Join a project that will play a significant role in Australia's energy transition, working alongside industry-leading professionals to deliver complex civil, electrical and energy infrastructure.

Who we are

We're Symal, a proudly different group of companies with a story of significant growth, pushing what's possible as one of Australia's largest self-performing contractors.

We innovate with intent, problem solving and delivering the best outcomes to our partners, communities and each other. That's what has made Symal a success and will continue to into the future.

It's not what we do that defines us, it's how we do it, building better together.

The role

Symal Group has entered a Joint Venture partnership with the intent to deliver a major utility-scale Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Victoria.

We're seeking an experienced Document Controller, with a proven track record on renewable energy or major infrastructure projects, to play a key role in the successful delivery of this nationally significant project.

Reporting to the Project Services team, you'll manage the project's document control system, supporting engineering, construction and commercial teams and engaging with subcontractors, OEMs and key stakeholders.

You'll be responsible for the accurate control, distribution and traceability of all project documentation both upstream and downstream, playing a key role in supporting the operational success of the project.

This is a unique opportunity to work on a project of major significance, helping shape delivery strategies and contributing to one of Australia's largest renewable energy developments.

Your everyday

  • Manage the project's document control system in Procore (or similar platforms such as Aconex or ProjectWise) across solar, BESS, civil, electrical and high-voltage infrastructure works.
  • Control and distribute drawings, specifications, RFIs, transmittals and other project documentation, maintaining version control and audit trails.
  • Maintain document registers and ensure all documentation is accurately coded, filed and readily retrievable.
  • Track document review and approval workflows, following up outstanding actions with engineering, construction and subcontractor teams.
  • Support project close-out by compiling and handing over accurate as-built documentation and O&M manuals upstream to the client and downstream from subcontractors.

Who are you?

  • Demonstrated document control experience on utility-scale renewables projects is held in high regard. Wider infrastructure experience may also be considered.
  • Proficiency with Procore is essential, with experience in other project management platforms such as Procore, Aconex, ProjectWise or SharePoint also held in high regard.
  • Strong understanding of project documentation, drawing/revision control and document numbering conventions.
  • High level of accuracy and consistency when handling large volumes of technical and commercial documentation.
  • Excellent organisational skills, with strong attention to detail and communication skills
