The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled and experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our team in Sydney, to work on the design of some of the most exciting mechanical design projects in Australia and overseas.

Working across a variety of sectors such as Electrification, Adaptive Reuse, Critical Systems, Life Sciences, Aviation and Hospitality , you will lead a team of expert engineers and BIM technicians and work closely with colleagues of various disciplines to manage the delivery of technically excellent, profitable projects.

You will have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop and will be supported towards obtaining Chartership.

The Skills

Educated to degree level in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering (MEng or BEng or equivalent) and having gained experience in a senior mechanical engineering role within a building services context (Ventilation, cooling and air conditioning, heating systems etc), you are already well versed in relevant design software including Camel / IES / REVIT / Navisworks.

You have experience in detailed coordination with other design disciplines, have a proven ability in both overseeing and producing creative design solutions, as well as preparing specifications and CDM documentation and project reports, and crucially – you have a passion for creative and intuitive design. Of particular importance is your exposure to existing buildings and coordinating complex mechanical systems around a live facility.

Given the collaborative and client-focussed nature of this role, excellent communication skills and experience of using your initiative to overcome challenges are essential.

We provide a diverse and inclusive work environment and offer many benefits to ensure your professional development while maintaining a healthy work-life balance such as flexible start and finish times, working from home, diverse and exciting engineering projects, paid parental leave, paid purchase leave, professional memberships, birthday day off, amongst others.

We know that to be the best at what we do we need a diverse workforce underpinned by an inclusive culture. Creating environments where everyone can find joy doing their best work is also great for everyone. That’s why we positively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities, and encourage, support, and celebrate the diverse voices of our people.
