ABOUT US:

At Diona, we empower Australian communities by delivering essential services that support a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life. With over 40 years of experience, we’re big enough to tackle large-scale projects, yet small enough to ensure every contribution matters.
We specialize in utility infrastructure, including cable laying, water, sewer, and gas pipelines, drainage, and concrete construction. Our teams work hands-on, seeing firsthand the real-world impact of their efforts.
Diona is a place where you can challenge yourself, grow, and build a meaningful career. Our collaborative and driven people thrive on ownership and innovation, creating countless opportunities for personal and professional development. In September 2024, Diona became part of SRG Global.

THE ROLE:

We are seeking a skilled and driven Site Engineer to play a key role in the successful delivery of major water infrastructure projects across South Australia, including pipe installation and water treatment facilities. This position will focus on applying strong engineering principles to support project execution while promoting a collaborative, high-performance environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Site Engineer, you will be responsible for the efficient coordination and management of Engineering Works, overseeing activities related to technical operations, engineering, inspections, scheduling, planning, surveying, procurement, and quality control. Reporting directly to the Project Manager, this role requires close collaboration with onsite teams to ensure projects are delivered on time and to a high standard.
This is a permanent role with Diona/SRG Global. Following the completion of this project, there will be opportunities to transition into other ongoing and upcoming projects. The successful candidate will not only be part of an outstanding team but will also gain continuous project exposure, fostering the development of technical expertise and project management skills.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Overseeing construction activities, ensuring compliance with design and SA Water standards and specifications.
• Procurement and coordination of materials, plant, and equipment, including raising purchase requisitions and ensuring materials delivered to site are correct, in good condition, and in a timely manner so as to not cause delays to the construction program.
• Performing site inspections and observations with respect to health, safety and environmental KPIs.
• Assisting project engineers with the development of site documentation, including ITPs, SWMSs, JSEAs and Construction Execution Procedures.
• Undertaking quality control inspections and ITP Witness and Hold Point inspections.
