WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY?

This is more than a Graduate Engineering role. It is an opportunity to launch your career with a global leader in automated material handling solutions, build a strong technical foundation and contribute to the design and delivery of complex automation projects.

Based in Belrose, NSW, Notting Hill, VIC or Acacia Ridge, QLD, you will work alongside experienced Engineers and collaborate with Controls, Structural, Manufacturing and site‑based teams, giving you broad exposure to how large‑scale engineering projects come together.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Apply your engineering degree to real‑world automation and intralogistics projects

• Develop practical capability in mechanical design, CAD, drawings, calculations and Bills of Materials

• Gain exposure to the full engineering project lifecycle

• Learn from experienced engineers through ongoing guidance and mentoring

• Work across multiple engineering disciplines and project teams

• Build experience supporting manufacturing, installation and commissioning activities, including site exposure where required

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE

If you are curious about how things work, enjoy solving technical problems and want to see your designs become real‑world systems, this is a great place to start your mechanical engineering career.

You will be part of a collaborative engineering environment where you can learn by doing. One day you might be developing or updating a mechanical drawing, the next participating in a design review, solving a technical problem with another engineering discipline or supporting teams bringing equipment to life on site.

You will progressively build your knowledge of engineering standards, design practices, safety, maintainability, manufacturing and project delivery, while being supported by experienced engineers.

WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON

Working under the guidance of Lead Engineers, you will:

• Support mechanical design at system, module and product level

• Prepare and update system layouts, installation drawings, product drawings and fabrication drawings
