Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager, Brownfield Projects

Gladstone, QLD (Brisbane-based candidates also considered)

We are seeking an Onsite Engineering Manager to act as the site-facing engineering interface on a major operating industrial facility in Central Queensland.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being on the plant, not behind a desk in a project office. You will be the trusted engineering point of contact for site stakeholders, shaping brownfield and Management of Change (MOC) work from first identification through to packaged delivery by a global engineering team.

What You Will Do

• Act as the primary onsite engineering contact for project, operations and maintenance stakeholders
• Identify, prioritise and scope brownfield, MOC and small-to-medium engineering packages
• Lead site walkdowns and capture field data, constraints and assumptions
• Translate site requirements into clear, complete engineering inputs for an offshore delivery team
• Coordinate package kick-offs, work packaging, discipline alignment and delivery planning
• Manage technical queries, review comments and issue resolution between site and the design team
• Track progress, actions, risks and decisions across multiple packages
• Build client confidence through visible ownership, responsiveness and clear communication

What You Will Bring

• An engineering background from any discipline, with genuine exposure to Structural, Mechanical and Piping (SMP) scopes
• Strong experience on brownfield, live plant or heavy industrial sites
• A working understanding of MOC-driven engineering, site constraints and operational safety
• The ability to convert site inputs into clear engineering deliverables and well-defined scopes of work
• Confidence engaging operations, maintenance, reliability and project stakeholders
• Experience coordinating with offshore or remote engineering teams will be highly regarded
• RPEQ registration, or experience working alongside RPEQ and local compliance partners, is an advantage but not essential

Why this role

You will have real ownership of the site-to-engineering interface on a live industrial facility, with the autonomy to shape how work is identified, scoped and delivered. Gladstone-based candidates are preferred; Brisbane-based candidates open to a site-focused arrangement are encouraged to apply.
