Senior Project Engineer - Tunnel Civil Fitout

The consortium of John Holland, Bouygues Construction, Arcadis Australia, Jacobs and Ventia has been selected to build South Australia's biggest-ever road infrastructure project. In partnership with the South Australian Government, this consortium forms the Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance.

The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance, will deliver the final 10.5km section of the North-South Corridor, forming a continuous 78 km, non-stop, traffic light-free motorway, and contributing to a long-lasting legacy for the community and people of Adelaide.

The T2D Project involves constructing two separate tunnels - the Southern Tunnels and the Northern Tunnels connected by an open motorway, with a combined total distance of 10.5km, open to traffic in 2031. The T2D project comprises the tunnels, surface works including road and bridge construction in addition to services buildings and complex mechanical and electrical infrastructure. The T2D Alliance is committed to providing opportunities for local people, Aboriginal workers, apprentices, trainees and job seekers who are long-term unemployed and offers people an incredible opportunity to be a part of an iconic project.

The role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Engineer - leading the delivery of complex civil fitout works within of our tunnels.

This is a key leadership role responsible for coordinating the planning, engineering and execution of critical tunnel civil fitout activities, ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with project specifications, quality requirements and programme milestones.

You will lead a team of six engineering professionals, comprising two Project Engineers and four Site Engineers, while working closely with construction, design, commercial, quality and safety teams to drive successful delivery and facilitate a seamless handover to the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) team.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of tunnel civil fitout works, from planning and design coordination through to construction, completion and handover.
• Manage the installation of precast barrier panels, ensuring compliance with design requirements, tolerances, quality standards and installation methodologies.
• Oversee cross passage internal fitout works, coordinating construction activities, interfaces and completion requirements.
• Manage XPIG works, ensuring effective coordination of engineering, construction sequencing and associated interfaces.
• Lead road deck replacement activities, including the planning and execution of works using a bespoke gantry system.
• Oversee architectural panel installation, ensuring alignment with design intent, programme requirements and quality expectations.
• Coordinate construction methodologies, temporary works, lifting operations, access requirements and installation sequencing.
• Identify and proactively manage design, construction, and interface risks, implementing practical solutions to maintain progress and minimise disruption.
• Provide technical guidance and support to the engineering team, fostering a collaborative, accountable and high-performing culture.
• Develop and manage detailed work plans, construction programmes and short-term lookaheads.
• Monitor progress against key milestones, identify potential delays and implement recovery strategies where required.
• Manage subcontractor performance, productivity, resources and construction deliverables.
• Plan and coordinate the transition of completed civil works to the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) team.
