Job description

Overview

Senior Electrical Engineer: Building Services. This role is with a specialist electrical-only consultancy known for repeat work and word of mouth, with a senior team and engineers who represent the business directly with clients.

Base pay range: A$145,000.00/yr - A$173,000.00/yr.

The business (why engineers stay here)

This is a specialist electrical-only consultancy with a long-standing reputation built almost entirely on repeat work and word of mouth. No marketing machine. No chasing work. The workload is already there.

The team is deliberately kept senior and capable. Directors are deeply technical, highly respected, and heavily involved in delivery, which is why this hire matters. They want to hand projects over, not hover over you.

The culture is calm, professional, and adult:

• No timesheets
• Minimal bureaucracy
• Trust, autonomy, and accountability
• Engineers here represent the business directly with clients

The role (what you'll actually be doing)

This role is about removing pressure from the Directors. You'll be trusted to:

• Run electrical building services projects from concept through to construction and QA
• Manage consultants, coordinate designs, and own delivery end-to-end
• Be the primary point of contact for clients
• Make decisions, solve problems, and communicate confidently when things change

Projects span education, commercial, healthcare, infrastructure, aged care and community facilities, with no pigeonholing into a single sector unless you want it.

You won't be handed fragments of work. You'll be handed entire jobs.

What you'll need (the non-negotiables)

• Proven ability to run projects independently
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and consultants
• The judgement to know when to push, when to escalate, and when to just solve it

If you're the person others already rely on to “sort it out”, you'll fit.

What you'll get

• Direct access to highly experienced Directors and Fellows
• Long-term stability in a business that doesn't overhire or overpromise
• A clear path forward, whether that's technical mastery or future leadership

If your CV isn't up to date, that's fine.
