Join an industry leading contractor and help deliver complex mechanical piping and fire protection projects across some of Australia’s most significant construction projects.

About Us

Endfire Engineering is a proudly Australian-owned specialist fire protection contractor delivering complex projects across infrastructure, defence, healthcare, corrections, petrochemical, commercial, industrial and transport sectors throughout Australia and New Zealand.

As our Sydney operations continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Project Engineer to join our team and support the successful delivery of major projects across New South Wales.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Project Engineer to join our Projects Team in Sydney.

Working closely with Project Managers, engineers, technicians, site teams, subcontractors, suppliers and clients, you will help manage and coordinate the technical and engineering requirements of our projects.

The role will support project planning, procurement, technical coordination, cost control, contract compliance and project documentation to help ensure work is delivered on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience working with mechanical piping systems within petrochemical, processing, oil and gas, industrial or similarly complex project environments.

• Review drawings, specifications, contracts and technical documentation
• Coordinate engineering deliverables, procurement, materials and equipment requirements
