Brisbane QLD, Australia

Job Type

Permanent

Workspace

FIFO

  • FIFO | Oil & Gas Infrastructure

  • $150K–$175K + Super + 15% Uplift

  • Career Progression | Project Impact


We’re working with a top-tier infrastructure contractor on a key energy project in the Surat Basin — and they’re looking for a Senior Project Engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to drive real outcomes on site.

This is a role for someone who gets the big picture but isn’t afraid to get stuck in. You’ll be the right hand to the Project Manager — solving problems, moving pieces, and helping keep the show on the road across planning, procurement, delivery, and reporting.


Why this role stands out:

  • Solid 19:9 FIFO roster with a supportive site team and room to grow

  • A business that values initiative, straight-talking, and technical strength

  • Long pipeline of work and opportunity to step into leadership over time


What you’ll be doing:

  • Building and maintaining construction schedules (MSP) and tracking progress

  • Reviewing IFC drawings and spotting issues before they hit site

  • Managing scopes, resolving technical challenges, and coordinating stakeholders

  • Leading forecasting, reporting, subcontractor procurement and delivery

  • Taking ownership of safety, quality and cost outcomes across assigned packages


What we’re looking for:

  • 5+ years’ experience in infrastructure, oil & gas, or civil delivery

  • Degree-qualified in Engineering (Mech or Elec preferred) or equivalent experience

  • Experience working on pipelines, HDPE, or upstream gas projects (ideal but not essential)

  • Strong communicator who’s calm under pressure and confident working with site teams

  • A hands-on problem solver who’s ready to take that next step


This is a great opportunity to take ownership of your role and grow within a high-performing project team. The client moves fast — if it sounds like a fit, let’s have a chat.
