Careers

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

There has never been a better time to join our team – with several project wins on the horizon, including a major project with packages to be awarded in early 2025, you'll have the chance to be part of exciting new ventures and contribute to shaping the future of infrastructure in Melbourne.

Join a landmark infrastructure project as a Senior Sustainability Advisor, that’s set to shape the future of Melbourne's transport network. This is an opportunity to be part of a team delivering critical civil works that will improve connectivity and create lasting benefits for the community. You'll be working in a collaborative environment alongside industry-leading experts, leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies.

About the role:

• Provide onsite sustainability support, including induction, training, mentoring, community engagement, and conducting inspections and audits to achieve compliance with the Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) and environmental requirements.
• Develop and implement sustainability strategies, report on project sustainability performance, and assist with external certifications and tender support.
• Review and ensure compliance with legal and client-specific requirements, including approvals, specifications, and sustainability-related plans.
• Coordinate sustainability data collection, perform compliance audits, and identify sustainability innovations to improve project outcomes.
• Foster positive team collaboration, provide sustainability-related advice to the project team and manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including community engagement.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• Tertiary qualification in Sustainability Engineering, Environmental Engineering/Science, or a related field, with a minimum of five (5) years’ experience in the construction industry.
• Infrastructure Sustainability Accredited Professional (ISAP) certification, with working knowledge of safety and environmental legislation, Australian Standards, and industry codes.
• Understanding of project scope, contractual procedures, and managing change, with GreenStar Accredited Professional (GSAP) certification considered highly desirable.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Current C-Class Driver’s licence.

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

• Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
• Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
• Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.

Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.
