Senior Project Engineer (Precon Manager)

Why is this Senior Project Engineer role for you?

You’re an Senior Project Engineer who has always enjoyed the front-end process of a project. You know that getting it right makes delivery a whole lot easier and gives you an excellent chance to make a consistent profit.

You’ve always enjoyed looking at the design of projects and working out how to make it more efficient, how to improve methodology and what is best practice for the construction stage.

You don’t need to have previous ECI or preconstruction experience for this role. Your experience on site is what you’ll bring to the table, knowing what will work, spotting problems early and explaining better options to clients and consultants. Strong programming skills and a good commercial head will give you a solid base to build on.

You’d work on new projects in the $10–$100 million range and, after initial training and support, you’d be across 3 projects at a time after 6 months.

Salary will start in the $190–$230k package range plus a yearly bonus (paid out for the past 10 years). Other perks include salary insurance, a wellbeing scheme, a parental leave scheme and regular social events that help explain why they had 91% staff retention last year.

If you want to work fewer hours, no longer work Saturdays and build your career in preconstruction, then this is the role for you.

What can you tell me about the company?

I can tell you a tonne of stuff about how great they are, but you won’t really know that until you start working there.

Some of the basics are that they are privately owned, have 240 staff and have operated for over 35 years.

The team enjoys regular social events, they celebrate success and they provide paid training, salary insurance and discounted life insurance that protects you and your family’s future.

If you are a fitness and wellbeing nut then you’ll love weekly paid-for yoga, PT, cycling events and touch footy.

With all this activity, the team gets together for well-earned Friday drinks and a game of pool and table tennis if you are in the office.

This role sounds great, but what experience are you looking for?

We’d love to speak with you if you tick the following 4 attributes:

• You’re an SPE with 5+ years’ experience across project engineering, supervision or management in Australia, including new-build projects worth $20 million plus
• You’ve been involved in live environments, complex builds, excavations and worked on structures within projects
• Working on ECIs and bid management really interests you. Being across a few things and juggling tasks is second nature to you, and what you don’t know you are very keen to learn
• You are a positive and astute communicator who can see the bigger picture and understands the importance of building and maintaining relationships at all levels
