Company Background:
JP Smith Recruitment represents a well-established medium-sized engineering firm specializing in civil and structural design as well as project management. This firm operates across various sectors, including local and state government, energy, and private industries. With a strong presence in the Darling Downs & Maranoa regions, the company prides itself on its supportive team environment and long-term employee satisfaction.

  • Defining project scopes and preparing fee proposals;
  • Communicating effectively across all organizational levels and interpreting client requirements.

Candidate Profile:

  • Excellent verbal and written communication abilities;
  • A minimum of 10 years of relevant experience, including at least 5 years in the Australian context.

Additional Requirements:
Applicants must hold a valid unrestricted driver's license and a Construction White Card, as occasional travel to job sites will be necessary.

This role offers numerous advantages, including:

  • Engagement in a wide range of projects with hands-on involvement;
  • Autonomy in your work responsibilities;
  • A professional yet relaxed office environment;
  • Flexible working hours to support work-life balance;
  • Free on-site parking;
