Real success is the success you share

We are seeking an experienced Project Engineer to join our diverse team in our new, modern office space situated in Parramatta’s CBD to work on the Creek Connect project. This is a flagship water infrastructure project for Sydney Water, where you’ll gain extensive project exposure, contribute to high-impact works, and enjoy long-term career stability.

This role is ideal for candidates with experience in water, pump stations, or related infrastructure, who want to contribute to a project that will set the benchmark for future water projects.

CreekConnect – Supporting Western Sydney’s Growth!

Be part of a large-scale, long-term joint venture between Seymour Whyte and Jacobs, awarded by Sydney Water as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) project. As the region expands, so does the need for sustainable and resilient water solutions. The Upper South Creek Network will feature new wastewater pumping stations and gravity carriers, with the first work stage beginning before the year's end. The project also emphasises safety, digital engineering, and compliance with the latest standards, ensuring it meets future needs effectively.

About Seymour Whyte:

We are a successful civil contracting business that has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want. 

About the Role:

• Support procurement, stakeholder/client engagement as part of the EPCM delivery model
• Track construction progress, milestones, and forecasts
• Coordinate on-site engineering activities to meet designs and Sydney Water standards
• Ensure health, safety, environmental, and quality compliance
• Review drawings and recommend solutions for efficient construction

About you:

• Tertiary qualifications in Construction Management or related discipline
• 5+ years’ experience as a civil Project Engineer
• Experience in water infrastructure – advantageous
• Strong understanding of health, safety, environmental, and quality standards
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Current C-Class Driver’s Licence

Company Benefits:

• Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
• Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
• Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.

Many of our projects are not accessible via public transport and require travel between and within active construction sites. As a result, a current Driver’s Licence and the ability to drive on site are essential.

Seymour Whyte is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, including veterans. Our commitment to an equitable construction industry extends to an inclusive culture that embraces our differences and gives everyone the opportunity to grow and be equally valued. We're unified in our direction toward having a workplace that is balanced and fair for all.
