Job Description

Civil Project Manager | Brisbane role

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 Project Manager (or a Senior Project Engineer ready to step up) 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 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 Project Manager, you’ll take charge of civil projects that matter—whether it’s shaping safer roads, creating efficient rail networks, or contributing to Brisbane’s growth. Your role will go beyond deadlines and budgets—you’ll be a mentor, problem solver, and a leader who drives positive outcomes for both the team and the community.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading Project Teams: Build a motivated team that delivers quality work, safely and on time.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Be the trusted point of contact for clients, stakeholders, and subcontractors.
  • Resource Management: Oversee subcontractors and suppliers to ensure smooth delivery.
  • Strategic Oversight: Keep projects on track and provide clear, insightful updates to leadership.
  • Health & Safety Leadership: Maintain a proactive focus on safety, environmental, and quality standards.

What You’ll Bring to the Table

  • A Civil Engineering Degree and a solid foundation in project management.
  • 5-8 years of experience in civil construction, ideally across varied projects.
  • A collaborative, people-first approach to leadership and mentoring.
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, with a focus on quality outcomes.
  • A commitment to safety, integrity, and continual improvement.

What’s In It for You?

  • Genuine Career Development: This company invests in their people, offering real pathways for growth.
  • A Supportive Culture: You’ll join a team that values collaboration, respect, and doing things the right way.
  • Work-Life Balance: Forget the grind—this role prioritises Monday to Friday hours.
  • Diverse Projects: From roads to rail, every project is an opportunity to expand your skills.
