Senior Project Engineer

About the Role

Most Project Engineer roles focus on getting projects finished. This role exists to make sure they're worth finishing.

At JBS Dinmore, you'll be delivering engineering projects across one of Australia's largest and most complex industrial operations. From major equipment upgrades and critical infrastructure improvements to automation, utilities, refrigeration and production assets, your work will directly influence safety, reliability, productivity and long-term asset performance.

You won't inherit a narrow portfolio of small projects and spend your days chasing purchase orders. You will:

• Lead the delivery of capital and engineering improvement projects across a major manufacturing operation
• Influence how millions of dollars are invested in plant and infrastructure
• Work directly with maintenance, reliability, operations, safety and senior leadership teams
• Own project delivery from concept through commissioning and handover
• Drive engineering standards, contractor performance and project governance
• Ensure new assets enter service with complete SAP PM structures, maintenance strategies and documentation
• Help build what good project delivery looks like across the Northern Division engineering network

The best candidates won't see themselves as project coordinators. They'll see themselves as engineers who leave every asset, every system and every site better than they found it.

Who We’re Looking For

We're interested in engineers who have successfully delivered projects in demanding industrial environments and understand that real project success is measured after handover, not at practical completion.

• Strong commercial, communication and stakeholder management skills
• Food processing or FMCG project experience

• HAZOP, CHAZOP or Management of Change experience
• Knowledge of AS 4024, AS 1170 and AS/NZS 3000
