About North East Link
The Spark Consortium has been selected to deliver the Central Package of the North East Link Project - Victoria's biggest road project.
The Spark Consortium’s Design and Construction Contractor - which comprises Webuild, CPB Contractors, GS Engineering and Construction and China Construction Oceania - will deliver the twin three-lane tunnels and key interchanges for the project.
The Central Package will be delivered as a Public Private Partnership and provides three-lane twin tunnels that will close the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network from the M80 Ring Road to an upgraded Eastern Freeway, reducing journey times and diverting heavy vehicles away from local roads. Up to 135,000 vehicles will use North East Link every day, reducing congestion in the north-east while maintaining local roads.
About the Opportunity
Exciting opportunity available for a motivated Site Engineer who will play a key role in delivering civil infrastructure works with a focus on stormwater drainage, earthworks, asphalt, and signalling works. The role involves managing daily site activities, coordinating subcontractors, ensuring compliance with specifications and safety standards, and maintaining quality control. The Site Engineer will work closely with project management and design teams to ensure works are delivered on time, within budget, and to required standards. Please be advised that this is a dedicated night-shift role.
This role will be accountable for:
Short term planning and programming of works in conjunction with site supervision and subcontractors
Ensure compliance of the works with technical specifications, applicable legislation, approvals and standards and Spark Risk Management process
Conduct and administer overall job planning and programming including short range and intermediate activities for construction projects for approval by the Project Manager
Undertake cost controlling and estimating as required by the Site Manager
Implement and communicate risk controls and actions involved in delivery and implementation of projects
Ensure sufficient resources are available to maintain environmental compliance and continuous improvement
Review and interpret project drawings, specifications, and ITPs
Liaise with subcontractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth workflow
Maintain daily site records, progress reports, and QA/QC documentation
Ensure compliance with WHS regulations and company policies
Assist with preparing work methodologies, construction programs, and resource planning
Qualifications:
Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering
Minimum requirements for this role:
Proven experience working road construction, preferably in construction or infrastructure projects
Strong understanding of engineering, techniques, and applications
Proficiency in project management software and tools
Experience working with a Tier 1 contractor highly desirable
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment
Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail
What we Offer:
Ongoing career support and development opportunities
Generous parental leave
Strong culture charter
Quarterly social events
Reward and recognition program
Flexible working arrangements
Competitive salary
Whilst we are keen to hear from candidates with proven infrastructure project experience or experience working for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Contractor to be a part of an iconic construction project in Melbourne, Victoria, we also will consider applicants who are seeking to enter or re-enter the industry.
SPARK is committed to equal employment opportunity (EEO) and actively seeks to remove barriers people may face in gaining a successful position on the North East Link Central Package. We value diversity, inclusion and equity through providing a working environment where all employees feel included, valued, and free to bring their different skills, experiences and perspectives.
