Relocate to Australia? Does this sound like you?

• 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.

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 worked with many Engineers from Scotland/the UK to facilitate their move recently, and we can share their experiences with you before assisting you on the same journey. Additionally, PD Project Delivery’s leadership team includes individuals from Scotland/the UK who relocated to Australia over a decade ago, so they understand what is involved and are ready to support your move.

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

With significant investment into infrastructure, the pipeline of major projects continues to grow. For example, Queensland alone has a five-year pipeline valued at $103.9bn, with $65bn already funded.

As a Project Engineer in Australia, your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating all aspects of projects and ensuring safety, quality, budget, and schedule compliance.
• Conducting site inspections and quality control.
• Attending project meetings, preparing progress updates, and maintaining clear communication with clients.
• Managing project timelines, budgets, and resources.
• Providing technical support to project teams.
• Tracking project progress, identifying risks, and developing mitigation strategies.
