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 Project Survey Manager, 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:

• Lead and manage surveying for projects, overseeing financial planning, resource allocation, and compliance with legal and quality assurance requirements.
• Supervise and coordinate surveying teams, subcontractors, and staff to ensure efficient project delivery and alignment with contractual obligations.
• Prepare and manage survey data, ensuring the accuracy of spatial control networks and the creation of digital models for construction processes, including earthworks, utilities, and highways.
• Manage survey requests, equipment calibration, and maintain a register, while ensuring the delivery of accurate quantities and end-of-month claims to project stakeholders.
• Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, providing survey reports, resolving discrepancies, and continuously improving processes to enhance survey operations and technological integration.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• A minimum 3-year degree in a spatial science field (preferably surveying, GIS, or design engineering) and eligibility for registration with the relevant state Board of Surveyors or SSSI’s ESP-AP registration.
• Significant experience across a range of surveying disciplines, with a strong emphasis on civil construction projects.
• Proven ability to manage and lead both direct and subcontracted teams effectively.
• Proficiency in relevant computing programs and software platforms, with advanced knowledge of GNSS and Machine Guidance systems, and the ability to create and maintain essential data systems such as design changes, 'as built' records, and calibration documentation.
• 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.
