This is a hands‑on, site‑based position offering plenty of variety, responsibility and the opportunity to work alongside an experienced delivery team.

Our client is particularly interested in engineers who have developed their experience within larger civil construction businesses and are now looking for an environment where they can have a greater impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the planning, coordination and delivery of civil and infrastructure projects.
• Take ownership of allocated construction activities and work packages.
• Coordinate site teams, supervisors, subcontractors and suppliers.
• Review construction drawings, specifications and methodologies.
• Assist with programming, resource planning, procurement and progress monitoring.
• Manage quality assurance documentation, inspections and compliance requirements.
• Identify technical challenges and develop practical solutions.
• Monitor project costs, variations and commercial performance.
• Maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and project stakeholders.
• Ensure health, safety and environmental standards are maintained throughout construction.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary: $110,000–$130,000 depending on experience.
• Company vehicle: Full personal use with fuel provided.
• Career progression: Genuine opportunity to develop into Project Management.
• Interesting projects: Work across a diverse range of technically challenging civil and infrastructure projects.
