About the opportunity

Altrad is seeking an experienced Project Engineer to join our established project team delivering major structural remediation works in Tom Price, Western Australia.

Working a 2:2 FIFO roster ex Perth, this site-based opportunity offers an excellent work-life balance and the chance to contribute to ongoing structural integrity and remediation works across a major mining operation.

Reporting to the Project Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the planning, coordination and execution of structural remediation activities, working closely with construction supervisors, subcontractors and project stakeholders to ensure works are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required quality standards.

This is a hands-on engineering role suited to someone who enjoys being involved in field execution, solving technical challenges and driving project outcomes in a brownfield mining environment.

In this role, you will:

• Support the planning, coordination and execution of structural remediation works, ensuring alignment with project schedules, specifications and quality requirements.
• Develop and manage construction work packs, scopes of work, technical documentation and supporting engineering deliverables.
• Coordinate subcontractor activities, including scope development, work planning, progress monitoring and performance management.
• Work closely with construction supervisors to support field planning, lifting activities, permit requirements and day-to-day execution.
• Prepare and maintain quality assurance documentation, including MDRs, ITPs, ITRs, weld maps and inspection records.
• Manage technical queries, RFIs and Management of Change (MOC) processes, ensuring engineering issues are resolved efficiently.
• Coordinate procurement and material requirements, including structural components, to support construction schedules and minimise delays.
• Monitor project progress, contribute to reporting and identify opportunities to improve productivity and delivery performance.
• Ensure engineering and construction activities comply with Australian Standards, client specifications and Altrad's HSEQ requirements.

About you

You are a proactive and technically capable Project Engineer with experience supporting structural, mechanical or civil construction works within mining or heavy industrial environments. You are comfortable working across both engineering and field execution, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.

To be successful, you will have:

• Bachelor of Engineering qualification in Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
• Minimum 3 years' experience in a Project Engineering role within mining, construction or heavy industry.
• Demonstrated experience in brownfield construction, structural remediation or structural integrity works.
• Strong understanding of mining standards, Australian Standards and construction compliance requirements.
• Proven experience developing work packs, ITPs, ITRs, MDRs and other project quality documentation.
• Experience managing subcontractors, procurement activities and construction schedules.
• Sound understanding of welding documentation, weld maps, NDT requirements and inspection processes.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and technical documentation.
• Strong planning, problem-solving and stakeholder communication skills.
• Experience working on structural remediation or sustaining capital projects within operational mining environments will be highly regarded.
