  • Minimum 6 years’ experience in geotechnical design and construction, including medium to large-scale infrastructure projects.
  • Proven experience planning, supervising, and interpreting geotechnical investigations, including slope stability and remediation design.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard geotechnical software such as gINT, OpenGround, Slope/W, PLAXIS, and Leapfrog.
  • Strong organisational, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to work under pressure and deliver high-quality outcomes to tight deadlines.

Benefits

  • Hybrid working policy and flexible working hours.
  • Paid parental leave for the primary carer of 16 weeks or 32 weeks at half pay and generous unpaid leave benefits.
  • Paid parental leave for the non-primary carer of 4 weeks with the opportunity to access extra paid and unpaid leave of up to 16 weeks if you later become the primary carer.

  • Annual leave loading.
  • Ability to purchase additional leave of up to 20 days for permanent employees.
  • International mobility opportunities.
  • Insurances (life & income protection).
  • Interest free solar energy and bicycle loans.
  • Novated car lease.
  • Ovasaver including discounts, vouchers, cashback, and exclusive offers on more than 300 retailers.
