About you

  • Excellent communication skills; collaborative, solutions-focused and safety-committed
  • Degree in Commerce, Law, Engineering, Quantity Surveying or related discipline

    Experience in mining or large-scale industrial operations is highly regarded.

Why join us?

  • Diverse, high value work with tangible impact across a major portfolio
  • Competitive salary package with a strong short-term incentive plan
  • Wellness benefits and flexible work in Brisbane weeks
