About the Opportunity

Our client is a specialist engineering consultancy focused on the design, operation and integrity of long-distance slurry, water and associated pipeline systems.

Working across Australia and internationally, the business supports clients from early studies through to detailed engineering, operations, troubleshooting and optimisation. Their approach combines deep pipeline expertise with practical operating experience and a strong focus on engineering solutions that work reliably in the field.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Pipeline Engineer to join their West Perth-based team.

This is a senior technical and client-facing opportunity suited to an engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, working directly with clients and developing the next generation of engineers.

The Role

You will take a leading role in delivering pipeline studies, designs and technical advisory assignments across mining and resources projects.

Depending on your experience, your responsibilities will include:

- Leading and contributing to pipeline engineering studies from concept, PFS and DFS through FEED and detailed design.
- Developing and reviewing design criteria, technical reports, specifications, calculations and engineering deliverables.
- Providing technical leadership across hydraulic design, mechanical design, operating philosophy, pipeline integrity and associated infrastructure.
- Reviewing engineering work and maintaining technical quality across project deliverables.
- Working directly with clients to understand project and operational objectives and develop practical engineering solutions.
- Leading technical discussions, workshops and project meetings with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
- Supporting site investigations, commissioning, troubleshooting and operational improvement activities.
- Mentoring and developing junior and intermediate engineers.
- Contributing to the development of engineering methods, tools, standards and technical knowledge.





The position is predominantly Perth-based, with occasional short-duration travel to project sites and client locations in Australia and internationally.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an experienced pipeline engineer with strong technical capability and the judgement to operate effectively within a specialist consulting environment.

Ideally, you will have:

- A degree in Mechanical, Civil, Chemical or related engineering discipline.
- Significant experience in pipeline engineering, preferably within mining, slurry, water, tailings or long-distance pipeline systems.
- Experience delivering engineering studies and designs across multiple project stages.
- Strong knowledge of pipeline hydraulics, mechanical design, pipeline systems and operational considerations.
- Experience working within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- The ability to independently develop, review and defend technical recommendations.

More Than Technical Expertise

Strong Technical Writing

You will be able to communicate complex engineering issues clearly and concisely, including through technical reports, design criteria, specifications, technical memoranda and client correspondence.

Client-Facing Leadership

You will be comfortable representing the business directly with clients, leading technical discussions, explaining complex issues in practical terms, constructively challenging assumptions and building trusted relationships.

Mentoring & Development

You will play an important role in developing the broader engineering team through mentoring, technical reviews,



knowledge sharing and helping junior engineers build their technical judgement.

Continuous Improvement

We value engineers who look for better ways of working. This may include improving engineering methods, developing tools, learning from operating pipelines, challenging assumptions or incorporating new research and testing into engineering practice.

Relationship Driven

The business is built around long-term relationships with clients, colleagues and industry partners. Technical capability is essential, but so are collaboration, dependability and the ability to build trust.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join a specialist engineering business where you can remain technically engaged while having genuine influence across projects, clients and the development of other engineers.

You will have the prospect to:

- Work on major Australian and international pipeline projects.
- Solve complex engineering and operational problems.
- Work alongside highly experienced pipeline specialists.
- Have meaningful involvement with clients and project decision-making.
- Mentor and develop younger engineers.
- Influence engineering standards, methodologies and tools.
- Access specialist slurry testing and R&D; capability.
- See your engineering recommendations carried through into operating pipeline systems.
- Build long-term technical capability within an independent engineering business.

The business places a strong emphasis on technical quality, practical engineering, relationships and continuous improvement.
