Civil Engineering Technician
Visa sponsorship
Engineering · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000 - $90,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Mzansi earthworks technicians, this one is worth your time. A civil construction and earthmoving business in Western Australia wants a Civil Engineering Technician in Perth to back its Civil Engineer on several earthworks and site-development jobs for residential, commercial and industrial clients. Permanent, full-time, Monday to Friday, 8-hour shifts.
No fancy job title games. You draw it in AutoCAD and Civil 3D, then you go out and check it: levels, soil and material tests, inspections, compaction, quality records. All of it is measured against approved designs, Australian Standards and WHS requirements.
Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa sponsorship may be available to suitably qualified applicants who meet the immigration requirements.
Make your CV do the talking. List the projects, the tests and the drawing sets, and put your White Card status near the top. Put together a Perth-ready civil engineering technician CV with Build AI CV, then apply.
