My role is as a Project Engineer with BMD.  In my six years at BMD, I’ve been involved in the successful delivery of a number of multi-million dollar construction projects across urban development, road infrastructure, bridge construction and pipe works, for both private and public clients. 

At school, I had no idea I wanted to be a Project Engineer, enter the Construction Industry or even study Civil Engineering at Uni.  It wasn’t until I followed my love for maths in school, which led me to where I am today – it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.    

I am very passionate about breaking down barriers and empowering more women into the industry.  Empowered women, empower women!

A Project Engineer reports into a Senior Project Manager. This role oversees all aspects of project delivery including:

• identifying potential design clashes or issues, and implementing solutions 
• managing subcontractors including procuring quotes, negotiating packages and scheduling works

• managing program and financial targets 
• quality assurance management and coordinating inspections and testing 
• stakeholder and traffic management -  liaising with clients and the local community
• ensuring safety and environmental compliance including all required documentation satisfies the company, client and legislative requirements.

As a civil engineer each day you’re adapting to the new challenges on hand and working with your team to deliver a project safely, on time and to a budget. 

Truly no day is ever the same!
