We are seeking a mechanical or civil engineer with five years or more of construction and site experience who can implement Waternish’s systems for site safety, quality, environmental performance and assurance. The role will be based in the ACT and involve travel between construction sites within the ACT and adjacent NSW sites, with opportunities for interstate travel to Waternish’s head office in Adelaide and future interstate projects for a candidate with that ambition.

- An unwavering commitment to maintaining the safety culture of our business
- A civil, mechanical or chemical engineering degree or an equivalent combination of formal qualifications and experience

- An ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with an ability to communicate effectively across construction crews, project managers, and client personnel
