Job description

Graduate - LAB Fire Testing Engineer

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Your engineering career shouldn't start with you sitting behind a desk doing the same thing every day.

At Jensen Hughes, you'll get hands‑on experience from day one, working alongside some of the industry's leading fire testing and engineering professionals.

You’ll be exposed to real projects, real clients and real-world engineering challenges. Everything from testing how building materials and systems perform in fire, to site inspections in our LAB, risk assessments and helping develop solutions that protect people and property.

It's a chance to take what you've learned at university and see engineering in action.

What's in it for you?

• Get mentored by experienced engineers and develop specialist knowledge that you won't get from a textbook.
• Work in our fire testing laboratory and get involved in site inspections, testing and real projects.
• No two projects are exactly the same, giving you exposure to a broad range of engineering challenges.
• Work directly with clients and experienced consultants while developing your communication and problem‑solving skills.
• Develop your technical expertise and create a strong foundation for a long-term career in fire engineering and safety.

If you're curious, practical and want to use your engineering degree to solve problems that genuinely matter, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

We are looking for a Graduate to join our Fire Testing team in Dandenong, Melbourne and help us find solutions to make the world a safer place.

In this role, you will work across a huge range of different activities:

• Be mentored and gain hands‑on experience with fire testing and engineering, fire safety and risk assessment.
• Liaise with clients and our team to work through solutions.
• Participate in site and final inspections.
• Help prepare reports on our findings and assist clients in making the best decisions for safety.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Must be an Australian Citizen/Permanent Resident.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Structural, Civil or another related engineering discipline.
• A willingness to think outside the box, solve problems and collaborate with some of the industry's best.
