Cairns, Queensland, Australia FCC Construction Australia Pty Ltd Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Since establishing in Australia in 2020, FCC Construction Australia is committed to expanding the capability of the Australian construction market by leveraging our proven integration approach and demonstrating our reputation for solving complex infrastructure challenges through our innovative solutions.

We draw on our global position as one of the top construction companies globally, operating in over 25 countries for the past 120 years and responsible for delivering some of the largest, most complex, and highly acclaimed projects globally under an integrated business model.

Our activities span all areas of engineering and construction – we are a world leader in successfully delivering civil works and transport infrastructure - roads, railways, airports, hydraulic and marine works, tunnels, bridges – as well as residential and non-residential buildings - hospitals, football stadiums, museums, corporate offices. Currently we're in the top 30 construction companies globally.

FCC Construction Australia has been selected as the principal Contractor on Queensland's largest ever social and affordable housing project. The Project will be the largest modular building development constructed in Australia to date.

Please note that this role is full-time site-based, requiring you to be present at the Project site located in Woree, Cairns (Woree).

The Role:

We are currently seeking a dedicated Graduate Engineer resource to support our end-to-end project delivery. Ideally the successful candidate would be available to start ASAP.

You will contribute to quality assurance and procurement activities and assist in coordinating subcontractors on-site. You will collaborate closely with site supervisors, offering engineering and technical assistance.

Whilst this role will initially support our Cairns-based project, longer term, you will support other projects within our robust pipeline gaining exposure to infrastructure projects across diverse sectors with opportunities to work in metropolitan and regional locations.

More specifically this role will entail:

  • Coordinating day to day activities and serving as a point of escalation for both critical and non-critical incidents.
  • Managing subcontractor work packages, which includes coordinating on-site activities across various work fronts and disciplines.
  • Facilitating the delivery of materials, along with tracking and reporting their status.
  • Conducting quality inspections and reviewing work, including the completion of Inspection Test Plans (ITPs).
  • Tracking of daily progress and productivity and reporting.
  • Contributing to the program of works by providing updates on completed tasks and future activities.

To value-add, it's important you have a proactive "can do" attitude and look to take the initiative to get involved with ad-hoc tasks and proactively seek additional work.

Competencies we're seeking:

  • Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or equivalent.
  • Relevant civil construction/site experience highly beneficial.
  • Have a sound understanding of typical construction specifications used in the Australian construction industry.
  • Excellent stakeholder management experience.
  • Driver's license and own transport.
  • Valid Driver's license

What's in it for you:

  • Generous leave policies to support wellbeing, and industry leading paid parental leave
  • A competitive remuneration package, with potential for further career progression into senior level project roles
  • Access to employee assistance program for employees and families
  • Tailored professional development programs to support your career aspirations

FCC are dedicated to fostering a gender-equitable team and cultivating a culture that mirrors the diversity of the communities we serve. Our commitment lies in establishing a workplace that prioritizes safety and respect for all team members. We actively invite applications from individuals of all ages, cultural backgrounds (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples), abilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

If this sounds like the opportunity you've been waiting for, we look forward to hearing from you soon.
