Responsible for earthworks and drainage quality works and to make sure correct laboratory tests are conducted onsite according to MRWA specifications; raising and closing quality lots by meeting requirements; tracking of cost to meet required budget and to ensure appropriate permits and approvals are in place to facilitate daily works on site. Manage and ensure daily work activities are undertaken in accordance with permits, approvals, design drawings, specifications, work management plans and communicating with other teams on the project. Daily, weekly, and monthly cost report to Project Engineer and Section Manager. Assist in procuring and arranging material on site ahead of the works to avoid delays. Plan 3-week lookahead for the works to undergo on site and communicate with supervisors and ensure works are completed on time. Request setout files for the areas and do the pit build ups according to schedule for the crew to install drainage lines. Communicate with numerous different section engineers to ensure works can be programmed or organize to happen according to schedule, accommodating any critical action path.

Pros and cons of working at ACCIONA Australia and New Zealand
Pros
Lots of learning and professional development opportunities.
The managers are really helpful with anything and everything... I’ve always felt that they look out for you as you’re a grad.
I love that Acciona genuinely holds sustainability so close to its core.
There is work flexibility and a friendly and positive work culture.
Supportive team, the company cares about the growth and learning of graduates.
Cons
The nature of the construction industry means that it is hard to achieve a work/life balance.
Work Loads. Long work Hours.
It's not the most social office environment.
The commute, inability to WFH more and my inability to get out to projects.
The graduate program feels like a complete waste of time and only takes away from me being able to complete my actual work.
