Job description

Looking to step up and manage more of your own work?
Design background and looking for progression into a Senior / Project Engineer role?

Why this job?

• A consultancy like no other. This is more than A JOB, it's a career with a progression path. The role exists because the previous person they hired is now managing projects independently. This role will get you there too.
• This group value technology. They walk the talk.
• It's colaborative. You'll be part of a holistic team, developing the hydraulics design compontent on medium, large and very large scale buildings projects.

About the company

You'll join a boutique business, hungry for the future. If you're someone who values innovation and technology, you'll love working here.

You'll be mostly office based at a cool spot in Southbank. There's flexibility to work from home sometimes but it's probably not going to be regular days every week as this job isn't 'regular'. Consider yourself office-based.

This is a new role - this is a busy team - there's projects to deliver.

Day to day

Problem solve in the hydraulics remit. Local codes and standards knowledge is critical (Australian fine) and an ability to get on with people from all walks of life. Take a project end to end, from feasibility to construction. Design it, own it.

We'd love a civil engineering background as there's opportunity here to switch into 'civil mode' and work across civil engineering elements for built form projects (on site civils).

You will collaborate closely with others in the design team, to ensure seamless integration all components within the overall project.

Take home between$90k - $125k p/a plus Super.

• Preparation of construction level hydraulic services documentation
• Strategic design work and design review of others
• Working closely with the design and project team to meet program and requirements and achieve integrated outcomes
• Project Management to ensure timely and safe delivery
• Engagement with clients and all stakeholders

About you

• Proficient in working in the design and construction space, ideally with Revit experience
