AT A GLANCE

• Site Foreman/Supervisor (Civil) — trade background essential
• South East Queensland — water infrastructure projects
• Commencing at Pine Valley, then Wivenhoe Dam (late this year) and Ripley (early next year)
• Ongoing pipeline — Seqwater panel work across SEQ

ABOUT THE ROLE
David the Company is a recruitment agency hell-bent on connecting great clients with terrific talent.

Our client is a specialist civil and structural contractor delivering water infrastructure for South East Queensland's water authorities — thin upgrades to existing treatment plants.
It's their lane, and they've been in it for a long time.
It's time they brought on an additions Site Foreman/Supervisor to add to the crew for a run of upcoming projects.
 
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY?
This isn't a one-and-done gig. Our client sits on the panel for all Seqwater projects across South East Queensland, which means one project rolls into the next.
You're not signing up for a single gig that ends in a redundancy conversation six months from now — you're signing up for a pipeline.
You'll kick things off at Pine Valley, working alongside the current supervisors for a few months before stepping onto your own patch. Consider it a proper handover, not a sink-or-swim start.
 
THE PROJECTS

• Now: Pine Valley — settling in, learning the client, learning the crew
• Late this year: Wivenhoe Dam
• Early next year: Ripley
• Ongoing: further Seqwater treatment plant upgrades throughout SEQ as they come up

Real infrastructure, real water security for the region — not a single flashy job, but a body of work.

WHO THIS SUITS
You've come up through a trade — that's non-negotiable — and you've picked up solid, broad experience along the way. Ideally you've had a hand in:

• Earthworks
• Pipework
• Concrete works and formwork
• Mechanical

You don't need to be the world expert in all four, but the more boxes you tick, the better this fits. You're someone who's comfortable running a site, not just working on one — keeping a crew moving, keeping the client happy, keeping the program on track.
 
NON-NEGOTIABLES

• Trade background (essential)
• Experience across earthworks, pipework, concrete/formwork and mechanical (preferred — the more the merrier)
• Willing to base out of Pine Valley initially, before rotating to Wivenhoe Dam / Ripley
• Legal right to live and work in Australia

If trade background isn't part of your story, this one's not for you.
No hard feelings.
 

SOUND LIKE YOU?
If you've got the trade ticket and the treatment-plant runs on the board, we'd like to hear from you. Get in touch — or if you know someone who fits the brief better than you do, send them our way too.
