Project Engineer – Australia

4 days ago


Manchester Area, United Kingdom Contract Scotland Full time

Does this sound like you?


– Site Engineer, Project Engineer, Section/Senior Engineer, or Sub-Agent?

– Under the age of 35 in Scotland/the UK/Ireland?

– Experience in civil engineering projects, or working with a large main building contractor?

– Ever considered heading to Australia?


Then you need to apply/get in touch.


Contract Scotland work in partnership with PD Project Delivery, an Australian construction and project management company providing civil engineering expertise to successful projects throughout Australia. They deliver everything from roads/highways, rail, water, renewables, and bulk earthworks/groundworks, etc


If the above profile sounds like you (either experience in the civil engineering site/project environment, or relevant experience on large building projects – externals, piling, concrete frames/slipform, etc), then you could have your visa for Australia in 24 hours and be on your way to a new challenge Down Under.


We’ve worked with a large number of Engineers from Scotland/the UK to make the move in 2024 and we can share their recorded experiences with you, before assisting you on the same journey. Plus PD Project Delivery’s leadership team includes people from Scotland/the UK who originally relocated to Australia over a decade ago, so they understand what is involved in relocating from the UK and are set up to support anyone making the move.


Work is predominantly across Queensland, including Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Townsville etc, but projects do arise in other states, such as New South Wales, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.


With massive investment into infrastructure projects, the major projects pipeline in Queensland continues to grow and between 2022/23 and 2026/27 inclusive, the major projects pipeline is valued at a staggering $71.3bn.


As a Project Engineer in Australia, you’ll be;


  • Coordinating all aspects of projects and delivering key construction requirements in line with safety, quality, budget & time.
  • Conducting site inspections and ensuring quality control
  • Attending project meetings, preparing progress updates, and maintaining clear communication with clients.
  • Overseeing project timelines, budgets, and resource allocations
  • Providing technical expertise and support to project teams
  • Keeping track of and reporting project progression, identifying potential risks, and devising strategies for risk mitigation.


If you would be interested in hearing more details about this role, or indeed about other International roles, then please apply to discuss further.


We’ll be holding events in Scotland in late January 2025 around relocating to Australia, so we can also extend an invite to those.
