Job description

WANT TO TAKE YOUR CONSTRUCTION CAREER TO AUSTRALIA...?

• Site Engineer, Project Engineer, Section / Senior Engineer, Sub-Agent, or Site Manager?
• Under the age of 35 in Scotland / the UK / Ireland?
• Experience in civil engineering projects, or working with a large main building contractor?
• Ever considered heading to Australia?

Then you need to apply / get in touch - let us walk you through how to make this move a reality!

Contract Scotland / CS International Recruitment work in partnership with PD Project Delivery, an Australian construction and project management company providing civil engineering & construction management expertise to successful projects throughout Australia. They deliver everything from roads / highways, rail, water, renewables, to bulk earthworks / groundworks, etc!

If the above profile sounds like you (either experience in the civil engineering site / project environment, or relevant experience on large building projects - externals, piling, concrete frames / slipform, etc), then you could have your visa for Australia in 24 hours and be on your way to a new challenge Down Under.

We’ve already placed a large number of Engineers from Scotland / the UK who also made the move and we can share their recorded experiences with you, before assisting you on the same journey. Plus PD Project Delivery’s leadership team includes people from Scotland / the UK who originally relocated to Australia over a decade ago, so they understand what is involved in relocating from the UK and are set up to support anyone making the move.

Work is predominantly across Queensland, including Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Townsville etc, but projects do arise in other states, such as New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, South Australia, and the Northern Territory.

With massive investment into infrastructure projects, the major projects pipeline continues to grow.

Take Queensland (Brisbane / Gold Coast) alone as a single state - the current five-year pipeline has increased to $103.9bn (of which $65bn is already funded)!

As a Project Engineer in Australia, you’ll be;

• Coordinating all aspects of projects and delivering key construction requirements in line with safety, quality, budget & time.
• Conducting site inspections and ensuring quality control
• Attending project meetings, preparing progress updates, and maintaining clear communication with clients.
• Overseeing project timelines, budgets, and resource allocations
• Providing technical expertise and support to project teams
• Keeping track of and reporting project progression, identifying potential risks, and devising strategies for risk mitigation.
