Job description

At Agilitus, we’re not your typical engineering and design consultancy, we’re a people‑first community built on collaboration, shared values, and a genuine no‑blame culture. We believe the best solutions come from working together (and having fun while we do it!).

We offer three career paths, technical, project, and people leadership, so you can grow in the direction that suits you best. Progression here is based on ability and attitude, not years of experience.

We’re also 100% employee‑owned, meaning every person has a real stake in our shared success. Our leadership development program supports emerging leaders at all levels, and our flexible structure means new opportunities are created as we grow.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a motivated professional to deliver high-quality, compliant design solutions in line with Agilitus systems and procedures. In this role, you’ll build strong relationships with colleagues and clients, contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects, and ensure work is delivered to client expectations, Australian Standards, and within budget and time constraints.

Requirements

• Diploma in electrical engineering or applicable drafting traineeship (or similar)
• Experience and ability to use AutoCAD and/or Microstation
• Attention to detail and capacity to review your own work and the work of others

You’ll be part of an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace.

• flexible work arrangements
• personalised development plans
• wellbeing support
• competitive remuneration with incentives and paid overtime
• generous primary and secondary parental leave
• paid professional memberships
• mentoring from industry‑leading technical experts
• partnership with Engineers Australia, providing a supported pathway for engineers to achieve chartered status
