Civil Field Engineer

About the Role

JDS Energy & Mining is seeking an experienced Civil Field Engineer with a strong focus on concrete construction and quality assurance to support safe, accurate, and efficient field execution across mining and energy projects. This role provides field engineering and QA support for concrete‑intensive scopes, including batch plant operations, piling works, and structural concrete installation.

The Civil Field Engineer is directly involved in concrete pre‑planning, pour readiness, field verification, and documentation, ensuring all concrete work is completed in accordance with project specifications, schedules, and safety standards. Working closely with engineering, construction, quality, and contractor teams, this role supports the translation of concrete design intent, details, and sequencing into effective field execution.

This position plays a key role in daily concrete construction support, quality inspections, documentation control, and verification of concrete, contributing to successful turnover and handover of concrete structures and foundations.

This is a site‑based, fly‑in/fly‑out (FIFO) position working a 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off (2x2) rotation.
