Manage the project occupation register for land parcels, including timing, documentation, and vacancy readiness.
Coordinate supervisors, project engineers, subcontractors, and traffic management so works are sequenced, resourced, and safe.
Prepare and close out work packs, quality records, and handover documentation for review and sign-off.

What you’ll bring to the role

Tertiary qualification in engineering or a related field.
5+ years’ experience in road maintenance engineering and or road asset management, ideally within large or complex project environments.
Strong working knowledge of maintenance methods, standards, and how to evidence quality for handover.
