• Champion safety by leading HSEQ initiatives, conducting training, and addressing risks to ensure accident-free project delivery.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• Proven experience delivering civil infrastructure construction projects for State authorities.
• Strong knowledge of company quality procedures, WHS, and environmental legislation, and ability to produce SWMS and ITPs for specific trades.

• Current C-Class Driver’s Licence.

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

• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
