The role
Reporting to the M&E Director, the M&E Superintendent will take ownership of delivering all mechanical and electrical construction works across the tunnelling scope of this major infrastructure project.
You will lead high-performing multidisciplinary teams and specialist subcontractors, driving the safe, efficient installation of complex tunnel and road systems in line with program milestones and quality expectations. This is a hands‐on leadership role requiring strong technical capability, decisive coordination, and the ability to manage multiple interfaces in a dynamic construction environment.
As a key member of the project leadership team, you will play a critical role in integrating civil and M&E works, proactively resolving interface challenges, and maintaining momentum across the program. You will champion a culture of safety, accountability, and performance while ensuring delivery outcomes are met and exceeded.
Responsibilities
* Lead and oversee the delivery of Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) works across all tunnelling activities
* Supervise and coordinate multidisciplinary teams and specialist subcontractors operating across multiple work fronts
* Manage the installation and integration of critical tunnel systems, including electrical infrastructure, mechanical plant, HVAC, pumping systems, fire and life safety systems, and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
* Coordinate interfaces between M&E and civil/structural construction works to maintain program alignment and construction sequencing
* Utilise digital engineering and systems integration platforms, including Hexagon, to support installation verification, asset integration, and project controls
* Ensure all works are delivered in accordance with approved drawings, technical specifications, quality requirements, and relevant Australian Standards
* Champion a zero‐harm culture by leading safety initiatives, inspections, audits, and toolbox briefings across the workforce
* Monitor construction progress, proactively manage risks, and resolve technical or delivery challenges to achieve project milestones
* Support commissioning, testing, and integration activities to ensure successful handover of operational M&E systems
* Provide accurate reporting, workforce planning, and timely escalation of key issues to project leadership
About You
* Degree or trade qualification in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or related discipline), supported by extensive site‐based construction experience
* 10+ years' experience delivering Mechanical & Electrical works on major infrastructure projects, with demonstrated experience in tunnelling, underground stations, or complex underground environments
* Strong technical knowledge across tunnel M&E systems, including tunnel ventilation, HV/LV power distribution, substations, SCADA and control systems, fire and life safety systems, drainage and pumping, mechanical plant, and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
* Proven experience managing M&E installation within live tunnelling interfaces, coordinating closely with civil, TBM, and structural construction teams
* Experience working within systems integration and digital engineering environments (e.g. Hexagon, BIM, asset integration platforms) highly regarded
* Demonstrated capability leading large multidisciplinary workforces and coordinating multiple specialist subcontractors across concurrent underground work fronts
* Strong understanding of commissioning, testing, and operational handover requirements for tunnel infrastructure assets
* Excellent leadership, stakeholder engagement, and problem‐solving skills, with the ability to drive outcomes in complex, high‐pressure delivery environments
* Demonstrated commitment to safety leadership, risk management, and zero‐harm principles on high‐risk, high‐value construction projects
