Real success is the success you share

We are a successful civil contracting business who 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.

• Develop, communicate and implement Design Management Plans that unite civil, defence, rail, structures and water teams, suppliers and subcontractors
• Select, manage and support design team members and consultants, set clear expectations and foster high performance across disciplines
• Lead bid management, ensure timely design deliverables and provide targeted feedback to estimators, construction teams and planners
• Serve as the central communication link between design and construction, clearly conveying changes in scope, design or methodology
• Drive innovation and value engineering on complex projects, maintain risk registers and facilitate rigorous risk reviews with design teams
• Liaise with clients to understand and manage expectations, meet technical and performance requirements and fully deliver on design briefs

THE SUCCESSFUL APPLICANT WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: 

• Tertiary qualifications in Engineering (civil, structural, rail, defence, water or equivalent) with professional accreditation highly regarded
• Demonstrated experience managing design for multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects, such as civil, rail, defence, structures and water
• Proven ability to lead and coordinate diverse design teams, ensuring technical and performance requirements are met across sectors
• Strong understanding of regulatory, environmental and industry standards relevant to complex infrastructure design and delivery
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills

• 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 located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.
