With a strong pipeline and clear direction ahead, we're now looking for someone who can step into a senior role and help lead both projects and people.

• Managing projects end-to-end, including programmes, contracts, and client relationships
• Supporting business growth through strong client engagement
• Mentoring junior engineers and helping lift capability across the team
• Driving quality outcomes while maintaining a strong focus on health and safety

What you'll bring
You're not just technically strong you understand how projects actually run. You've been in the detail, solved problems on the ground, and know how to bring people with you.

• 7+ years' experience in civil engineering/ project management, ideally in a senior capacity
• Experience across areas such as roading, transportation, land development, or three waters
• Experience in road maintenance would be benefical.
• Proven ability to manage projects from start to finish
• Confidence working with clients, contractors, and internal teams

What's on offer

• Salary negotiated based on your experience
• Vehicle provided for full personal use

• Relocation support to help you make the move

Why this role?
Because you want to do good work, with good people, in a place where it actually matters.

At Pinnacles Civil, we build more than infrastructure. We build careers, capability, and long-term relationships. It's a team that works hard, has a laugh, and backs each other when it counts.

If you're ready for that next step, we'd like to hear from you.
