At ECB Group we are working with an important multinational company dedicated to water treatment infrastructure activities. For them, we are looking for a
Desalination Construction Lead
in
Australia
.
As Construction Lead, the selected candidate will be responsible for leading the development of the construction methodology, staging, and delivery strategy for the Desalination Plant during the tender phase of the Northern Water Project.
This is a pre-construction, office-based role, focused on planning and shaping the construction approach, with no physical construction taking place during this stage. The role ensures that the proposed construction methodology for the desalination plant is safe, feasible, efficient, and aligned with the overall bid strategy.
The role provides vital technical and engineering support across all mechanical aspects of the plant including pipework, pumping systems, modular process units, and mechanical packages. It is envisaged that this position will flow to execution (if project is awarded) in equivalent position.
Responsabilities:
* Lead the development of a detailed and realistic construction methodology for the Desalination Plant, covering all major elements and interfaces.
* Coordinate with design, planning, estimating, environmental, and stakeholder teams to ensure the construction approach is fully integrated into the tender submission.
* Input in definition of site layout, temporary works, staging, logistics, and interface strategies. Ensure alignment with design to guarantee buildability, sequencing logic, and construction efficiency.
* Work closely with estimators to inform work packaging, subcontracting strategy, and construction productivity assumptions.
* Support the planning team in building a realistic construction schedule, with focus on desalination plant sequencing and critical path analysis.
* Identify and document construction risks and corresponding mitigation strategies for inclusion in the bid.
* Provide technical input to procurement strategy, particularly where construction method influences subcontract scope, timing, or delivery risks: DfM and modularization.
* Attend workshops and JV coordination meetings, contributing technical construction insights specific to the desalination facility.
¿Whats is needed?
* Engineer Degree, preferable Industrial, or higher engineering.
* 10+ years experience in the construction of large-scale water infrastructure, ideally including desalination plants or similar complex industrial process facilities.
* Deep technical understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of desalination plants: civil, building, mechanical, electrical and automation systems.
* Collaborative, solutions-oriented approach with ability to work under time pressure in a complex team environment.
* English high level.
* Spanish high level.
¿Whats we offer?
* Permanent contract with direct incorporation into the staff of our client.
* Attractive salary package.
* Stable opportunity in a leading company in the market.
