  • About You

    You have a solid technical foundation and the confidence to apply it practically.

  • Degree or Diploma in science, engineering, construction, or project management
  • Construction monitoring in civil construction and / or earthworks (minimum 2 years)

  • Our Culture

    At Initia, our “why” is simple : to make people successful – our clients, our project partners, and our team. We are a high-trust, non-corporate business where hierarchy is flat, learning is constant, and people are empowered to make good decisions and ask for help when needed. Mentoring, collaboration, and shared experiences, both in the office and socially, are at the heart of how we build capability and deliver value.

    Benefits and Perks
