You’ll work on new and improved products across areas such as roofing, walling, cladding, accessories and broader building systems.

confidence working with prototypes, testing, technical data and practical product evaluation

the ability to work closely with manufacturing, commercial and technical stakeholders

a clear, structured communication style, including technical report writing, preparing presentations or product documentation

exposure to the National Construction Code, Australian Standards, CodeMark, AutoCAD, Inventor, 3D modelling, FEA or manufacturing trials would be valuable, but not every item is essential

What You’ll Love

a competitive remuneration package including 14% superannuation, 15% bonus incentive eligibility, and flexible work arrangements
