Teams work nationally, giving staff exposure to diverse projects, clients and delivery environments.

Your new role

As a Project Engineer within a dedicated multisite delivery team, you will support the successful delivery of a portfolio of fitout projects typically ranging from small to mid-sized values. No two days will be the same, with involvement in planning, coordination and on-site delivery.

  • Managing subcontractors and suppliers on site
  • Supporting client and stakeholder relationships
  • Monitoring cost, programme, quality and safety outcomes
  • Contributing to risk management and problem-solving on live projects
  • Supporting HSE, quality and industrial relations requirements

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in this role, you will bring a proactive, hands-on attitude and enjoy working in fast-paced project environments.

You will also have:
  • Tertiary qualifications in Building, Construction Management or Civil Engineering
  • At least 7 years’ experience in the building and construction industry, ideally on fitout or refurbishment projects
  • Strong attention to detail and a focus on quality and risk management
  • The ability to work collaboratively and take ownership of challenges
  • Experience coordinating subcontractors and working with multiple stakeholders
  • Basic understanding of contracts administration and project controls
  • Familiarity with common construction project management and planning software

What you'll get in return

In return, you’ll join a contractor that genuinely invests in its people and offers long-term career opportunities.

You can expect:
  • Exposure to varied projects across different locations and sectors
  • Clear pathways for career progression based on your interests and performance
  • A supportive, team-focused culture with strong leadership backing
  • Ongoing formal and on-the-job learning and development
  • Additional leave benefits linked to tenure
  • Access to wellbeing, health and community engagement initiatives
