Seymour Whyte is looking for a Project Engineer to join the North Wilton project, focusing on the planning and delivery of major civil and earthworks components.

North Wilton Project
Seymour Whyte is delivering the North Wilton Hume Highway Ramps and Bridge project, constructing new northbound entry and southbound exit ramps and a new bridge to improve access to and from North Wilton. The project also includes converting the existing Niloc Bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, installing traffic signals, earthworks, drainage, landscaping, lighting, and signage to create a safer and more efficient transport network for all road users.
This upgrade is a key part of supporting North Wilton’s growth, easing congestion on local roads and improving travel times for the wider community. By better connecting new residential areas with the Hume Motorway and surrounding centres, the project enhances accessibility, safety, and future-proofing for the expanding region.
