Job Description

CC Pines is looking for a Site Engineer (Hydraulics) to join our Darwin project full-time, on the ground. We’re after someone already based in Darwin, so you can hit the ground running. You’ll own the hydraulic scope on site, from setout to commissioning, on a project that’ll look very good on your CV.

This is a full‑on role. The roster is likely 6 days a week, so we’re after someone who wants to be in the thick of it and make things happen. In return, you get real responsibility, a great location and a team that backs you.

About Us

CC Pines is an Australian‑owned, family‑founded construction company with a 45‑year track record of delivering complex, high‑risk projects that other contractors won’t touch, from embassy builds in Morocco to Defence infrastructure across the Pacific. We work with the Australian Department of Defence, DFAT, and the US Department of Defence, and we’ve never had a reportable safety incident. We’re big enough to run world‑class projects, small enough that your voice actually gets heard.

Our values – humble, hungry, smart – aren’t a poster on the wall. They’re how we pick our people and how we run our sites.

Why Darwin?

• Tax perks that put money back in your pocket. Darwin sits in the Zone A remote area, so you’re eligible for the federal Zone Tax Offset. Add no NT land tax for individuals, and a stamp duty concession worth up to $18,600 if you’re buying a home in the Territory.
• A genuine outdoor lifestyle. Mindil Beach sunsets, fishing, weekend trips to Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks, and a harbourside city built for getting outside after work.
• Dry season living. Roughly May to October, you get warm, sunny days and next to no rain.
• A tight‑knit, laid‑back community. Small‑city feel, big social scene, and a genuine "everyone knows everyone" culture that makes settling in easy.
• Career runway. Darwin’s Defence and infrastructure pipeline is booming, and this puts you right in the middle of it.

Why Join CC Pines?

• Real ownership of the hydraulic scope on a nationally significant project, not a junior seat in a huge team.
• Competitive salary plus Territory living benefits.
• Career progression. We’re growing, and we invest in developing our people.
• A supportive, inclusive team where engineers are trusted and heard.

The Role

As Site Engineer (Hydraulics), you’ll be the on‑site go‑to for all things hydraulic. You’ll coordinate subcontractors, check the work against drawings and specs, and keep the program moving, working closely with the Foreman, Site Manager and Project Manager.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Managing delivery of hydraulic services on site, including water supply, sanitary drainage, stormwater and fire services
• Coordinating hydraulic subcontractors and keeping works on program and to spec
• Reviewing drawings, shop drawings and RFIs, and chasing answers fast
• Inspecting works, signing off hold points and supporting testing and commissioning
• Checking installed work against specifications, standards and the NCC
• Spotting risks early and sorting practical fixes before they hit the program
• Driving site safety and keeping our zero‑incident record intact
• Keeping progress records, as‑builts and reporting up to date for the Site Manager and Project Manager

Skills And Experience

• Degree in Civil, Mechanical, Hydraulic or a related engineering discipline
• Site experience delivering hydraulic services on commercial, infrastructure or government projects
• Working knowledge of AS/NZS 3500, the NCC and fire services requirements
• Experience coordinating subcontractors and managing quality on site
• Good eye for detail and strong problem‑solving skills
• Clear communicator who can work with trades, consultants and clients
• Construction White Card
• Ideally already based in Darwin, and comfortable with a 6‑day‑a‑week roster

Ready to Get Stuck In?

If you’re Darwin based and want a role where you’ll own the hydraulic scope and build your career on a standout project, we want to hear from you.
