Assess flood modelling, site levels and ground conditions to identify and mitigate potential construction risks.
Review civil drawings, tender packages and specifications for accuracy, efficiency and compliance.
Partner with internal design, development and construction teams to ensure successful project outcomes and alignment across all stages of delivery.
Support a culture of safety by promoting awareness and compliance with Gemlife Groups Work Health and Safety Management system.

The successful applicant will bring:

10+ years' experience in civil construction and infrastructure delivery, ideally across both contractor and client-side environments
Proven success managing civil contractors and large-scale infrastructure packages
Strong experience reviewing, interrogating and improving civil designs and documentation
Demonstrated expertise in value engineering, cost optimisation and risk mitigation
