Join a respected Canberra builder with a strong project pipeline, a hands-on leadership team and genuine opportunities to grow your career.

Looking for a role where you can take ownership on site, learn from experienced construction professionals and build your career delivering quality projects across Canberra?

This is an opportunity to join an established local construction business that has built its reputation on quality delivery, strong client relationships and a practical, solutions-focused approach to construction. With a solid pipeline of projects and an experienced team behind you, you'll have the opportunity to develop your technical skills, broaden your project experience and make a tangible contribution to project success.

The business offers an environment where people are trusted to take responsibility, encouraged to contribute ideas and supported to grow within their roles.

  • Assisting with procurement, material orders and subcontractor coordination.
  • Maintaining accurate site records, daily reports and project documentation.
  • Working collaboratively with the broader project team to identify risks, resolve technical challenges and maintain project milestones.
About You
You will be a proactive and organised Site Engineer who enjoys being on site, solving problems and working as part of a delivery-focused team.
To be successful, you will have:
  • A degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline.
  • Previous experience in a Site Engineer role within commercial construction.
  • A sound understanding of construction methodologies, drawings and specifications.

  • A strong pipeline of projects offering stability and continued career development.
  • Work alongside an experienced, hands-on project delivery team.
  • Greater ownership and involvement in the successful delivery of projects.
  • A collaborative environment where initiative, accountability and quality workmanship are valued.
  • A competitive salary package reflective of your experience.
