Building Cadet & Cadet Engineer

Are you building a career in construction and looking for practical experience on major projects? Our client is seeking a motivated Building Cadet or Cadet Engineer to join its construction team and develop their skills through meaningful, hands-on project exposure.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is studying, recently qualified or has a trade background and wants to build a long-term career in site supervision, project coordination, construction management or engineering.

You will work with experienced Site Managers, Project Managers and Foremen in a fast-paced environment where attention to detail, teamwork and a willingness to learn are valued.

The Opportunity

In this role, you will assist with the day-to-day coordination and successful delivery of assigned construction projects. You will gain exposure to site operations, safety, quality assurance, subcontractor coordination, documentation, inspections and project close-out.

Depending on your background and development goals, the role may provide exposure to both site-based delivery and broader project management activities, including procurement, cost control, design coordination and trade engagement.

Key responsibilities

Assist the Site Manager, Project Manager and Foremen with the efficient running of the site.
Support daily coordination of direct labour, plant, subcontractors and site activities.
Participate in site briefings, meetings and discussions about work requirements, safety and environmental matters.
Ensure workers are inducted and that relevant licences and competencies are recorded.
Support hazard identification, consultation and reporting across the site.
Participate in safety inspections, spot audits and corrective action follow-up.
Assist with recording and investigating incidents, injuries and dangerous occurrences.
Monitor construction activities against project documentation, approved SWMS and required standards.
Complete in-process inspections and check that work is progressing in accordance with drawings, specifications and quality requirements.
Inspect incoming materials and deliveries.
Monitor PPE compliance and support a safe, organised site.
Assist with ITPs, document control, site records and defect management.
Support the management of defects after project completion.
For candidates developing toward engineering or project management, assist with tenders, procurement, design resolution, cost control and subcontractor coordination.
Complete other reasonable duties that support successful project delivery.

About you

We are looking for someone with a positive attitude, strong work ethic and genuine interest in construction. You do not need to know everything on day on but you must be willing to ask questions, take feedback and follow through on your responsibilities.

You will ideally have:

A relevant trade background, construction qualification or be studying toward a construction-related qualification in building, engineering or a similar discipline.
Previous experience on residential or commercial development sites is desirable, but not essential.
The ability to read and interpret construction drawings and documentation.
Basic to strong knowledge of Microsoft Office and a willingness to learn document management systems.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Good organisation, time management and attention to detail.
The ability to work collaboratively with trades, subcontractors, consultants and project leaders.
A reliable, accountable and professional approach.
The confidence to raise issues early and contribute ideas.

What’s on offer

Practical exposure to live construction projects and experienced project leaders.
A genuine pathway to develop your career in construction, engineering or project management.
Mentoring, on-the-job learning and access to structured training.
Regular conversations about your performance, goals and development.
A team environment that encourages people to ask for help, share knowledge and grow together.
A culture built around safety, quality, respect, accountability, integrity and teamwork.
Opportunities to take on increasing responsibility as your skills and confidence develop.
Wellbeing initiatives and team activities that support a connected workplace.

If you are ready to take the next step in your construction career, apply now with your resume and a brief cover letter explaining what you are studying or hoping to develop. Otherwise please contact Harry on 0499 388 375 or via email [email protected].
