TalentWeb is partnering with an established Sydney developer-builder with a strong track record of delivering high-quality residential and mixed-use developments across NSW.
With multiple projects under construction and a significant pipeline of upcoming work, the business is looking to appoint a driven Site Engineer to join its construction team.
This is an opportunity to take on a hands-on role with greater responsibility than a traditional Site Engineer position, working closely with experienced construction professionals and gaining exposure to the broader management of a project.
You will play an important role in the day-to-day delivery of a large-scale residential development, working closely with the site team to coordinate subcontractors, resolve technical issues and keep construction progressing to program.
Responsibilities will include:
- Coordinating day-to-day construction activities, subcontractors and trade interfaces
- Managing RFIs, reviewing construction drawings and resolving technical and design queries
- Working closely with Site Managers and Foremen to maintain program, quality and safety standards
- Coordinating inspections, ITPs, QA documentation and the close-out of outstanding works
- Liaising with consultants, engineers and subcontractors to resolve site issues efficiently
- Monitoring construction progress, identifying potential delays and helping implement practical solutions
- Supporting procurement, material coordination and subcontractor package delivery
- Taking ownership of site issues and contributing to broader project delivery decisions
About You
- Experience as a Site Engineer on Australian construction projects, ideally within Class 2 residential or mixed-use developments
- Exposure to projects valued at $50m+ would be advantageous, although candidates with strong experience managing complex subcontractor packages will also be considered
- A strong understanding of construction methodology, sequencing and subcontractor coordination
- Comfortable reading drawings, managing RFIs and resolving technical issues on site
- A proactive, practical approach, with the confidence to take ownership and follow issues through to resolutionContinue
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with site teams, consultants and subcontractors
- Ambitious, reliable and looking to develop a long-term career in construction delivery
Candidates with relevant experience working for specialist subcontractors who are looking to move into a broader project delivery role are also encouraged to apply.
What's on Offer
- The opportunity to work across substantial residential and mixed-use projects in Sydney
- Genuine exposure to Project Management responsibilities and wider construction delivery
- An established business with a strong pipeline of secured and upcoming work
- Experienced construction leadership and a supportive environment for professional development
- Competitive salary package depending on experience, with long-term career opportunities
This role will suit someone who enjoys being on site, takes pride in solving problems and wants to develop into a well-rounded construction professional rather than remain focused purely on engineering documentation.
