Tamworth, Australia Peoplefusion Full time

- Join a nationally successful civil business expanding across New South Wales

- For ambitious engineers who want influence, not just delivery

- Backed by best practices, built on real trust, with benefits that matter

Where smart engineers shape growth, not just project - backed by best practices, serious benefits, and a business rewriting the rules of civil.

About the Company

This is not your average civil contractor. Backed by tier one systems, nationally successful, and known for delivering complex infrastructure with excellence, this business is now building something significant in Newcastle and across NSW.

They are bringing in smart, entrepreneurial engineers who are looking for more than just business as usual. If you are driven by growth, keen to contribute meaningfully, and want to help shape something bigger while being genuinely supported, heard, and valued, this is the team to join.

This is a place where smart thinking is encouraged, new ideas are welcomed, and your voice genuinely matters. The team backs curiosity, integrity, and action not just as values on a wall, but as the way they show up every day. You will be supported by strong leadership, surrounded by people who care about building better together, and given the freedom to step up and shape your career with confidence.

About the Role

This is a genuine opportunity to accelerate your career and be part of a trajectory that is growing fast, not just in project size and scope, but in people, capability, and regional influence.

As a Senior Project Engineer, you will be entrusted with more than just delivery. You will lead programs, drive commercial and productivity outcomes, mentor others, and engage directly with clients. You will work alongside leaders who lead by example and create space for you to step up and succeed.

Key Responsibilities

- Deliver infrastructure projects end to end, ensuring safety, quality, program, and commercial targets are achieved

- Manage programs using Microsoft Project and oversee real time cost forecasting, procurement, and claims via Jobpac

- Mentor and lead engineering and site teams to deliver high quality outcomes

- Build strong, solution focused relationships with clients and project partners

- Champion a proactive safety culture through site leadership, audits, and risk management

- Drive quality assurance by implementing and maintaining ITPs and QA processes

- Actively support a culture of continuous improvement, team development, and internal promotion

Your Skills and Experience

You are technically sharp and commercially astute, but more than that, you want to contribute, build, and grow. You bring;

- At least five years’ experience in a project engineering role within civil or infrastructure projects

- Strong capability in forecasting, budgeting, cost control, and contract administration

- High proficiency in preparing and delivering project programs

- Experience using Microsoft Project and Office Suite, with exposure to Jobpac and Expert Estimation desirable

- A collaborative leadership style with a focus on mentoring and supporting others

- A Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent

- A practical, humble mindset with a strong desire to step into more responsibility

Why This Role is Different

This is not just a job, it is an investment in your career.
You will be part of a growing local team within a nationally recognised business that truly values its people. You will work with leaders who want you to succeed, not just tick boxes. With a strong pipeline of projects, best practice systems, and a culture that rewards initiative, this is a place where you will be backed to grow, contribute, and shape your future.

Benefits

- Fully maintained ute with fuel card and e-tag

- LAFA - tax free

- 6 additional leave days annually - wellbeing, birthdays, events, and downtime

- Early finish Fridays

- Twelve weeks paid parental leave for primary carers, plus super on unpaid leave

- Annual performance and salary reviews

- Relocation assistance available for the right person

- Strong social culture with team events and genuine peer support
