Mechanical Project Engineer | FIFO | Renewable Energy Project

Up to $1,100/day + Super | 2/1 Roster | 6-Month Contract

We are seeking a driven, hands-on Mechanical HVAC Project Engineer to join a Tier 1 contractor delivering a bespoke renewable energy project in Queensland.

This is an opportunity to contribute to one of Queensland's most complex projects, taking ownership of day-to-day project engineering activities across a major HVAC package.

Operating on a FIFO 2/1 roster from any East Coast airport, this six-month contract is suited to an experienced site-based Mechanical Engineer who enjoys being on the ground, solving problems and driving project delivery.

This is a hands-on Project Engineer role — not a Senior Engineer or management position. We want practical, delivery-focused engineers who are happy to roll up their sleeves, get involved in the detail and keep the project moving.

The Opportunity

Working as part of a high-performing project team, you will be responsible for the day-to-day engineering and coordination of a major HVAC package within a complex renewable energy development.

Your responsibilities will include

- Managing day-to-day project engineering activities across the HVAC package.
- Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, site teams and other project stakeholders.
- Monitoring installation progress, quality, safety and technical compliance.
- Reviewing drawings, specifications, technical submissions and construction documentation.
- Resolving site-based technical issues and coordinating practical engineering solutions.
- Tracking project progress, identifying potential delays and supporting programme delivery.
- Managing RFIs, variations, technical queries and project documentation.
- Working closely with construction and commissioning teams to ensure works are delivered to specification and programme.




- Maintaining a visible site presence and taking a proactive, solutions-focused approach to project delivery.

About You You are a practical Mechanical Project Engineer who thrives in a site-based workplace and enjoys being directly involved in the delivery of complex HVAC works.

To be considered, you will have:

- A minimum of 5 years' experience delivering HVAC projects in a site-based project engineering role.
- A mechanical engineering degree or relevant engineering qualifications.
- Demonstrated experience coordinating mechanical services installation and resolving technical issues on site.
- Strong knowledge of project engineering processes, construction documentation and subcontractor coordination.
- A proactive, hands-on attitude and the confidence to take ownership of day-to-day engineering deliverables.
- The ability to work effectively within a fast-paced project environment and contribute from day one.
- Availability to commence ASAP and commit to a FIFO 2/1 roster.

Importantly, we are not looking for a Senior Project Engineer, Engineering Manager or someone seeking a predominantly leadership-focused role. This position is ideal for an engineer who wants to stay close to the work, get involved in the detail and make a tangible contribution to project delivery. What's on Offer?
- Above Market Daily Rate
- Six-month contract, commencing ASAP.
- FIFO on a 2 weeks on / 1 week off roster.
- Flights from any East Coast airport.
- The opportunity to work with a Tier 1 contractor on one of Queensland's most complex projects.
- Involvement in a major HVAC package on a bespoke renewable energy development.
- A challenging, site-based role where your engineering expertise will directly contribute to project success.

Interested? If you're a driven Mechanical Project Engineer with strong site-based HVAC delivery experience and you're ready to get stuck into a major project, we'd like to hear from you.
