We’re not here simply to meet compliance requirements. We want to set the standard for practical machine safety. By combining specialist safety engineering with deep automation, electrical and mechanical capability, we help clients identify risk, engineer the right solution and see it through from assessment to implementation and validation.

BRE Services' existing machine safety capability spans consultation, risk assessment, safety requirements specifications, engineering and schematics, electrical and mechanical upgrades, programming and integration, validation and handover.

As demand grows, attracting exceptional talent aligned with our mission is critical. Led by engineers and tradespeople who live and breathe industrial technology, BRE Services offers more than jobs. We offer standout careers built alongside people driven by curiosity, sound engineering judgement and a commitment to creating safer, smarter and more sustainable ways to work.

Machine Safety Engineers, this is your chance to set the standard in machine safety.





We are looking for a Machine Safety Engineer who wants direct exposure to complex industrial environments and the opportunity to work with globally recognised brands and future-focused businesses.

By deploying your capabilities at BRE Services, you’ll work directly with clients to understand their risks, interpret technical and legislative requirements, develop practical solutions and translate engineering decisions into measurable safety and operational outcomes.

You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team with the capability to take safety recommendations beyond the report and into detailed engineering, implementation and validation. This end-to-end model is consistent with BRE's existing machine safety service offering.

The Opportunity

As a Machine Safety Engineerat BRE Services, you will take ownership of machine safety projects from initial risk assessment and consultation through safety design, implementation support, validation and handover.

Working with globally recognised brands across diverse industries, you’ll build relationships directly with clients, combining engineering judgement with a practical understanding of machinery and production environments to turn complex safety requirements into achievable solutions.

This isn't a role confined to writing reports. You'll work alongside automation engineers, electrical teams and mechanical specialists to help clients understand what needs to change, why it needs to change and how it can practically be achieved.
