Civil Supervisor – Road Construction (Council / TMR)
- Genuine family-focused environment
- Industry-leading employer of choice
- Road Infrastructure (TMR & Councils)
Civil Supervisor role:
This isn’t just another Civil Supervisor role. This is a genuine career move.
Step into a business that backs its people, rewards integrity, and delivers infrastructure that helps shape communities across South East Queensland. Our client is a highly regarded Tier 2 civil contractor with a reputation built on one clear principle: look after your people and the results will follow. They have earned that reputation through low staff turnover, a genuine family culture, and a secure project pipeline. They don’t just talk about being an employer of choice — their people stay because they mean it.
The Role
You will lead from the front across DTMR and Council road and bridge projects throughout the Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Ipswich corridors. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will take ownership of site safety, drive short and medium-term construction programmes, coordinate crews and subcontractors, and work closely with the engineering team to solve problems in real time.
The work is varied, challenging and rewarding, covering earthworks, pavements, drainage, ground engineering and bridge construction. You will be trusted with real autonomy, supported by experienced leadership, and given the resources needed to deliver quality outcomes safely, on time and on budget.

No egos. No politics.
From senior leadership through to site teams, people are treated with respect and dealt with fairly.
Investment in your development
Structured career pathways, ongoing development, and leaders who actively mentor their people.
Strong staff retention
People stay. That says everything about the culture and how employees are valued.
