Our client is one of the fastest-growing names in Australia's pressure sewer and packaged pump station space, and they're bringing on a Design Lead to build their design function from the ground up.

This foundation role offers the opportunity to make an impact from day one. This is not just a seat at the table, but a unique role that imbeds the interface of commercial, product and engineering.

Join a company that is making its mark rapid, and take genuine ownership of a design function that will shape how they build for years to come.

About the role

- Own the technical integrity of the business's pump station and pressure sewer designs end to end
- Oversee hydraulic design and pump station sizing, and review and approve pump selection and duty points
- Validate network modelling across connected systems, ensuring everything that leaves the business is WSAA-compliant and delivered on program
- Build the business's design control from scratch, implementing a Design and Development Control Procedure under ISO 9001 as it extends its management system to ISO 45001
- Sign off design outputs before they reach clients, contractors and water agencies
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for principal contractors on major infrastructure projects




- Present at internal training and innovation sessions and lead technical visits for customers and contractors

About you, and what you need to be successful

- Degree in Civil, Mechanical or Environmental Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Demonstrated hydraulic design experience across pump stations and pressure sewer systems, with solid WSA/WSAA code application
- Confidence interpreting pump curves and confirming duty points for wastewater applications
- Comfortable coordinating between internal teams and an external engineering partner
- Experience with precast concrete pump station systems, WSAA product appraisal, or working within an ISO-certified quality system will set you apart
- Above all, the want to build something rather than inherit it. Come to the role with a readiness to own a design function's foundations, not just execute within someone else's process

This is a rare chance to lay the foundations of a design function from scratch, reporting directly to the General Manager of a business that's growing fast and backing this role to match. If you want to build rather than maintain, this is the one.
