Seymour Whyte, together with Vinci Grande Projects and Beca, has been chosen by ICON Water to deliver the Design and Construct upgrade of the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre - the ACT’s main wastewater treatment facility and the largest of its kind in inland Australia. This four-year project will modernise the plant’s waste handling systems, support future growth, and prepare for potential changes to air emission standards. Located near central Canberra, the upgrade will strengthen and future-proof critical infrastructure for the region.

As a Senior Supervisor you’ll play a key role in delivering complex mechanical installations and ensuring works are executed safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

You’ll be responsible for leading crews and subcontractors across mechanical scopes such as treatment systems, pumps, pipelines, processing equipment and associated infrastructure.

About the role:

• Lead and supervise mechanical works on site, ensuring alignment with program, quality and safety requirements
• Coordinate subcontractors and self-perform crews across installation and commissioning activities
• Drive a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with all site and regulatory requirements
• Work closely with engineers and project teams to manage interfaces and resolve issues
• Monitor progress, productivity and resource allocation across mechanical scopes
• Support planning, sequencing and staging of works in a live or complex environment.

About you:

• Proven experience as a Supervisor or Senior Supervisor on mechanical installation projects
• Background in water, wastewater, civil, utilities or heavy industrial projects highly regarded
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems such as pumps, treatment equipment, dosing systems or similar
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage subcontractors on complex builds

• Commitment to safety, quality and delivering outcomes

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

• Enjoy shopping, fitness and wellbeing discounts through our Flare and WHEREFIT partnerships including discounted gym memberships and classes.
• Health & Wellbeing: discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years.
