About Us
We are a well-established, multi-disciplinary building services engineering consultancy with a strong reputation across the commercial, healthcare, education, retail, residential and industrial sectors. Our team delivers integrated, high-quality design and documentation across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire and sustainability disciplines, working on projects ranging from boutique fitouts to major developments worth tens of millions of dollars.

With a collaborative, client-focused culture and a track record of long-term client relationships, we pride ourselves on practical, cost-effective engineering solutions and a genuine investment in the growth of our people.

The Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to take on a Project Lead role within our Electrical Services team. This is a senior, client-facing position suited to an engineer who is confident running projects end-to-end and mentoring junior staff along the way.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the design and documentation of electrical building services across a diverse portfolio of projects
  • Take ownership of projects from concept through to construction and commissioning
  • Manage client relationships and act as the primary point of contact on your projects
  • Coordinate with architects, other engineering disciplines and consultants to deliver well-integrated design solutions
  • Review and mentor junior and intermediate engineers within the team
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant codes, standards and the National Construction Code (NCC)
  • Contribute to fee proposals, project programming and resourcing
About You
  • Tertiary qualification in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
  • Proven building services experience is essential — this is not a role for candidates from an industrial, utility, or non-building background
  • Demonstrated experience leading electrical building services projects, ideally within a consulting environment
  • Registered/Chartered status (or eligibility), e.g. CPEng, RBP, or equivalent, highly regarded
  • Strong technical knowledge across electrical distribution, lighting, ELV/communications and standby power systems
  • Excellent communication and client management skills
  • Ability to lead, mentor and support junior engineering staff
  • Proficiency with relevant design software (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD)
What's on Offer
  • Salary range $140,000 – $180,000 (commensurate with experience)
  • Hybrid working arrangement based in the Melbourne CBD office
  • A genuine project leadership role with autonomy and client exposure
  • Involvement in a diverse and interesting project pipeline
  • Supportive, collegiate team culture with a focus on professional development
  • Long-term career progression within a growing consultancy
