About the role
Our Melbourne based Transport Delivery team is currently working on a broad range of transport infrastructure projects involving bridges for the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) and other transport clients across Australia, delivering major upgrades, replacements, and refurbishment projects.
To support the delivery of work packages and meet the growing demand for our national bridge and maritime structures team, we are currently seeking a Senior Bridge Engineer to join our group.
