australia; White Card (or willing to get one)
• Preferred: Water and wastewater experience — treatment plants, pump stations, pipelines, sewer networks, storage or recycled water

About us

EDA Project Management is a multidisciplinary project management and engineering consultancy. Since 2015 we've delivered complex water, wastewater, utilities, buildings, urban and road infrastructure projects for government and private clients — individual projects from $10k to $150M, with a live portfolio in the order of $500M. We're a boutique team, which means the work is real and the responsibility is real.

Cultural Matters

Our team is positive, supportive and close-knit, and we want to keep it that way. We're looking for someone who will:

• Bring energy and a can-do attitude every day, including when a project is under pressure
• Spread positive behaviours — encourage colleagues, share credit, celebrate wins and lead with solutions, not complaints
• Blend in and build real working relationships across our Shepparton, Melbourne and Brisbane team
• Work as one team — share what you know, help before you're asked, and put team outcomes ahead of personal credit
• Uphold our values — safety first, attention to detail and lasting relationships — and respectfully speak up when something isn't right

• Excellent remuneration + 12% superannuation, set on experience, reviewed annually
• Vehicle or travel allowance, laptop, phone
• Paid professional memberships, CPD and chartership support
• Genuine responsibility early — your own projects and clients, with a direct line to the Managing Director
• Variety — water, wastewater, civil, buildings and urban infrastructure
• Regional lifestyle with serious project exposure — the work quality of a metro role without the commute
