As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want.
We are mobilising for a major iconic project in Perth that involves engineering design, earthworks, roadworks, buildings, and services.

Procurement & Tendering: Analyse tenders, liaise with suppliers/subcontractors, and manage purchasing activities.
Project Support: Manage administration tasks, document control, and support systems and reporting processes.
Compliance & Improvement: Ensure adherence to policies and legislation while promoting continuous improvement.
The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:
Formal qualifications or proven experience in contracts/project administration within a principal contractor environment.
Strong skills in MS Office (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook) and familiarity with financial, procurement, and project management systems.
Understanding of head contracts, subcontract terms, and relevant legislation (e.g. Building Code, BIF, BCIPA).
Knowledge of commercial procedures with demonstrated negotiation and risk management abilities.
Excellent communication, with the ability to effectively engage with a wide range of stakeholders.
We have a range of additional benefits available for our employees:
Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.
Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver's Licence and have their own transport.
