Projects Down Under

Kiewit Australia is pursuing large-project opportunities in Western Australia. Australia is a large exporter of natural resources to China and India, and so we are focusing primarily in the natural resources and mining industries, as well as on power projects. Employees relocating to Australia will find unique work challenges and cultural experiences to further their careers and be part of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Kiewit Australia is looking for highly qualified craft/trades people and frontline supervisors who share our vision of expanding Kiewit into a true international contractor.

Headquartered in Perth, the capital and largest city in Western Australia, Kiewit Australia is seeking work north of Perth in the Pilbara area, near the Gibson Desert. Similar to the projects we have built in Canada, the projects in Australia are in remote locations and, in most cases, project personnel live in camps. Camps are modern with the following amenities:

• Private rooms and baths
• Excellent meals
• Recreation facilities
• And much more

Project personnel rotate back to Perth on a 28-day schedule for rest and relaxation and receive two trips home per year.
