If you're a Mechanical Engineer wanting ownership of projects from concept through to commissioning, this role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact.

Your New Company

An established Australian engineering and services business delivering pumping, equipment, and fluid management solutions across mining, infrastructure, data centres and heavy industrial sectors. With a strong reputation and established relationships with Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers, the business is expanding its project delivery capability to pursue larger, more complex engineering packages across Australia.

Your Current Role

You'll join a growing pumping and fluid management project delivery team as the technical lead. You'll work across complete project packages, working closely with drafters, fabricators, suppliers, workshop teams and clients to deliver practical solution that balance performance, cost and constructability. Key responsibilities will include:

- Designing and specifying mechanical equipment packages, including piping, structural skids, valves and auxiliary equipment.
- Reviewing and improving designs to ensure efficiency, constructability and compliance with client requirements.
- Coordinating suppliers, fabricators and internal delivery teams through execution, inspection and handover.
- Providing technical guidance to drafting and support teams.
- Supporting commissioning and occasional site-based activities.




- Working across multiple projects and help drive consistency in engineering standards and project delivery.

Your Skillset

You'll ideally bring the following to the role:

- A Mechanical Engineering degree and a solid understanding of heavy industrial projects.
- Experience working with fabricated steel structures, skid packages, piping systems and associated mechanical equipment.
- Exposure to project delivery, whether as a project engineer, mechanical engineer or design engineer.
- A practical approach to problem solving and a willingness to get involved across the full project lifecycle.
- Experience from mining, industrial processing, EPCM, fabrication, HVAC, chemical processing or related industries will be well regarded.

Why this role?

- Diverse and technically interesting projects.
- A low-hierarchy, no-ego environment where recent ideas and challenging the status quo is welcomed.
- Robust growth plans within the projects division.
- Exposure to both engineering and project delivery rather than being confined to a narrow design role.
- A genuine pathway into leadership responsibilities as the team expands.

Based in Sydney, the role is primarily office-based with regular collaboration across engineering, project delivery and workshop teams, plus occasional site travel.
