The posting

About the role

We're seeking an experienced Civil Engineer and Project Manager to take Council infrastructure projects from initial concept through to construction readiness, and support delivery through to completion.

The focus is pre-construction: scoping, investigations, feasibility, design management, cost estimating and procurement. You'll also provide senior technical engineering advice to Council officers and management, and represent Council at regional forums such as FNQROC and the RRTG.

Projects span a wide range of asset types, including community facilities, drainage, transport, water supply and wastewater.

  • Prepare preliminary and detailed cost estimates
  • Develop delivery strategies and procurement methodologies
  • Identify grant funding opportunities and prepare grant submissions
  • Coordinate approvals and permits

Design management

  • Manage consultants through investigation, concept, detailed design and documentation
  • Review designs for constructability, functionality and value for money
  • Identify design gaps, risks and value engineering opportunities

Procurement

  • Prepare tender documentation and procurement packages
  • Lead tender evaluations and make contract award recommendations

Construction support (as required)

  • Project manage construction and administer contracts
  • Manage variations, programs, site inspections and project completion
  • Resolve technical, contractual and construction issues

Technical advice and governance

  • Provide engineering advice on roads, pavements, drainage, stormwater, bridges, culverts, asset renewal and design compliance
  • Review engineering reports, drawings, specifications and contractor proposals
  • Contribute technical input to Council reports and respond to public technical queries
  • Manage project reporting, risk and governance

  • Degree (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering
  • Significant experience in civil infrastructure project management
  • Proven track record taking projects through investigation, design, procurement and construction
  • Demonstrated pre-construction project development experience
  • Experience managing engineering consultants
  • Experience preparing tender documentation and running tender evaluations
  • Construction management experience
  • Strong understanding of cost, program, risk and contract management
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, stakeholder management and negotiation skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities independently

Desirable

  • Current RPEQ registration
  • Local government experience

Other requirements

  • Able to work on-site in Mossman, with regular site inspections and meetings
  • Own mobile phone and any personal devices (desk and PC provided)

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
