What they need


Greville Consulting is currently seeking Tunnelling / Site Engineers to join a major infrastructure project in Adelaide.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Site Engineer to take the next step in their career, working alongside an experienced project team and supporting the delivery of a major infrastructure project.

The role would suit engineers with experience across major infrastructure, heavy civil construction, underground works or complex construction projects. Experience in tunnelling or around TBM operations will be highly regarded, but is not essential.

The Opportunity
As a Tunnelling / Site Engineer, you will provide day-to-day engineering support to construction teams and contribute to the safe, efficient and successful delivery of project works.
You will be involved across a broad range of site engineering activities, including construction coordination, troubleshooting, temporary works, procurement, QA, reporting and technical support.
This is a hands-on opportunity for an engineer who enjoys being close to construction, solving problems and working as part of a strong project team.
Greville is open to experienced engineers from interstate who are interested in relocating to South Australia for the right opportunity.
Whether you're looking for a change of pace, a major project opportunity, lower living costs or simply somewhere you can enjoy more of your time outside work, Adelaide is worth considering.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide day-to-day engineering support to construction and site teams
  • Coordinate with supervisors and construction crews to support project delivery
  • Assist with troubleshooting and resolving construction issues
  • Support temporary works and construction methodologies
  • Coordinate procurement, materials and site requirements
  • Complete QA documentation, inspections and engineering records
  • Prepare shift reports and maintain accurate project documentation
  • Review drawings, plans and technical information
  • Monitor construction activities against project requirements
  • Support safe, efficient and productive site operations

Skills & Experience

  • Degree qualified in Civil, Mining, Geotechnical Engineering or a related discipline
  • Ideally 3+ years site engineering experience
  • Experience working on major infrastructure or heavy civil construction projects
  • Experience across underground works, tunnelling or TBM projects highly regarded
  • Strong understanding of construction processes and site delivery
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on site environment
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively with supervisors, engineers and construction teams
  • Willing and able to work 12-hour shifts on a 7/3/7/3 roster, including both day and night shifts

Why Join Greville Consulting?
Greville Consulting is a growing Australian engineering and project management consultancy built around people, project variety and genuine support.
Unlike a large corporate environment, Greville offers a tight-knit team culture where you have direct access to experienced leaders and industry professionals who know your name, understand your career goals and are invested in your development.

Why Adelaide?
Adelaide has evolved into a Tier 1 infrastructure market, with billions of dollars being invested across major transport, defence, health, water, energy and civil infrastructure projects.
For engineers considering a move from interstate, Adelaide offers the opportunity to work on major projects without giving up lifestyle.
Think:

  • One of the world's most liveable cities, with an easy, relaxed pace of life
  • A compact city where you can get from one side of Adelaide to the other in around 40 minutes
  • Some of Australia's best beaches right on your doorstep
  • World-class wine regions including the Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills within easy reach
  • Significantly lower cost of living than Australia's larger capital cities
  • Less time commuting and more time enjoying life outside work
  • A growing infrastructure market creating genuine long-term career opportunities

For engineers who have spent years working in larger, more expensive cities, Adelaide offers a chance to work on Tier 1 projects while enjoying a more balanced lifestyle.

Apply
If you're a Site Engineer looking for your next major infrastructure opportunity and are open to experiencing what Adelaide has to offer, we'd love to hear from you.
