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.

Join a landmark infrastructure project as a Senior Environmental Advisor, that’s set to shape the future of Melbourne's transport network. This is an opportunity to be part of a team delivering critical civil works that will improve connectivity and create lasting benefits for the community. You'll be working in a collaborative environment alongside industry-leading experts, leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies.

About the role:

• Provide onsite environmental support, including training, mentoring, community engagement, inspections, monitoring, and auditing to ensure compliance with environmental requirements.
• Develop and implement the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP), Sub-plans, and Environmental Work Method Statements, and oversee environmental resource planning for the project.
• Supervise the implementation of environmental controls, conduct audits, and ensure effective environmental management practices throughout the construction phase.
• Advise and report to the Project Manager and National Environment Manager on environmental performance and assist with maintaining external certifications and tender inputs.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal teams, subcontractors, and external stakeholders, managing environmental training, inductions, and community engagement initiatives.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• A tertiary qualification in Environmental Engineering/Science and at least five years of experience in the construction industry.
• Strong knowledge of safety and environmental legislation, Australian Standards, industry codes, and Quality Assurance, including a thorough understanding of the Company Quality Plan and duty of care responsibilities.
• Completed training in Blue Books 1 & 2D and Erosion and Sedimentation Control, with a solid understanding of project scope, contractual procedures, and change management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Current C-Class Driver’s licence.

We have a range of additional benefits available for our employees:

• Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
• Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
• Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.

Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.
