Civil Supervisor – Urban Infrastructure

  • Civil infrastructure projects across the Greater Brisbane region
  • Monday to Friday working hours
  • Employer of choice - permanent role – long-term stability

If you’ve built your career in the trenches — boots on the ground, leading crews, solving problems before they even hit the Gantt chart — this one’s for you.

This isn’t just another gig supervising drainage or roadworks. This is your chance to lead from the front with a Tier 3 civil contractor that’s steadily becoming one of Brisbane’s go-to names for high-quality urban infrastructure delivery.

We’re talking $5–20M projects across council road upgrades, subdivisions, rail minor works, industrial estates, and airport precincts. Real projects. Real budgets. Real impact.


Why This Role:

  • Project Variety with Stability – You’re not stuck on one site forever. Projects rotate every few months with fresh challenges.
  • Backed to Lead – You’re not babysitting crews — you’re running the show. Coordinate with engineers, manage subbies, and set the pace.
  • Culture That Has Your Back – No egos. No politics. Just a straight-up crew that values honesty, hard work, and accountability.
  • Monday to Friday Gig. Get your weekends back.

What You’ll Bring

  • A proven track record leading civil crews on roads, subdivisions, earthworks, utilities, and concrete works
  • A good, honest attitude and strong work ethic — you lead with integrity and leave your ego at the gate. There’s no room for BS here — just a solid crew working hard and backing each other
  • Strong on-site coordination skills with a sharp eye for safety, quality, and productivity
  • The ability to juggle people, plant, and problems — and still deliver on time
  • A team-first mindset — we work hard, but we have fun doing it. This business is built on relationships, mentorship, and stability. In return, we expect honesty, trust, and commercial awareness to drive project performance and ensure effective budget management.
  • A mentorship attitude, so you can continue to develop your team.

What’s on the Table

  • $150K base + super + vehicle + fuel card
  • Permanent position with a growing civil contractor that values boots-on-the-ground leadership
  • Brisbane-based projects — be home every night
  • Long-term stability — we back our crews to succeed and stay

Ready to Step Up?

If you're the kind of Supervisor who earns respect by being in the thick of it — not just pointing from the ute — this is your chance to lead crews that build what matters.

Senior Civil Structures Estimator | Build What Others Can Only Imagine

Behind Australia’s most technically challenging civil and concrete works is a contractor built on capability, consistency, and confidence. This business has forged a reputation as the partner of choice for high-spec infrastructure, from bridges and substations to wind farms, dam spillways, and mine expansions. As they continue to expand their footprint, they’re looking for a Senior Civil Estimator who can bring commercial insight, technical depth, and leadership to the team.

About the Role

This is a hands-on estimating role where technical expertise meets commercial sharpness.
You’ll take ownership of
first-principles estimating across reinforced concrete and civil works — shaping accurate, competitive tenders that win work and build trust.

Working closely with Project Managers, Engineers, and the Pre-Contracts team, you’ll bring structure and strategy to every submission. Your day will include interpreting complex drawings, analysing methodology, identifying construction risks and opportunities, and ensuring pricing reflects real-world constructability.

Expect diversity — bridge structures, wind farms, tailings dams, substations, spillways, pipelines, and water storage projects — all designed to keep your estimating sharp and your career challenged.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare accurate, first-principles cost estimates for civil and structural concrete projects.
  • Review designs, drawings, and specifications to determine scope, risk, and pricing methodology.
  • Analyse labour, plant, and materials for maximum efficiency and profitability.
  • Coordinate tender submissions and ensure compliance with client requirements.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, consultants, and suppliers to ensure technical accuracy and competitive outcomes.
  • Mentor junior estimators, contributing to the growth and consistency of the team.
  • Support value engineering and constructability assessments to enhance bid competitiveness.

 

About You

You’re a motivated, detail-driven professional who thrives in a team that delivers real results.
You bring:

  • 10+ years in civil construction, with at least 6 in estimating.
  • Solid understanding of reinforced concrete structures and earthworks.
  • Proven background in FRP (Form, Reinforce, Pour) packages — bridges, culverts, foundations, and structural concrete.
  • Experience using estimating tools such as Expert Estimation, Candy, or similar.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Civil Engineering or Construction Management.
  • Strong commercial acumen, communication, and leadership qualities.

If you enjoy turning complexity into clarity — and numbers into winning tenders — you’ll feel right at home here.

 

Why You’ll Love It

This business rewards capability, not hierarchy. You’ll join a team where your input is valued, your ideas are heard, and your career progression is real.

They offer:

  • A competitive salary package reflective of your experience.
  • Exposure to major infrastructure projects across Australia.
  • Opportunities for professional growth within a high-performance estimating team.
  • A supportive culture where collaboration, precision, and pride drive every project.
