Project Engineer

Perth-Based | Future FIFO/DIDO

We’re Grounded. We deliver large-scale remote infrastructure (NPI) and commercial construction projects across WA.

We’re looking for a Project Engineer who wants more than just a site role — someone who wants to be part of the full project journey.

Based in Perth initially, you’ll play a key role in tenders and pre-construction, shaping how projects are won and planned, before moving into site delivery (FIFO/DIDO) to bring those projects to life and support them through to completion and close-out.

Key Responsibilities:

Pre-Construction (Perth)

• Develop construction methodologies for tenders and upcoming projects
• Work closely with Estimators, Planners, and Procurement/Scheduling to align scope, cost, and program
• Contribute to programs, staging, sequencing, and buildability reviews
• Assist with management plans and project documentation
• Identify risks, constraints, and smarter ways to deliver projects
• Support tender submissions with accurate, practical input

 Project Delivery (Site-Based)

• Transition into project delivery/site support as projects are awarded, working closely with Supervisors and Project Managers
• Coordinate and manage quality processes, including ITPs/ITRs, inspections, and non-conformance (NCR) resolution
• Liaise daily with Supervisors and site teams to ensure works are delivered in line with program, quality, and design
• Coordinate day-to-day site activities, subcontractors, and material deliveries to meet program requirements
• Monitor progress, productivity, and quality, ensuring works are delivered in line with plans and specifications
• Review and interpret drawings, specifications, and technical documentation to ensure accurate delivery
• Support cost control, tracking variations, and assisting with reporting and forecasting

Project Close-Out

• Support project completion and close-out, including documentation, handover requirements, and defect management
• Ensure all as-built information, records, and project documentation are accurate and finalised
• Contribute to post-project reviews and continuous improvement across the business

Skills and Experience:

• Relevant qualification in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field
• 3+ years’ experience as a Project or Site Engineer within commercial construction and/or NPI (Non-Process Infrastructure) projects
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies, buildability, and project delivery across both pre-construction and site phases
• Experience working with Estimating, Planning, and Procurement teams during tender and project planning stages
• Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and technical documentation with a practical, delivery-focused mindset
• Exposure to site-based project delivery, including coordination of subcontractors, quality processes, and program management
• Experience across earthworks, concrete, structural, and general building works (or similar)
• Open to FIFO/DIDO or remote project work as required
