• Use project document and record management systems for performance reporting
• Support budget preparation, cost forecasting, and production reporting
• Coordinate interfaces across civil, structural, geotechnical, and safety disciplines
• Maintain working knowledge of contract scope, PSR, and project specifications

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong financial and commercial acumen
• Solid understanding of project management frameworks, standards, and contractual requirements
• Knowledge of design, quality, safety, and environmental management plans
• Understanding of design, planning, and legislative requirements for major infrastructure projects

Qualifications and Experience:

• Tertiary qualifications in Civil Engineering, Construction, or related discipline
• Experience in tunnelling, underground works, or major construction projects
• Background in project engineering, design interfaces, and onsite delivery
• Experience in cross passages, ground support, excavation, or waterproofing (advantageous)

Skills and Attributes:

• Strong planning capability across multidisciplinary scopes
• Ability to deliver work packages to time, budget, and safety requirements
