* Drive quality assurance, risk management, and compliance with safety and environmental requirements
* Monitor progress, maintain accurate reporting, and ensure programme adherence
* Use project document and record management systems for performance reporting
* Support budget preparation, cost forecasting, and production reporting
* Coordinate interfaces across civil, structural, geotechnical, and safety disciplines
* Maintain working knowledge of contract scope, PSR, and project specifications
What We're Looking For:
* Strong financial and commercial acumen
* Solid understanding of project management frameworks, standards, and contractual requirements
* Knowledge of design, quality, safety, and environmental management plans
* Understanding of design, planning, and legislative requirements for major infrastructure projects
Qualifications and Experience:
* Tertiary qualifications in Civil Engineering, Construction, or related discipline
* Experience in tunnelling, underground works, or major construction projects
* Background in project engineering, design interfaces, and onsite delivery
* Experience in cross passages, ground support, excavation, or waterproofing (advantageous)
Skills and Attributes:
* Strong planning capability across multidisciplinary scopes
* Ability to deliver work packages to time, budget, and safety requirements
* Proficiency in Microsoft Suite, Primavera P6, and AutoCAD
* Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem‐solving skills
* Ability to work effectively in confined, high‐risk environments
