  • 6-month contract with likely extension based on project progress
  • Monday to Friday roster

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.

What You'll Bring:

  • Mechanical or electrical engineering background
  • 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
  • Ability to work independently and lead commissioning phases
  • Comfortable mentoring junior engineers and working collaboratively

Why This Role?

  • Be part of a high-impact infrastructure upgrade
  • Work through the full transition from build to commissioning
  • Supportive team with a long-standing presence in the industry
  • The company is committed to finding the right person, your expertise is valued
