Freyssinet Australia is seeking a Project Engineer / Estimator with strong hands‑on site experience to join our Melbourne-based Remedial team. This is an opportunity to work on technically complex remediation and strengthening projects that extend the life of critical infrastructure across Australia.
If you enjoy being involved both on-site and during early project phases, shaping methodologies, contributing to tenders, and supporting specialist construction solutions, this role offers true variety and long-term development.
The Role
As a Project Engineer / Estimator in our Remedial division, you will contribute to both site delivery and pre-contract activities—bringing practical construction knowledge into estimating, planning, and tender development.
You’ll collaborate closely with our engineering, technical, and delivery teams to develop innovative, competitive solutions for a wide range of remedial projects across the region.
This position is based in Melbourne.
Key Responsibilities
Apply practical, hands-on construction knowledge to develop accurate cost estimates
Support development of construction methodologies, staging, programs and delivery strategies
Assist in preparing detailed and competitive tender submissions
Work with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain pricing and validate methodologies
Provide engineering input into pre-contract planning, risk reviews and constructability
Participate in site visits, inspections and assessments to support accurate scoping
Types of Projects
You’ll support and help deliver specialist works such as:
Concrete repair and rehabilitation
Protective coatings and marine asset maintenance
Steel and CFRP structural strengthening
Bridge, wharf, industrial, commercial and water infrastructure upgrades
About You
You bring strong technical understanding from the field and thrive in a collaborative, problem-solving environment.
Essential:
Minimum 3–5 years’ experience as a Project Engineer, Site Engineer, or similar role
Hands-on site experience in remedial works, strengthening, marine, or specialist construction
Strong capability in planning, methodologies, costing input, and document preparation
Ability to interpret drawings, scopes, and site conditions
Strong communication, organisation, and a proactive approach
Previous estimating experience is beneficial but not essential – training will be provided for the right engineering-background candidate.
What We Offer
A supportive, specialist, high-performing team
Exposure to complex and high-impact infrastructure projects
Long-term development into estimating, project engineering, or technical roles
