Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia NSW Government -Infrastructure & Place Full time
Your career path could surprise even you, there's so much variety and room to grow.

You've been developing your skills and are ready to work on projects that matter to the people of NSW. You know that quality matters and that delivering results requires a great team.

In this role, you'll:

be working as part of Transport's Infrastructure and Place division, learning to develop and deliver transport infrastructure across NSW.

You will become a trusted partner to our clients by providing smart, integrated and sustainable infrastructure and places that will be highly valued by our customers and communities alike.

You will be able to gain practical experience whilst studying towards your Cert IV in Laboratory Techniques.

You will be involved in hands on training in construction materials testing including collecting construction materials from sites and stockpile samples, testing and calculations.

You will be part of future planning to connect people, communities and industry and manage how we use our road networks and services.

The work you will do, will have a direct impact on the journey millions of people make every day. If you want to have a lasting legacy, here's your opportunity

You're also a rare combination consisting of mathematical whizz, safety focused with excellent data entry skills.


You also love getting your hands dirty and are prepared to work on construction sites with heavy plant and traffic conditions to obtain test samples.

You thrive in a team-based environment, are willing and happy to travel to different sites and at times work away from home, if need be.

You're have a White card or you're willing to obtain one.


You're an Australian or New Zealand citizen OR an Australian Permanent Resident who possesses or is in the process of obtaining a current unrestricted NSW class 'C' drivers' licence.
