UGL is seeking a Senior Project Engineer to support contamination and remediation projects in Australia. The role typically requires a degree in civil, environmental, chemical engineering, or a related discipline, along with substantial experience delivering remediation, earthworks, infrastructure, or environmental projects. Candidates should understand contaminated-site investigation and treatment, construction methodology, environmental controls, project programming, cost management, subcontractor coordination, and health and safety requirements. Strong communication, reporting, client-management, and problem-solving skills are expected. Experience with Australian environmental regulations, quality systems, risk management, and relevant engineering standards will be highly regarded. The successful candidate will provide technical leadership, coordinate project teams, manage delivery risks, and ensure work is completed safely, sustainably, on time, and within budget.

Australia offers strong opportunities for project engineers, environmental engineers, construction professionals, and remediation specialists, particularly in infrastructure, resources, transport, defence, energy, and renewable projects. Workplace culture is generally practical, safety-focused, collaborative, and relatively informal, with clear expectations around accountability and communication. Lifestyle varies widely: major cities provide diverse communities and services, while regional and remote areas can offer higher allowances, outdoor living, and roster-based work. Skilled workers may explore employer-sponsored visas, the Skilled Independent or State Nominated pathways, and regional migration options, subject to occupation lists and eligibility. Engineers usually need qualifications and experience assessed through Engineers Australia for skilled migration. Relocation planning should include registration requirements, tax, health insurance, housing costs, school arrangements, and travel distances. Australia is geographically large, so climate, salary, and project conditions differ significantly between states and territories.
