Project Engineer

Trade · Perth WA, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000/yr

A Project Engineer or Senior Project Engineer is needed for major civil, marine and recreational developments across Western Australia. The job title alone is not what counts here. The employer wants verified professional capability: proper engineering qualifications, practical site experience and solid project coordination skills.

Engineers in this team are trusted to take ownership. You will cover technically varied construction work, coordinating contractors, handling interfaces and solving problems before they affect delivery. Practical judgement carries as much weight as technical knowledge.

Work sponsorship is available for suitably qualified international professionals. Make sure every qualification and experience claim you submit is accurate and can be checked.
