Job description

Telecommunications Project Engineer | Rail LTE | Perth

Telecommunications Project Engineer | Rail LTE | Perth
Contract Opportunity | Perth Metro | Regular Site Visits

Calling all Telecommunications Project Engineers, Site Engineers and Radio Network Engineers with experience across LTE, mobile networks and infrastructure delivery.

If you've spent years working on telecommunications rollouts and enjoy being close to site delivery, this contract offers plenty of technical variety.

You'll work across a major Perth rail communications project, supporting the installation, integration and acceptance of LTE radio sites, transmission infrastructure and associated systems.

It's a role for someone who knows how to work with subcontractors, solve site issues and keep installations moving without compromising technical quality.

Not already in Perth? No dramas. As long as you're open to relocating.

What's On Offer

• Major Rail Communications Project: Contribute to a significant telecommunications rollout supporting Perth's rail network.
• Technical Variety: Work across LTE/4G radio access networks, backhaul transmission, tunnel coverage and associated infrastructure.
• Hands-On Site Exposure: Stay involved in installation, testing, integration and acceptance rather than managing delivery entirely from an office.
• Ownership of Site Delivery: Work closely with rollout managers and subcontractors, identifying technical issues and helping get them resolved.
• Broader Engineering Experience: Build on your mobile network background while gaining further exposure to rail and critical infrastructure requirements.
• Perth Metropolitan Projects: Work across multiple sites throughout the Perth metro area, with regular site visits and direct involvement in progress.
• Contract Opportunity: Apply your existing telecommunications experience to a major infrastructure programme with established technical and delivery teams.

What You'll Be Doing

• Coordinate the technical implementation of LTE radio sites, tunnel and in-building coverage systems, backhaul transmission and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Support subcontractors with site installation, materials, technical drawings and issue resolution, ensuring work meets approved designs and project requirements.
• Oversee installation quality, progressive verification, Site Acceptance Testing and commissioning support, tracking defects and documentation through to closure.

What Will Make You Successful

• Experience in telecommunications project delivery, site engineering or field operations, with practical LTE/4G and radio access network experience.
• Ability to interpret technical designs and work across RF, transmission, power, earthing and site testing. Rail or critical infrastructure project experience is highly regarded.
• A relevant technical qualification and Rail Industry Worker (RIW) card, with the confidence to coordinate subcontractors and attend project sites regularly.

Why Apply?

If you're a Telecommunications Project Engineer who prefers being involved in the technical work rather than sitting behind a project schedule, this role offers the right mix.

You’ll work across multiple radio and transmission systems, stay close to site delivery and build further experience in rail telecommunications infrastructure.
