The Client:
Cook Shire is the largest land area shire in Queensland. From the Bloomfield River in the south to just north of the Jardine River, it covers more than 100,000km2 and occupies 80 per cent of Cape York Peninsula.
Cook Shire is a vibrant area, from the main township of Cooktown to smaller outlying communities rich in indigenous history, agriculture, tourism and arts.

The current vacancy has come about as the result of the current Manager moving into an acting role for another department, therefore we are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team for an initial period of 3 months with the likely possibility of an extension.

Benefits:

• Flights to and from Cooktown (commencement and conclusion)
• Accommodation supplied in a self contained 1 bedroom apartment
• Typical Monday to Friday hours
• No complex government application processes – we handle onboarding
• Dedicated labour hire team for ongoing support and communication
• Streamlined timesheets and payroll
• Safe, inclusive, and well-structured workplace
• Be part of projects that make a difference for Queensland communities
• Opportunities to collaborate with skilled public sector professionals

To be successful you will have the following:

• Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent); RPEQ status desirable.
• Strong background in civil infrastructure, engineering design, asset management, and capital works delivery.
• Demonstrated experience with budget development, project/program management, and grant funding.
• Knowledge of Local Government operations will be highly regarded
