The Opportunity

Every now and then, a project comes along that completely resets the benchmark for a city. This is that project.

Positioned in the heart of Surfers Paradise, this $400M+ iconic tower is set to become one of the most prestigious architectural landmarks on the Australian coastline. As a highly successful, fully integrated developer-builder, we control the entire lifecycle of our projects. This means no adversarial client relationships—just an uncompromising focus on safety, design excellence, and world-class delivery.

We are looking for a heavy-hitting Senior Project Engineer who wants to step away from the mundane and take ownership of a massive, complex high-rise build. If you have the technical grit to handle a mega-scale structure and the finesse to deliver flawless luxury, your next career chapter starts here.

The Role

Reporting to the Project Manager, you will be a critical leader on site, driving the engineering team and managing substantial commercial and structural packages. This is a high-visibility role requiring deep technical expertise in large-scale vertical construction.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Major Structural Deliveries: Lead complex structural packages, including deep basement excavations, specialized piling/dewatering (essential for the GC terrain), high-cycle post-tensioned slabs, and jump-form systems.

• Procurement & Package Management: Own the letting and management of major multi-million-dollar subcontracts, managing scopes from inception to final account.

• Design & Services Integration: Coordinate heavily with in-house architectural and services teams to resolve complex constructability challenges before they impact the critical path.

• Programming & Financial Control: Drive look-ahead schedules, manage variations and progress claims, and relentlessly mitigate risks to keep this mega-project on time and on budget.

• Mentorship: Actively mentor and develop site and project engineers within a high-performing project team.

About You

You are a seasoned engineer who thrives under the pressure of a massive site. You know what it takes to move a tower into the sky safely, efficiently, and to a premium standard.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or Construction Management.

• Minimum 5+ years of experience with a reputable Tier 1 or top-tier Tier 2 builder in Australia.

• Proven experience working on high-rise residential or mixed-use towers ($150M+ single-project value is essential).

• Strong technical aptitude in deep basements, heavy structures, and high-end architectural finishes.

• Commercial acumen—you know how to manage contracts fiercely but fairly.

• A collaborative attitude that fits seamlessly into a developer-builder environment.

What’s on Offer?

We build luxury, and we reward our team accordingly.

• A Resume Goldmine: The opportunity to put a $400M+ iconic Surfers Paradise landmark at the very top of your project list.

• True Autonomy: The backing of an integrated developer-builder model where decisions are made fast, and quality is never sacrificed for a third-party margin.

• Top-Tier Compensation: An exceptional salary package designed to attract and retain the best talent in the country.

• Gold Coast Lifestyle: Enjoy world-class beaches and a premium coastal lifestyle while working on a project of capital-city scale.
