Careers

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

There has never been a better time to join our team – with several project wins on the horizon, including a major project with packages to be awarded early 2025, you'll have the chance to be part of exciting new ventures and contribute to shaping the future of infrastructure in Melbourne.

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. 

Join a newly formed project team for a major government road project.  Initially based in the city, you’ll be part of an exciting journey as we transition into the delivery phase. Once we move into the delivery phase, you’ll be based in the eastern suburbs. This is your chance to be part of something impactful from the ground up!

Your next opportunity could be as a Senior Communications & Stakeholder Advisor! In this role, you’ll take charge of strategic communications, foster strong relationships with clients and communities, and ensure seamless project delivery. From coordinating site visits to crafting compelling content and minimising impacts, your expertise will be key to driving project success and enhancing our reputation.

• Stakeholder Relationship Management: Build and nurture strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, and the community, ensuring clear communication and understanding of expectations for successful project delivery.
• Strategic Communication Planning: Develop and implement a comprehensive Stakeholder Relations and Communications Management Plan, ensuring all materials and messages are tailored to meet project goals and minimise community impacts.
• Risk Mitigation & Impact Minimisation: Proactively identify and address potential risks or disruptions to stakeholders and the community, working closely with construction teams to minimise negative impacts.
• Community Engagement & Outreach: Coordinate and manage regular stakeholder meetings, community forums, and site visits, maintaining transparent communication and fostering positive relationships with local residents and businesses.
• High-Quality Communication Delivery: Produce clear, professional communication materials such as newsletters, social media posts, and formal letters, ensuring consistent and effective messaging to all project stakeholders.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• Multi-discipline experience, e.g. corporate communications, stakeholder relations, marketing communications.
