About the project - Upper South Creek Network Project

Be part of a large-scale, long-term joint venture between Seymour Whyte and Jacobs, awarded by Sydney Water as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) project.

The project also emphasises safety, digital engineering, and compliance with the latest standards, ensuring it meets future needs effectively.

As our dedicated Talent Acquisition Specialist for Upper South Creek, you’ll work closely with hiring managers to understand their needs, source top talent, and help build strong talent pools for future project demands.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing end-to-end candidate experiences: applications, interviews, feedback and offers.
• Working with hiring managers to understand role requirements, selection criteria and workforce needs.
• Implementing sourcing strategies that build high-quality talent pipelines.
• Writing job ads and supporting promotional content.
• Sourcing talent through Seek, LinkedIn and other professional networks.
• Reviewing CVs, cover letters, portfolios and assessing suitability.
• Ensuring compliance with Fair Work, anti-discrimination and best-practice recruitment.
• Coordinating interviews and ensuring panels are equipped with the right tools and information.
• Attending interviews as required.

What you’ll bring

• Internal recruitment or talent acquisition experience.
• Strong knowledge of the recruitment and talent sourcing landscape.
• End-to-end recruitment experience, ideally within civil engineering or construction.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills including candidate care and management.
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
• Experience with PageUp or similar recruitment systems.
• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, especially in a high-volume environment.
