Mechanical Design Engineer – Industrial Machinery
An established Brisbane engineering consultancy is seeking a hands‐on Mechanical Design Engineer to work across industrial machinery, materials handling and fabricated equipment.
This prospect will suit a mechanically minded engineer who enjoys solving practical problems from first principles, not someone focused primarily on project management, maintenance or producing CAD models without understanding the engineering behind them.
You will work across varied industries and technologies, designing real equipment that is manufactured, installed and put to work.
Working as part of an experienced engineering team, you will take design work from problem definition through to practical, buildable solutions.
Your work will include:
Designing industrial machinery, materials-handling equipment and fabricated systems
Developing 3D models and workshop-ready drawings using Autodesk Inventor
Completing calculations to support and verify your designs
Assessing structural loads and using FEA where appropriate
Designing around motors, actuators, chains, sprockets, frames and mechanical movement
Applying relevant Australian Standards and design codes
Considering fabrication, installation, maintenance and safety throughout the design
You will ideally bring:
A Mechanical Engineering qualification
Direct design experience involving machinery, materials handling, mechanical equipment or fabricated systems




Strong mechanical fundamentals and the ability to work through practical calculations
Professional 3D CAD experience, preferably with Autodesk Inventor
Experience producing detailed drawings for fabrication or manufacture
Attention to detail and a willingness to check your own work
A focused, self-managing work style
A genuine interest in remaining technically hands‐on
This is a mechanical machinery‐design position.
Applicants whose experience is primarily in building services, HVAC, maintenance, reliability, drafting, construction coordination or project management are unlikely to be suitable unless they can also demonstrate substantial hands‐on equipment design experience.
This consultancy actively invests in the development of its engineers through:
Continuing professional development and training
Mentoring from experienced engineers
Support toward achieving RPEQ
Exposure to challenging machine and structural design
Further development in CAD, FEA, structural load assessment and code compliance
Opportunities to participate in and lead design projects
Work across a broad range of industries and technologies
Competitive remuneration, flexible hours and hybrid working opportunities
Optional additional hours and paid overtime
All enquiries will be handled discreetly.
Further details about the consultancy, team and role will be shared with suitable candidates during an initial conversation.
