Does This Sound Familiar....?
You're a year or two into your career as an Electrical Engineer and something feels off. Maybe you're in a large firm where the work has been siloed - you're doing the same slice of the same type of project, week after week, and the broad design experience you need to become a genuinely great engineer isn't coming.
Or maybe you're in a smaller outfit where there simply aren't enough senior engineers around you to learn from - you're figuring things out largely on your own.
Either way, you know the foundation you build right now will define the engineer you become. And you're starting to wonder if where you are is the right place to build it.

The Role
Since 1995, our client has been delivering complex building services projects across Australia - and their QLD team is growing. They're looking for an Electrical Engineer (Building Services) with 1-3 years' experience to join them in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.
You'll work across a varied project portfolio - commercial, healthcare, education, mixed-use and more - getting the kind of rounded design exposure that shapes technically strong engineers. No mailboxes roles. No endless repetition of one project type. Real design work, from the start.
What Makes This Different
- Structured mentorship that actually accelerates you - you'll work alongside experienced engineers who have seen and solved the problems you're about to face, and who are genuinely invested in passing that knowledge on
- Broad project exposure from day one - healthcare, commercial,
education and more across QLD, so your technical range grows in every direction
- 250 staff nationally and 60+ in QLD - including the largest fully dedicated electrical engineering team in the state, with no drafters filling the seats, just engineers doing real work
- A clear, unobstructed path forward - the team structure means movement to Senior Engineer and Team Leader is real, not a vague future promise
- Working towards RPEQ with the right support around you - the right people, the right projects, the right setting to get there
Who We're Looking For
You don't need to have everything figured out - that's partly why this role exists. But you do need:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering and 1-3 years of building services experience in the Australian market
- Exposure to electrical building services design - you understand the fundamentals and you're hungry to go deeper
- Familiarity with Australian Standards and local authority requirements
- The kind of drive that means you ask questions, push for understanding and don't settle for "that's just how we do it"
- Strong communication skills - confident communicating at all stakeholder levels
If you've been searching for: Graduate Electrical Engineer, Junior Electrical Engineer Building Services, Electrical Building Services Consultant, Electrical Design Engineer Brisbane, Electrical Engineer Gold Coast - this could be worth a look.
This is the kind of role that doesn't come up often - the right firm, the right team size, the right moment in your career. If you're ready to build the engineering foundation that sets you apart long-term, we want to hear from you.
Not quite ready to jump? Reach out anyway - we're happy to have an honest chat about whether this is the right move for you right now.
