Senior Project Engineer – Bulk Earthworks
The Hunter is humming again — and so are the major mine expansion projects driving the region’s growth.
- $180k plus super plus FMV/vehicle allowance plus TOT
- More work for a long-term stability in the region
- Growth and development opportunities
One of NSW’s most respected mid-tier civil contractors has secured a series of large-scale bulk earthworks packages on active mine sites — and they’re looking for a Senior Project Engineer to take a leading role in delivery.
Why This Contractor? They’re not about bureaucracy or burnout. This is a mid-tier with a reputation for doing things right — delivering quality work, looking after their people, and building trust with clients. You’ll get real responsibility, clear progression, and the satisfaction of seeing major projects take shape under your watch.
The Opportunity You’ll be joining a delivery-focused team tackling $30M–$80M earthworks and infrastructure projects, including cut-to-fill operations, haul roads, drainage, and site civils for major mining clients.
As Senior Project Engineer, you’ll work closely with an experienced Project Manager, leading technical delivery, program control, cost tracking, and on-site coordination. You’ll be trusted to run your area of works, with support that empowers — not smothers.
What You’ll Get
- Work on major mine infrastructure and expansion projects across the Hunter
- 5/2 DIDO roster (home weekends) — ideal for those based in the Hunter Valley or surrounds
- Strong base salary + fully maintained vehicle + site allowances
- A long pipeline of upcoming projects — offering career stability and progression
- Mentorship from a capable leadership team who back their people and promote from within
About You You’re a Senior Project Engineer (or experienced Project Engineer ready to step up) with:
- Background in bulk earthworks, mine civils, or heavy infrastructure projects in Australia
- Experience managing subcontractors, QA, budgets, and schedules in live environments
- Solid technical grounding and commercial awareness
- The ability to bring the team together — practical, proactive and safety-minded
