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 quick, 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 is growing fast and backing this role to match. If you want to build rather than maintain, this is the one.

This role requires full unrestricted Australian work rights.
