Job description

Mechanical Engineer / Intermediate – Associate - Building Services

I am representing an established multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with a strong reputation across the Australian built environment.

Working closely with architects, clients and other design professionals, the business delivers projects across a diverse range of building sectors.

Its mechanical engineering team is involved throughout the project lifecycle, from early design development through to construction and completion. Engineers have the opportunity to influence building performance, occupant comfort, energy efficiency and the integration of building services.

The business values technical quality, strong professional relationships and developing its people, offering an environment where engineers can take ownership, contribute to project decisions and build their careers alongside experienced professionals.

The Opportunity:

An opportunity exists for a Mechanical Engineer to join the Sydney team, with flexibility around the level of appointment depending on experience and capability.

Whether you are an Intermediate Engineer looking to step up, a Senior Engineer seeking greater project responsibility, or an Associate looking to further develop your client relationships and technical leadership, there is scope to shape the position around your experience.

This is more than a design production role. You will have the opportunity to influence engineering outcomes, oversee mechanical services delivery and contribute to project direction, with scope to take on greater technical, project management and leadership responsibilities.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Undertaking and overseeing mechanical building services design across a diverse range of building projects.
• Developing HVAC, air-conditioning and ventilation solutions from concept through to detailed design and documentation.
• Managing mechanical design deliverables, specifications, technical documentation and engineering calculations.
• Using Autodesk Revit MEP and AutoCAD to develop, coordinate and review mechanical services designs.
• Applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to support engineering design and building performance.
• Working closely with architects, clients and other engineering disciplines to resolve design interfaces and coordination challenges.
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant Australian regulatory requirements, codes and standards.
• Taking responsibility for project delivery, client meetings and engineering advice.
• Reviewing designs, mentoring less experienced engineers and contributing to client relationships and team development.

What We Are Looking For:

• Approximately 5+ years' experience within a building services consulting engineering environment, with more experienced candidates encouraged to apply.
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical building services design, particularly HVAC and ventilation systems.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit, specifically Revit MEP, together with solid AutoCAD skills.
• Experience working with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and its application to mechanical engineering design and analysis.
• A sound working knowledge of the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated knowledge of the NSW Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020.
• A strong understanding of relevant Australian Standards, particularly:
• AS 1668 Series – Ventilation and air conditioning in buildings.
• AS 3666 Series – Air-handling and water systems – Microbial control.
• AS 1100 Series – Technical drawing.
• AS/NZS 3000 – Electrical installations, particularly in relation to building services coordination.
• A sound understanding of multidisciplinary building services coordination.
• Strong communication skills, technical judgement and the ability to manage projects independently and collaboratively.
• Experience leading design packages, managing projects, mentoring engineers or contributing to client development will be particularly advantageous for Senior and Associate-level candidates.

What's on Offer:

$130,000 – $160,000 + Super, depending on experience and capability.

• An opportunity to join an established multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with a strong industry reputation.
• Exposure to diverse building projects and technically engaging engineering challenges.
• Greater involvement in project decisions, client relationships and mechanical services delivery.
• A supportive team environment with opportunities to develop into greater technical, project management and leadership responsibilities.
