  • Assist with subcontractor procurement and package management

  • Monitor programme performance, reporting, and cost impacts

  • Conduct site inspections ensuring compliance with design, quality, and safety standards

  • Bachelor of Engineering (Civil or Structural)

  • 4-8 years' experience as a Project or Site Engineer on multi-storey concrete projects

  • Demonstrated experience on high-rise towers utilising jump form / self-climbing systems

What we offer

  • Work on a landmark Brisbane high-rise with a Tier 1 developer-client
