Job summary

CBRE GWS Local in Melbourne (Tullamarine) is seeking a skilled engineering professional to lead a trade team across Tullamarine and Woodend, acting as the contract's engineering authority.

You will drive safety, compliance and efficiency in GMP-regulated environments, manage subcontractors, plan major works and ensure audit-ready documentation while providing clear career progression within CBRE.

Qualifications

• Multidisciplinary engineering breadth across mechanical, electrical, fire, water and utilities.
• Working knowledge of GMP-regulated environments and the evidentiary standard required for audit, validation and regulator scrutiny.
• Ability to operate under the dual Comcare and Victorian OHS jurisdiction and reconcile them into one practical compliance position.
• Root cause diagnostic capability.

Responsibilities

• Lead trade staff, finalise and approve schedules, assign PPMs, and lead daily pre-start meetings that set priorities, risks and expectations for the shift.
• Verify licences, training, permits and isolations are in place before work begins, rather than relying on after-the-fact checks.
• Apply multidisciplinary engineering judgement across mechanical, electrical, fire, water and utilities systems, so faults and risks are understood in terms of how they interact between trades.
• Own the compliance register, interpret applicable standards, and reconcile the dual Comcare and Victorian OHS jurisdiction into one practical compliance outcome.
• Ensure recurring or significant faults are resolved at root cause rather than repeatedly patched.
• Technically test repair quotes, scopes and maintenance frequencies before approval, so CSL pays for the right fix at the right price.
• Own specialist subcontractor relationships, inspect and supervise their work, and scrutinise programmes, reports, certifications and SWMS.
• Plan major works including shutdowns, define the CBRE and CSL plant boundary, and lead the asset reliability programme.
• Maintain evidence and documentation to a standard that would withstand audit, validation or regulator scrutiny in the GMP-regulated environment.
