  • Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering (or similar)

  • Proven Civil Construction leadership experience in QLD

  • Strong commercial and operational acumen

  • A natural relationship builder who can influence at all levels

  • Someone who wants to increase their ownership, impact and growth

 

What’s in it for you

  • Career-defining role in a high-growth business

  • Work alongside well-respected, hands-on leaders and mentors

  • Join a team that is driven, down-to-earth, and high performing

  • Exposure to diverse and technically challenging projects

  • A culture that genuinely values flexibility, collaboration, and development

 

Why this role stands out

  • Leadership: Learn from proven leaders building something special

  • Impact: Influence projects from cradle to grave

  • Growth: Step into a role with real upward trajectory

  • Team: Smart, capable people who enjoy what they do
