Join Seymour Whyte for the Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) Upgrade Project, a major civil infrastructure project being delivered as a joint venture with John Holland and focused on enhancing the rail transport network between Beerburrum and Nambour on the Sunshine Coast. Once completed, B2N will improve the North Coast Line, making travel faster and better connecting the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay and Brisbane.

What the project involves:

  • Rail Duplication: The core of the project is the delivery of a new, dual-track rail line between Beerburrum and Nambour.
  • Infrastructure Upgrades: This will also involve associated infrastructure improvements, potentially including the construction of new stations and upgrading existing ones.
  • Community Benefits: The upgrade aims to improve public transport connectivity for the growing Sunshine Coast region and support the growing population by providing more travel options and diverting traffic.

About the role:

We are seeking a Design Coordinator to support construction delivery across the B2N project by coordinating temporary works design activities, documentation, and key interfaces to ensure safe, compliant and efficient outcomes.

You will: 

  • Support the coordination of temporary works design activities to enable construction delivery
  • Collate site inputs, staging information, and design constraints for designers and stakeholders
  • Coordinate the distribution of drawings, updates and project documentation
  • Track design packages, reviews, approvals, and closeout actions in line with program requirements
  • Follow up on outstanding design actions, RFIs and deliverables with key stakeholders
  • Assist in reviewing submissions for completeness and compliance
  • Maintain registers for design packages, submissions and approvals
  • Attend site and coordination meetings, recording actions and maintaining accurate project records

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate:

  • Bachelor of Engineering, Construction Management, Business or a related discipline
  • Experience in design or project coordination, or construction support roles on major infrastructure projects (including rail, road, civil and structures)
  • Experience coordinating design documentation, comments, reviews and approvals
  • Strong document control, record keeping and tracking capabilities
  • Familiarity with temporary works coordination or temporary works design processes
  • Exposure to TMR and/or Queensland Rail standards and procedures

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

We have a range of benefits available for our employee:

  • Financial Wellbeing: competitive remuneration, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
  • Generous Leave Benefits: purchased leave program, paid parental leave, and birthday leave – have your birthday off on us!
  • Career Development: training, mentoring and leadership development programs.
  • Health & Wellness: discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
  • Enjoy shopping, fitness and wellbeing discounts through our Flare and WHEREFIT partnerships including discounted gym memberships and classes.
