About us

Kilcomer Group is a specialist structural concrete and labour hire contractor delivering works for tier-1 and tier-2 builders across QLD, NSW, ACT and SA. We self-perform the technical end of civil construction — formwork, reinforcement and structural concrete on bridges, dams and water infrastructure — and we're known for turning up with the right people and the right paperwork.

Our Canberra workload is growing off the back of bridge renewal works, and we're looking for a Site Engineer to take ownership of delivery on the ground.

The role

Reporting to the Project Manager, you'll be the engineering point of contact on site — running the quality system, keeping the program honest, and making sure the crews have what they need in front of them.

• Full QA management: ITPs, hold and witness points, lot documentation, conformance records, NCR close-out and final handover packs

• Attend site walks, inspections and progress meetings with clients and head contractors, and represent Kilcomer's position on technical matters

• Maintain and update the construction program, tracking actual progress against milestones and flagging slippage early

• Order and coordinate site materials, plant and consumables to suit the program

• Support the site team on setout, reinforcement checks, pour preparation and daily delivery

• Review drawings and specifications, raise RFIs, and manage technical queries through to resolution

• Contribute to site safety and environmental compliance alongside the supervision team

About you

• Minimum 2 years' experience as a Site Engineer on structural concrete projects in Australia

• Tertiary qualification in Civil or Structural Engineering, or equivalent site-based experience

• Solid grounding in QA systems and ITP-driven delivery

• Confident reading structural drawings and specifications

• Strong written communication — a significant part of this role is documentation

• White Card and current driver's licence, comfortable working on active civil sites

• Ability to obtain relevant ACT site inductions and site access clearances

Highly regarded

• Bridge construction experience

• Dam, spillway or water infrastructure works

• Reinforcement management — scheduling, ordering, fixing supervision and conformance

• Experience working as a subcontractor to tier-1 or tier-2 head contractors

• Can do attitude, Team player and a person who always wants to learn more

What we offer

• $95,000 – $115,000 base plus superannuation, depending on experience

• Relocation support — we'll negotiate a package that suits your circumstances, either a contribution toward moving and setup costs or employer-funded accommodation with a living-away-from-home allowance covering rent plus a weekly food and incidentals component

• Visa sponsorship and ACT regional nomination support where required

• Genuine exposure to major infrastructure delivery, working directly with tier-1 builders

• A clear path into senior site and project engineering roles as the ACT business grows

• A small, direct team where your work is visible and your input counts
