Project Engineer

28/9/2025

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.

Join Seymour Whyte for the Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) Upgrade Project, a major civil infrastructure project being delivered as a joint venture with John Holland and focused on enhancing the rail transport network between Beerburrum and Nambour on the Sunshine Coast.

About the project - key dates & duration:

  • Following enabling and early works, major construction works have commenced. 
  • Construction is scheduled to be completed in late 2027, conditions permitting. 
  • The main construction phase is expected to last around two to three years. 

What the Project Involves

  • Rail Duplication: The core of the project is the delivery of a new, dual-track rail line between Beerburrum and Nambour. 
  • Infrastructure Upgrades: This will also involve associated infrastructure improvements, potentially including the construction of new stations and upgrading existing ones. 
  • Community Benefits: The upgrade aims to improve public transport connectivity for the growing Sunshine Coast region and support the growing population by providing more travel options and diverting traffic.
