• Work closely with engineers, supervisors, contractors and stakeholders to resolve site issues and achieve successful project outcomes

About You

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent tertiary qualification, with eligibility for Engineers Australia membership
• Typically 2+ years' experience within construction or infrastructure projects
