Job description

Maw Civil Marine specialises in marine, coastal and major civil works, including seawalls and revetments, shoreline erosion repair, bulk earthworks, dam construction and upgrades, and wetland construction.

Prepare tender programs and support the Directors, Engineer, BD Manager and WHSEQ Manager with tendering and business development, keeping records organised on SharePoint/OneDrive

What You'll Bring

3+ years in a project management, site management or senior supervisory role in civil, marine or infrastructure construction

Experience delivering projects from tender award through to completion and handover

A diploma or degree in civil engineering, construction management, project management or a related field is preferred

Strong contract administration skills (AS 4000 / AS 2124 or similar), with sound knowledge of scheduling, budgeting and cost control

Sound knowledge of WHS legislation, environmental requirements and relevant Australian Standards

A confident communicator and negotiator who can lead crews and manage clients, subcontractors and suppliers

What You Can Expect:

$130,000 – $150,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus superannuation and a vehicle

Interesting, varied projects in some of Victoria’s best coastal locations

Direct access to the Directors and a real say in how projects are run
