Livingstone Shire Council | Major Projects | Level 7 ($155,199 TRP) | Permanent Full Time
Public Sector People are partnering with Livingstone Shire Council to appoint two Infrastructure Project Engineers / Project Managers to join a high-performing Major Projects team delivering a significant and growing capital works program.
This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of end-to-end infrastructure delivery, working across a diverse portfolio of projects valued between $50M–$60M annually.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Manager Major Projects, you will lead infrastructure projects from initial concept and planning through to construction and handover, ensuring delivery to scope, budget and programme.
You will play a key role in delivering a wide range of infrastructure projects, including:
- Landfill cell construction (~$9M)
- Water and wastewater infrastructure and treatment upgrades
- Road and transport projects ($25M)
- Industrial subdivision and depot developments (~$22M)
- Coastal and foreshore protection works
- Community and public infrastructure projects
This is a hands-on, full lifecycle role, where you will be involved from early-stage planning and stakeholder engagement through to procurement, contract administration and delivery.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Manage consultants, contractors and project stakeholders
- Provide technical advice and reporting to senior leadership and Council
- Support forward works programming and long-term capital planning
- Ensure governance, safety and compliance across all project phases
- Work collaboratively across teams to deliver projects with no surprises
You will be working within a collaborative, team-driven environment, supported by governance groups, consultants and internal stakeholders — not operating in isolation.
