Site Engineer

A major transport infrastructure project (valued at more than $1 billion) is underway across South East Queensland, delivering complex rail, station and civil works in both brownfield and greenfield environments. The head contractor is seeking a Site Engineer to support the safe and efficient delivery of brownfield construction works in and around operational transport assets. You'll translate design requirements into executable site activities, coordinate resources and permits, and maintain the records needed to demonstrate compliance in a live-asset environment.
