Job Description
Senior Project Engineer | Local Brisbane civil projects
Are you ready to take the next step with a company that values integrity, teamwork, and genuine leadership? This Brisbane-based civil contractor is growing steadily and looking for a motivated Senior Project Engineer (or a Project Manager looking to stay hands-on) to lead meaningful projects. With a focus on strong culture and career growth, this opportunity is all about delivering quality work while supporting your professional development.
Why This Company Stands Out
This contractor prides itself on building lasting relationships—with clients, stakeholders, and their team. They’re not chasing flashy accolades but are quietly and confidently making a big impact on Brisbane’s infrastructure. From roads to rail, bridges, water infrastructure to subdivisions, and more, their projects offer variety and purpose, all while being led by a supportive leadership team that invests in your success.
You’ll work alongside people who care about doing the job right and creating an environment where everyone can thrive. And the best part? Your weekends are yours—a healthy work-life balance is built into the culture here.
The Role: Make an Impact
As a Senior Project Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering civil projects that shape Brisbane’s future. This isn’t just about technical expertise—you’ll collaborate with a motivated team, manage stakeholders effectively, and deliver outcomes that reflect quality and care.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Engineering Leadership: Drive engineering excellence and oversee the technical aspects of projects.
- Team Collaboration: Support and mentor project engineers while fostering a cohesive and productive team environment.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Build trust and maintain strong communication with clients, stakeholders, and subcontractors.
- Delivery Excellence: Ensure quality, safety, and timeliness across all project phases.
- Project Oversight: Assist with scheduling, resource allocation, and reporting to leadership.
What You’ll Bring to the Table
- A Civil Engineering Degree and a solid foundation in project delivery.
- 8 years of experience in civil construction, ideally across varied projects like roads, bridges, water infrastructure, or subdivisions.
- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a knack for building trust.
- Strong organisational and problem-solving capabilities.
- A commitment to safety, quality, and continual improvement.
What’s In It for You?
- Career Development: A company that genuinely invests in your professional growth.
- Supportive Culture: Work with a team that values collaboration, respect, and doing things the right way.
- Work-Life Balance: Say goodbye to the grind—this role prioritises Monday to Friday hours.
- Diverse Projects: Roads, rail, and more—each project is a chance to grow your expertise.
