About John Holland:

At John Holland, our purpose is simple – we transform lives with everything we do.

Obtain and interpret design information for incorporation into construction activities
Monitor quality and quantities of incoming equipment and materials, ensuring works align with drawings, specifications, and site conditions
Assist in coordinating engineering activities to meet programme requirements and project objectives
Support cost control, forecasting, and reporting to ensure works are delivered within budget
Contribute to planning future requirements including plant, equipment, and labour
Liaise with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and suppliers to support successful project delivery
Maintain accurate records of works completed, costs incurred, and progress

Key Requirements:

A bachelor’s degree in engineering
Demonstrated experience as a Project Engineer, having spent time and progressed up from Site Engineer

Experience on infrastructure projects, ideally within highways, water, or pipeline construction
Strong understanding of project delivery, including planning, cost, and quality management
Ability to support and collaborate within a high-performing project team

We’re about connecting your sense of purpose to ours. We understand that your career is one of the biggest ways to have an impact on the world. We also believe in supporting you as a whole person, not just an employee.

We reward and support our people in so many ways. This starts with being flexible about how different people like to work. From generous leave policies to wellbeing and relationship support, your needs sit at the heart of our employee benefits.

We offer;

Competitive remuneration with salary continuance, and salary sacrifice options.

Great leave benefits including 18 weeks paid parental leave with super and up to an extra 18 weeks of super paid on further periods of unpaid parental leave, multicultural leave exchange and two extra days to prioritise your wellbeing.

Career progression underpinned by our exciting pipeline of work means you’ll have the opportunity to work on iconic projects that are shaping cities and communities.

Learning and development opportunities where you’ll have access to emerging talent programs, building your career through clear career pathways, plus technical and leadership training and development opportunities.

Inclusion, diversity and equity is part of how we work. We want everyone at John Holland to feel that they belong – that’s why we’re working hard every day to foster a more inclusive culture, backed by a business-wide inclusion strategy to bring about meaningful change. We’ve also got active employee resource groups that support our commitments including those around gender equality and reconciliation.

Flexible working that works for you as we know flexibility means different things to different people. Whether it’s flexi-hours, flexi-parenting, flexi-leave, flexi-shifts or flexi-work, we’re committed to helping our people work flexibly.
