Job description

Competitive salary + annual incentive bonus

Most Project Engineer roles focus on getting projects finished. This role exists to make sure they're worth finishing.

At JBS Dinmore, you'll be delivering engineering projects across one of Australia's largest and most complex industrial operations. From major equipment upgrades and critical infrastructure improvements to automation, utilities, refrigeration and production assets, your work will directly influence safety, reliability, productivity and long-term asset performance.

The best candidates won't see themselves as project coordinators. They'll see themselves as engineers who leave every asset, every system and every site better than they found it.

Engineering degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Structural or a related discipline
