Build The Kind Of Engineering Career Most Firms Promise But Rarely Deliver

This opportunity sits within a growing multidisciplinary engineering consultancy delivering structural and mechanical projects across industrial, mining and regional sectors.

The team is looking to appoint one experienced engineer from either a structural or mechanical background to help lead projects, mentor junior staff and strengthen the leadership team.

The work is varied and fast-moving.

People who succeed here are technically strong, commercially aware and practical in their approach. They communicate well, take initiative and enjoy working in a collaborative environment where everyone contributes.

Just as importantly, this is a close-knit team of practical people who work hard, enjoy a laugh together and take genuine pride in what they deliver. The culture is supportive, down-to-earth and refreshingly free of unnecessary corporate ego.

One Opportunity. Two Engineering Pathways.

This role will suit either a Senior Mechanical or Structural Engineer ready to step into a broader leadership position within a growing multidisciplinary consultancy.

Working closely with the Directors, you will help lead projects, mentor junior staff and support the next stage of business growth.

More specifically, you will be responsible for:

  • Leading engineering projects from concept through to delivery
  • Mentoring junior engineers and drafting staff
  • Managing client relationships, budgets and delivery priorities
  • Reviewing technical drawings, documentation and engineering outputs
  • Supporting project delivery and team performance
  • Building strong relationships across industrial and regional client groups
  • Contributing to a practical, collaborative and high-performing culture

Technical Capability Matters. But So Does Initiative.

To qualify, you will need a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline, alongside at least 5 years’ experience within consulting, project delivery or industrial engineering environments.

RPEQ registration, or the ability to obtain registration, will be highly regarded.

You will also bring:

  • Strong technical capability within mechanical or structural engineering
  • The ability to work autonomously and manage competing priorities
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers or technical staff
  • Commercial awareness and strong project delivery understanding
  • Confidence communicating with both technical and practical stakeholders
  • Experience across industrial, mining, fabrication or multidisciplinary environments

Most importantly, you will be practical, proactive and capable of working with autonomy.

This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership and wants to play a meaningful role within a growing engineering team.

About The Benefits

Compensation based on skills and experience includes a competitive salary package up to $200,000 plus superannuation for the right candidate, alongside benefits including:

  • Relocation assistance discussions available for the right candidate
  • Genuine long-term leadership growth opportunities
  • Exposure to diverse engineering projects across multiple industries
  • Direct collaboration with experienced business leaders and decision-makers
  • Supportive, practical and highly collaborative team environment
  • Strong work-life balance and flexibility
  • Team lunches, social connection and a family-oriented culture
  • Opportunity to play a meaningful role in mentoring and developing junior engineers

If you are looking for a senior engineering opportunity where your technical capability, leadership potential and initiative will genuinely be valued, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
