Alder Group is proudly celebrating 22 years in 2025 - we bring engineering and construction teams together under one roof, to deliver building, civil and infrastructure projects.

We have a rare opportunity available for a Project Manager (Civil and Infrastructure team) to join our growing and dynamic team. The successful candidate will be working on projects predominately across South East QLD and Northern NSW.

Depending on the candidates location, they could choose to be based from either of our offices in Helensvale, Ballina or Brisbane. Ideally however, the candidate will spend time mostly operating from either Helensvale or Ballina.

The Civil and Infrastructure team work on a diverse range of projects of values ranging from $3m to $30m. The successful candidate will assist with the identification and growth of our Civil and Infrastructure team in Queensland and Northern NSW.
