**RoadTek is a commercial business within the Department of Transport and Main Roads. We provide transport infrastructure solutions for projects across Queensland. We are a multi-disciplined organisation with accreditation to national and international standards. This means we value respect, safety, diversity, and inclusion.
You will support the project teams in undertaking civil infrastructure construction, rehabilitation, inspection, servicing, and maintenance activities, guide and assist other employees as part of a work team, and plan complex work activities, to achieve project outcomes. These positions will predominately reside in our construction and rehabilitation teams, though working within other product lines is possible and dependent on overall business needs.
Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Quantify and identify materials, subcontractors and services required during construction.
- Co-ordinate the activities of a small work group to achieve desired outcomes. Accept responsibility for outcomes of assigned work activities.
- Exercise high precision operative skill when using roadmaking plant, small machinery, and equipment and trade skill when performing civil construction works.

- Possession of a Certificate III in Civil Construction applicable to modern transport infrastructure projects or ability to acquire one within 36 months.
- A reasonable amount of travel consistent with industry standards may be required throughout the operational unit and/or the State. You will be entitled to expenses and allowances for such travel.
- RoadTek civil tradespersons are predominately employed in individual operational units located across the state, but at times may be asked to perform work in other areas of the same operational unit or other operational units on a temporary or semi-permanent basis depending on business needs. To maintain commercial viability, civil tradespersons, will be required to implement flexible working arrangements consistent with the arrangements in the current Industrial Instruments which covers mobility and site-specific arrangements.

Additional competencies are classified into categories of work or safety which may be mandatory for some employees due to legislation requirements, and RoadTek supports employees undertaking formal training requiring an established level of numeracy and literacy skills.
- Participation in Civil Trades Development Program (CTDP) is mandatory.
While not mandatory, experience with concrete form setting and finishing, a HR ticket and/or roller ticket would be highly desirable.
