- Two well-being days each year to do whatever you need to do to feel good
- Access to long service leave pro rata after 3 years of service
- Generous co-contribution superannuation scheme, which offers up to 15.5%. This includes an 11.5% standard employer contribution, plus an additional 2% employer co-contribution that matches your own 2% contribution.

This opportunity is ideal for experienced project managers looking for a diverse portfolio of minor works projects. It could also be suitable for entry level project managers to refine and develop your project management skills or otherwise learn project management processes whilst being exposed to a wide range of engineering and project management disciplines.
Your day may include travel to sites to confirm project scope, delivery requirements or oversight of construction works. Or otherwise, office-based tasks include preparing project plans, business cases, tender packages and consulting with engineering consultants and stakeholders to confirm project designs.
Whilst we endeavour to allocate projects within your geographical area, due to resourcing you may have projects which require you to travel to remote country areas.
This role will enable you to use and strengthen your project management, contract management, stakeholder management and communication skills by effectively managing and delivering a program of minor works.
Planning, communication, and negotiation skills are key to being successful in this role. The delivery of minor capital and maintenance projects allows our operations team to continue to provide water and wastewater services safely and efficiently to our customers.

We are looking for someone with a solid project management background in the engineering or construction field or you might come from a Trades background.

Tendering and contract award processes
Contractor Management
