About the job Site Engineer – Urban Development (Subdivision Delivery)
Site Engineer – Urban Development (Subdivision Delivery)
See the Bigger Picture—From Raw Land to Community
Most engineers build projects.
At our client, you help create communities.
From the earliest stages of land acquisition through to final delivery, every decision shapes the outcome—how the land is formed, how services are integrated, and how efficiently projects are delivered.
As a Site Engineer, you'll sit on the developer side of the equation—working closely with contractors, consultants, and internal teams to ensure subdivision projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the expected standard.
This is a role for someone who wants to step beyond pure construction—and understand the full development lifecycle.
Why This Role Matters
On the developer side, success is about more than just building.
It's about:
- Managing cost, program, and risk across the full project
- Coordinating multiple stakeholders
- Ensuring delivery aligns with broader commercial objectives
You'll play a key role in making sure projects run efficiently—and deliver the outcomes the business is targeting.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll act as the link between design, construction, and commercial outcomes.
You'll:
- Oversee civil contractors delivering subdivision works
- Monitor construction progress, quality, and compliance
- Review drawings, methodologies, and staging strategies
- Coordinate with consultants (civil, services, geotech, survey)
- Assist in managing budgets, forecasts, and cost tracking
- Identify risks early—particularly around services, ground conditions, and staging
- Support contract administration, variations, and claims assessment
- Contribute to project programming and delivery strategy
You're not just delivering the job—you're protecting the project outcome.
What Makes This Role Different
At Landy Developments, you're not tied to one contractor or one perspective.
You'll:
- See multiple projects across different stages
- Gain exposure to commercial and development decision-making
- Work closely with senior leadership on project strategy
- Develop a broader skillset beyond pure engineering
This is an ideal pathway into Development Management or Project Management roles.

- Hold a Civil Engineering degree or similar

- Are commercially aware and interested in project outcomes—not just tasks
- Communicate well across contractors, consultants, and internal teams
