About the project

At Laing O’Rourke, you won’t just build projects, you’ll help shape the future. As a $6 billion privately owned global engineering and manufacturing-led construction leader, we deliver some of the nation’s most complex infrastructure, from transport networks to defence and utilities.

Help deliver a major rail project that will transform connectivity on the Sunshine Coast.

The Beerwah Coast Connect Alliance, comprising Laing O’Rourke, Hatch and Georgiou, along with the Department of Transport and Main Roads and Queensland Rail, will deliver the Stage 1 Brownfield Package of The Wave. The scope includes a new Beerwah station and public precinct, rail upgrades, a stabling yard and a viaduct over Steve Irwin Way, supporting improved passenger and freight services along the North Coastline.

We’re looking for a Project Engineer with rail signalling experience to join the team. You’ll play a key role in coordinating signalling works across design, construction and delivery, working with subcontractors and project stakeholders to safely deliver this complex brownfield rail package.
