Job description

About Morson Edge

Morson Edge specialises in recruitment across the engineering and building services sectors, connecting talented engineers with leading consultancies across Australia.

About the Company

We’re working with a leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy involved in some of Australia’s most significant and technically challenging projects. The Sydney team works across data centres, airports, stadiums, metro stations and defence projects, offering engineers the opportunity to develop their technical expertise across a broad range of sectors. The team has a strong focus on technical excellence, making this an excellent environment for engineers who enjoy design and want to continue developing their capabilities.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer who enjoys being hands-on with engineering design and delivering technically challenging projects. This opportunity would suit an experienced Intermediate Engineer ready to take on more responsibility, or an established Senior Engineer who wants to remain technically focused rather than move into management.

Responsibilities

• Electrical building services design across major multidisciplinary projects.
• Developing designs, calculations, specifications and technical documentation.
• Working closely with mechanical, structural and other engineering disciplines.
• Coordinating electrical designs and resolving technical challenges.
• Supporting projects through design development and delivery.
• Working alongside experienced engineers on complex, high-profile projects.

Skills & Experience

• A background in electrical building services design within an engineering consultancy.
• Experience working on larger, technically complex projects, ideally within a Tier 1 or major multidisciplinary consultancy.
• Strong hands-on electrical design capability and sound technical knowledge.
• Experience coordinating with other engineering disciplines.
• The ability to take ownership of design tasks and deliver work with a good level of independence.
• An electrical engineering qualification.
• Data centre experience would be highly regarded but isn’t essential.
• Engineers from other complex sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, transport or defence, are encouraged to apply.

Requirements

Applicants must hold Australian permanent residency, citizenship or unrestricted working rights without requiring sponsorship, due to project requirements.

Culture

This is a technically focused engineering team that values people who enjoy solving problems, producing quality designs and developing their engineering expertise. It’s particularly well suited to someone who wants to remain involved in the technical side of engineering rather than move immediately towards an Associate or management-focused position.

Benefits to You

• $120,000–$155,000 + super, depending on experience and benchmarked against internal technical capability.
• Excellent flexible and hybrid working arrangements, with no fixed number of office days.
• Exposure to major data centre, defence, aviation, stadium and transport projects.
• Opportunity to gain data centre experience without needing an existing background in the sector.
• Work alongside experienced engineers in a technically strong multidisciplinary team.
• Clear opportunities to develop your technical capabilities while remaining hands-on with design.
