Reporting to your Project Manager, you will be given the opportunity to work alongside a supportive and collaborative delivery team where you will be responsible for your assigned area's costs, daily and weekly project analysis, quality assurance, and weekly reporting.

Duties will include:

• Implementing or creating innovative, cost-efficient construction methodologies and techniques;

• Planning and implementing the procurement of materials and subcontractors to achieve construction programs;
• Working with Supervisors to recognise variations, quantity increases or decreases and any additional scope of works to produce appropriate variation correspondence;
• Monitoring day costs for activities and adjusting if unit costs are excessive;
• The preparation and analysis of the end-of-month project costs report with the Project Manager;
• Implementing environmental controls where the risk to the environment is serious enough to require monitoring.

Ideally you will be RPEQ qualified or have the ambition to achieve this – we will fully support you in this.

You may be an experienced and talented Site Engineer ready to step up, or a seasoned Project Engineer looking for your next move.

Either way, you will need:

• A Civil Engineering degree;
• Min 3+ years' experience on Road/Bridge/Infrastructure projects;
• An understanding and experience of self-performing and sub-contract works;
• A proven track record in HSE compliance and safety;

• Excellent analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills;
• Be self-motivated and adaptable with a 'can do' attitude;
• Willing to travel and work away from home on various projects when required;
• Able to provide excellent references.

In return, you will be continuously challenged on a diverse range of projects, have regular reviews so you can truly advance your career, and get the chance to share in the success of a rapidly growing Tier 2 where your efforts will be recognised and valued.
