Brisbane’s specialist civil and infrastructure recruiter

IEPro is a boutique recruitment agency built specifically for Brisbane’s civil construction industry. We place white collar professionals including engineers, project managers, supervisors, planners, estimators, contract administrators and HSE advisors into the contractors and consultancies delivering Queensland’s biggest infrastructure projects.

We’re not a generalist agency that happens to do construction. Civil and infrastructure is all we do. Our consultants come from the industry itself, which means when a Queensland contractor calls us about a senior project engineer for a major roadworks package, we know exactly what that role looks like, who’s likely to be a fit, and how to move quickly enough to secure them.

Why Queensland contractors work with IEPro

Queensland’s civil pipeline is moving fast. Between the Bruce Highway Upgrade Program, the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games infrastructure, the Borumba Pumped Hydro project and an ongoing program of road, bridge, rail and water works across the state, the demand for experienced white collar civil professionals has rarely been stronger.

That competition for talent is exactly why a specialist recruiter matters. The candidates you want are usually already employed and rarely respond to job ads. Securing them takes industry networks, credibility and the ability to have a real conversation about the project, the team and the technical challenges involved.

That’s where we add value:

We know the Queensland market. We’re embedded in Brisbane and have strong connections through regional Queensland — the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns. We understand the difference between a residential project engineer and someone who can run a live-traffic highway upgrade, and we recruit accordingly.

We move at project pace. Civil projects don’t wait. When a contract is awarded, the resourcing clock starts. Our consultants work to the timelines that contractors actually operate on, not 30-day search cycles.

We’re boutique by design. You deal directly with senior consultants who understand your business. No handing off, no junior researchers, no volume-driven approach. Every shortlist is built deliberately.

Roles we recruit across Brisbane and Queensland

Our focus is white collar civil construction. The roles we place most often include:

  • Project Engineers and Senior Project Engineers

The projects driving demand in Queensland

Brisbane and the wider Queensland market are entering one of the most active infrastructure cycles in a decade. Projects driving recruitment demand include:

  • The $9 billion-plus Bruce Highway Upgrade Program, including the recently awarded $1.9 billion Bruce Highway works package
  • Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic infrastructure, including transport, venue and precinct works
  • Borumba Pumped Hydro Project, with works packages already being awarded
  • Coomera Connector and ongoing South East Queensland road network upgrades
  • Cross River Rail and associated transport infrastructure
  • Major water infrastructure projects including the Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline
  • Ongoing Department of Transport and Main Roads programs across regional Queensland

For contractors winning work on these programs, the challenge isn’t whether the work is there. It’s securing the right people fast enough to deliver it.
