Nur gemeinsame erfolge sind wahre erfolge

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. 

We’re excited to be delivering a Major Road Upgrade Project in South Australia, a major infrastructure initiative designed to ease congestion, enhance safety, and improve connectivity at a key intersection.

We’re looking for a proactive Site Engineer (Civil) to join our team and support the safe, efficient, and high-quality delivery of civil construction projects. In this on-site role, you’ll monitor productivity, ensure quality standards are met, and assist with cost control, subcontractor coordination, and procurement. You’ll also be hands-on with short-term programming, progress tracking, and reporting using MS Excel and scheduling tools. Strong knowledge of safety legislation, Australian Standards, and project governance is a must.

About the role:

• Provide on-site engineering support to ensure safe, timely, and cost-effective project delivery.
•  Monitor construction quality, productivity, and progress against programs and method statements.
• Assist with cost control, estimating, subcontractor management, and procurement processes.
•  Apply working knowledge of safety legislation, Australian Standards, and project governance.
• Use MS Excel and scheduling tools to track progress, manage short-term programs, and report performance.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• Tertiary qualifications in civil engineering (or equivalent) with on-site experience in civil construction, ensuring quality, safety, and program delivery.
• Skilled in project planning, including critical path scheduling (up to 100 activities) and short-term bar chart updates.
• Good knowledge of safety standards, Australian codes, and contract management procedures.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, especially Excel, for site reporting and data analysis.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Current C-Class Driver’s Licence.

We have a range of additional benefits available for our employees:

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