Job description

The role

My longest standing client is hiring for a Hydraulic Modelling Lead; their fifth hire into the modelling team, and their first at this level.

You’ll be walking into a tight-knit group that has built something impressive; a specialist hydraulic services team doing large, complex work for tier one and two clients. Think hospitals across Australia, high-profile multi-disciplinary builds, work with state government, commercial towers.

  • As Coordinator, or Hydraulics Lead, you'll take ownership of the hydraulic services, BIM workflow, processes, documentation.
  • You’ll be fully utilised, leading REVIT modelling and documentation to construction level.
  • You’ll manage clash detection and coordination with other disciplines using NAVISWORKS.
  • You’ll run coordination sessions and drive clash resolution.
  • You’ll work closely with the design team and project leads to meet program and to achieve an integrated outcome
The company

Small by choice. They’re a hydraulic services consultancy that has decided quality of work and quality of relationships matter more than headcount. The studio culture is real; respectful, focused, with little ego.

Their client list is high profile and their repeat business rate is the kind of thing other firms notice.

Office-based work; the team is in together and that’s a deliberate decision, not a default.

You
  • You have5-15+ years in 3D modelling with a hydraulics (MEP) focus.
  • High-level REVIT and NAVISWORKS capability;
  • REVISTO experience helpful.
  • You’ve been in coordination roles before
  • You communicate clearly and you don’t need to be managed.
  • Beyond the technical: you’re someone who respects the people around you and expects the same in return. That matters here.
What’s in it for you?

A senior role in a team that values what you bring. Work that makes your brain tick without living in a tier one, corporate entity.

Competitive salary commensurate with experience. And the rare opportunity to shape how a growing specialist team operates at its best.

Salary looks like: $120k - $160k p/a plus Super

  • Project variety and strong pipeline of work.
