Civil Project Engineer

The ACEREZ consortium, which includes the ACCIONA COBRA Joint Venture (ACJV), has been appointed Preferred Proponent to design and construct the transmission line infrastructure for the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (CWO REZ), as part of Australia’s energy transition, outlined in the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap.

The new transmission infrastructure, which will combine high-capacity transmission lines, energy hubs and related infrastructure, will enable generators such as solar and wind farms and energy storage providers in the CWO REZ to connect to the electricity grid, providing a reliable supply of clean, affordable electricity for households and businesses across NSW while helping to meet the state’s newly legislated Net Zero targets.

The Opportunity

As a Civil Project Engineer, you will play a crucial role in delivering the civil engineering requirements for transmission lines construction projects, with a particular focus on earthworks and the construction and maintenance of access tracks. You will ensure that these critical components are executed with precision, aligning with safety, quality, and environmental standards.

 Specific Tasks Include;

• Lead the planning, execution, and supervision of earthworks and access tracks, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and engineering principles.
• Provide expertise in soil mechanics, erosion control, and the stabilization methods necessary for the successful completion of substation construction projects.
• Oversee the design and maintenance of access tracks, ensuring they meet project requirements and facilitate efficient movement to, from, and within project sites.
• Coordinate with project teams to integrate earthworks and access tracks into overall project design and execution plans.
• Drive a culture of safety and environmental stewardship, ensuring that all activities comply with relevant regulations and best practices.
• Manage project delivery aspects, including scheduling, procurement, quality control, and cost management, specific to earthworks and access tracks.

What we need from you:

• Tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering or a related field.
• Proven track record in successfully delivering civil infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on earthworks and access tracks.
• In-depth knowledge of project management principles, tools, and techniques relevant to civil engineering works.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and negotiation skills, with the ability to lead diverse teams and manage contractor relationships.
• Commitment to safety, quality, and environmental best practices in civil construction.

Take this unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in the renewable energy sector, leveraging your expertise on major infrastructure projects across New South Wales. You'll join a dynamic environment focused on innovation and sustainability, with the chance to drive industry progress and contribute significantly to the shift towards cleaner energy solutions. Be part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to making a lasting impact in the renewable energy landscape.
