Senior Project Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're on the hunt for an experienced Senior Project Engineer to jump into our exciting Emu Plains Seniors Living Project valued at $100m. At Growthbuilt, you'll be a key player in steering project delivery, keeping everything on time, on quality, and on budget. You will work side-by-side with our Senior Project Manager, and oversee a team of Site Coordinators, Graduates and Cadets to help coordinate design, quality, authorities and site operations across the project. Ready to make an impact? Let’s build something amazing together!

ABOUT THE PROJECT

We are thrilled to partner with our long-time client, Uniting, to design and construct their Uniting Edinglassie Village adjacent to their existing residential aged care facility in Emu Plains, NSW. The project includes demolition of 46 existing Independent Living Units (ILUs), and delivery of 147 new ILUs across 5 new buildings (2 to 4 storeys), with a single-level basement carpark, residents' clubhouse, and associated earthworks, landscaping & stormwater drainage.

You will be joining just as our structure phase is about to ramp up; early works, demolition and foundation piling now complete, basement pours have commenced just before Christmas, and our first tower crane has been installed. Now is the ideal time to join our delivery team and coordinate the on-site execution of this large-scale Seniors Living project.

 YOUR DAY TO DAY MIGHT INCLUDE:

• Lead the charge in developing and executing Inspection Test Plans (ITPs). Keep project quality standards on point, and craft innovative solutions when challenges arise.
• Review subcontractor work onsite, double-check quality docs, and ensure everything complies.
• Facilitate smooth communication between clients, consultants, and subcontractors to resolve design and coordination issues swiftly.
• Manage the flow of technical info between design teams and stakeholders, keeping everyone on the same page.
• Supervise the design team to ensure work aligns with timelines and docs.
• Review outputs from consultants and subcontractors to make sure they meet the brief.
• Check tender packages to verify scope, materials, and design logic all match up.
• Assist the Senior Project Manager with contract management and overall schedule monitoring, ensuring everything runs like clockwork.

 ABOUT YOU

You will bring a solid background in project engineering, with a knack for managing multiple moving parts and keeping everything on track. You’re detail-oriented, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication skills are a must, as you’ll be collaborating closely with project teams and stakeholders. A passion for delivering quality work on time and within budget, paired with a proactive problem-solving attitude, will set you up for success in this dynamic role.

Essentials you'll need for this role:

• Degree in Engineering or Construction Management? Check!
• 8+ years post-grad experience in a top tier (T1-T3) engineering role? Even better!
• You've tackled complex commercial, high-rise residential, or mixed-use projects over 30m - and you're ready to level up
• You've done structure/finishing/facade

With a keen eye for detail, top-notch time management, and stellar organisation skills, you're all set to make your mark
