Snowy 2.0, currently under construction, is Australia's largest committed renewable energy project. This nation‑building project will provide on-demand energy and large‑scale storage for many generations to come. About the position: As our Senior Project Engineer, you are the eyes and ears on the ground for the Snowy 2.0 Owners team. Reporting directly to the Project Manager , your core mission is to oversee contractor activities as the project transitions from primary excavation into the critical structural completion phase. You will be instrumental in overseeing Formwork, Reinforcement, and Pour (FRP) activities, ensuring the built product meets all contractual requirements. More than just monitoring progress, you will proactively spot and solve potential issues before they become legacy problems, ensuring the Snowy 2.0 asset performs safely and successfully for generations to come. Key Responsibilities: Champion Safety First: Lead by example to create a culture where health and safety are non‑negotiable, ensuring safety plans for high-risk FRP activities (like heavy lifting, steel fixing, and concrete pumping) are actively implemented and aligned with our core values. Oversee FRP and Structural Works: Keep a close, daily watch on underground construction—specifically formwork installation, reinforcement placement, and concrete pouring—to ensure everything aligns perfectly with the latest IFC drawings and specifications. Drive Quality in Concrete Construction: Monitor all aspects of the structural build, conducting pre‑pour inspections, checking rebar spacing, verifying concrete quality and curing processes, and proactively catching potential quality drops before they happen. Ensure Transparency and Accountability: Drive strict quality assurance by reviewing Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) and actively participating in critical witness and hold points before any concrete is poured. Keep the project on track by assessing lookahead schedules, swiftly managing Non‑Conformance Reports (NCRs) to resolve quality deviations, and reviewing contractor claims to maintain complete transparency. About the location: This role is located on site working a 14/7 FIFO roster. Standard FIFO camp style arrangements are included. About you: The Right Foundation: A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a similar field, making you eligible for Corporate Membership with Engineers Australia. Proven Track Record: At least 5 years of hands‑on experience working as a civil or tunnel engineer on large‑scale infrastructure projects. Technical Expertise in FRP: Deep, practical knowledge of Formwork, Reinforcement, and Pour (FRP) methodologies, structural concrete elements, and post‑excavation tunnel completion. (Note: Experience with TBM and drill & blast is a plus for understanding the complete tunnel lifecycle, but structural concrete expertise is key). Engineer Fluency: A strong grasp of structural engineering and quality assurance processes, paired with the ability to easily read and interpret complex work scopes, technical specifications, and rebar/formwork drawings. Exceptional People Skills: Highly developed communication, negotiation, and influencing skills, with a proven ability to build strong, collaborative relationships with both internal teams and on‑site contractors. We offer: An annual performance based bonus. A range of parental leave options, including 30 weeks paid leave for primary carers and 10 weeks for non‑primary. We provide additional leave over and above the minimum National Employment Standards. Family discounts on fitness, gyms, pools and leisure centres (location dependant). A Service Award Program – employees reaching continuous employment anniversaries receive additional benefits. An employee referral plan – good employees attract similar colleagues. Corporate clothing allowance. Snowy Hydro is proud to be an Equal Opportunity employer. We are committed to the values of Equal Employment Opportunity and provide accessibility accommodations to applicants with physical and/or mental disabilities. #J-18808-Ljbffr
