About Us

Ashburner Francis designs the air, power, water and energy systems behind the buildings people rely on every day: hospitals, schools, stadiums, workplaces and more. Privately owned and established in 1976, we are celebrating 50 years this year, with around 70 people across Brisbane, Toowoomba, Townsville and Darwin.

Our mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and energy engineers work side by side, so you learn how a whole building works, not just your part of it. You sit close to the directors, you get out on site, and your name is on drawings in your first year. Our regional offices work on projects of the same scale as Brisbane, with the same progression.

The Opportunity

Our Toowoomba electrical team is growing on two fronts, and we are looking for Electrical Engineers from experienced graduate through to senior level. Join our Building Services team, our URD and Development team, or work across both. Whichever suits your experience, you will build skills across high, medium and low voltage, something most engineers spend years waiting for.

Building Services Team (experienced graduate to mid-level)

Design the electrical systems inside the buildings our communities rely on. You will have the opportunity to:

- Design HV, MV and LV systems for buildings, including substations, main switchboards and distribution
- Design lighting, power, communications, security and fire detection systems
- Work across education, health, aged care, local government, commercial, industrial and defence projects
- Produce documentation in Revit and AutoCAD, from concept through to construction
- Coordinate with our in-house mechanical and hydraulic engineers, architects and builders
- Get out on site for inspections, commissioning and defect walks

URD and Development Team (mid to senior level)

Lead the design of the power networks that bring new communities and developments to life. You will have the opportunity to:

- Design underground and overhead electrical reticulation for residential, commercial and industrial developments
- Design HV and LV networks,



substations and street lighting to network provider standards
- Work directly with developers, councils, surveyors, civil engineers and the network provider
- Lead projects from feasibility and design through to construction and handover
- Mentor and guide our graduate and undergraduate engineers
- Help shape and grow one of the region's busiest URD teams

Working Across Both

Because both teams sit together in Toowoomba, you can move between them, share knowledge and see how the network connection, the substation and the building all fit together. For the right person, that breadth is a career advantage few other firms can offer.

About You

We are interested in hearing from electrical engineers at every stage, from experienced graduates to seniors. All applicants will have:

- A degree in electrical engineering (Engineers Australia accredited or Washington Accord recognised)
- RPEQ registration, or be working toward it
- Experience with high and medium voltage, or a genuine interest in it
- Clear communication and a practical, solutions-focused approach
- Full working rights in Australia and a current driver licence

For our Building Services team, ideally:

- One to six years of experience in building services or electrical design
- Revit and AutoCAD skills, with PowerCAD or similar a bonus
- A curious mind and a keen interest in learning how the whole system fits together

For our URD and Development team, ideally:

- Five or more years of experience in URD, distribution or network design
- RPEQ registration, or eligibility to register
- Experience with underground and overhead distribution for developments,



and with network provider standards and approvals
- The confidence to lead projects, manage clients and mentor a team

If you started on the tools as an electrician and have since completed your engineering degree, we would especially like to hear from you. That practical background is valued here. And if you are interstate and thinking about a move, get in touch.

What We Offer

- Experience across HV, MV and LV that sets you up for your whole career
- Training and development programs, with mentoring and regular time with our directors
- Support toward RPEQ and NER registration
- Paid professional memberships and CPD
- Paid parental leave
- Birthday leave
- Flexible and hybrid working
- A settled, friendly team where people stay

Why Toowoomba?

Toowoomba offers a great community, an affordable cost of living and no traffic, so your commute is minutes, not hours. Known as the Garden City, it has four seasons, great cafes, parks and schools, and is around two hours from Brisbane with flights from Wellcamp Airport. It is a place where you can do reliable engineering work and still have a life outside it.
