Job description

Own the electrical design, from concept to construction.

If you’re an experienced building services electrical engineer who wants to see your designs built, and have a real say in how they’re delivered, this is a great opportunity. You’ll join a leading national contractor as their Lead Electrical Design Engineer in Brisbane, working across a strong pipeline of projects in sectors including commercial, health, education and data centres.

The opportunity

Working on the contracting side means you’re closer to the build. You’ll own the electrical design on major projects, work alongside the construction and delivery teams, and see the impact of your decisions on site. It’s a great fit for a consulting engineer who wants more ownership and less distance between design and delivery.

What you’ll do

• Own the electrical design on major building services projects, from concept through to construction
• Review designs and documentation for quality, buildability and compliance
• Work closely with project managers, site teams and clients to solve design issues as they come up
• Value-engineer designs so they’re practical, cost-effective and buildable

About you

• Degree in Electrical Engineering
• RPEQ, or eligible to register (CPEng desirable)
• 8+ years of building services electrical design experience
• Experience in a consulting or design-and-construct environment
• A practical approach and good understanding of how designs get built
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with clients and site teams

Why this role

• Own the design rather than just deliver it
• See your designs through to construction
• A respected national business with great team tenure, a reflection of the working conditions, projects and culture
• A friendly, down-to-earth team that enjoys working together and likes to have fun
• A southside office with easy access to the M1 and onsite parking, so no CBD commute.
