Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Hays | Engineering Full time $65,000 - $80,000 per year

A Water Corporation based in Melbourne's inner suburbs seeking a Project Engineer working on renewal projects.

Are you a technically minded project professional with a passion for infrastructure delivery? We're seeking a proactive and adaptable Project Engineer to join a high-performing delivery team working on critical water and sewer renewal projects across Melbourne's western corridor.

This is a hands-on delivery role with a strong focus on stakeholder engagement, safety, and project coordination, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to hit the ground running.

Your new organisation

You'll be joining a collaborative team responsible for delivering multiple concurrent capital works projects, primarily focused on water renewals. Working closely with contractors and internal stakeholders, you'll play a key role in ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

This role is not heavily engineering-design focused, instead, it requires someone with strong technical understanding, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage scope, timelines, and site-based coordination.

Your new role

  • Support the delivery of water and sewer renewal projects from planning through to commissioning and handover.
  • Liaise with contractors, field crews, and internal teams to ensure smooth project execution.
  • Lead site meetings and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders.
  • Monitor project progress, manage risks, and respond quickly to changes in scope or priorities.
  • Ensure all work aligns with relevant legislation, standards, and internal procedures

What you'll need to succeed

  • Extensive experience in project delivery, ideally within the water industry or civil infrastructure.
  • Exposure to water and/or sewer renewals highly regarded.
  • Strong understanding of safety practices and site-based project coordination.
  • Excellent communication skills - confident engaging with crews, contractors, and stakeholders.
  • Agile, adaptable, and able to manage multiple projects in a high-volume environment.
  • Engineering degree (or equivalent experience) preferred.

What you'll get in return

  • Work on meaningful infrastructure projects that directly impact local communities.
  • Be part of a supportive and fast-paced team environment
  • Gain exposure to a variety of projects and stakeholders
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • Initial 9-month contract with the view to extend and paying between $65 - $70 p/h + super
  • Immediate start available - perfect for someone looking to make an impact before the end of the year.
