- 6-month contract with likely extension based on project progress
- Monday to Friday roster
About the Team:
This contractor has been delivering civil and infrastructure projects across Queensland for over 25 years. With a stable, experienced team and a strong reputation for quality and reliability, they offer a practical, supportive work environment that values collaboration, mentoring, and on-the-ground problem solving.

- Previous experience on water or sewerage treatment plant projects
- Proven track record in commissioning, particularly pumps and mechanical systems
- Knowledge of SCADA, telemetry, switchboards, and electrical control systems
