Associate Mechanical Engineer - $160 to $180K + Super + Profit Share

Work for a consultancy that rewards you when they do well.

No timesheets, no office politics, no big egos.

Just a solid team of 20 MEP Design Engineers that love designing low carbon buildings, with probably the best company culture in Sydney.

Established over a decade ago in Sydney, this privately owned building services consultancy has always considered their staff to be their greatest assets.

People rarely leave; and when they do it's not to a competitor but rather because they are moving interstate or overseas.

Due to growth, they are now looking for a client facing and commercially aware Associate Mechanical Engineer. Someone who still enjoys liaising with clients, overseeing design and mentoring a team of Seniors and Intermediates.

Someone that isn't afraid to challenge things, or speak up if something doesn't seem right, or if there is a better way to do something.

They're open to either an existing Associate, or an experienced Senior Engineer ready to step up, as well as an established Associate. Here titles are based on what you can deliver, not how many years experience you have in the building services industry.

When the business does well, you do well as a set % of the profit is paid out quarterly. It's genuinely lucrative, and it means you're building something you have a real stake in.

Hands-on directors that all share the same floor as the engineers. Here decisions are quick, feedback is direct, and you'll never be three layers away from the people who matter.

Plus they have never made anyone redundant and they always put people first.

The role

- Direct responsibility for the mechanical team,



supported and backed by the Mechanical Directors when you need it.
- Leading your own projects from concept and design development through documentation, tender and construction phase services
- Owning client, architect and builder relationships on your projects
- Mentoring a well-structured team of a Seniors, Intermediates and Junior engineers.
- Helping shape how the mechanical team grows, with a clear path forward from Associate

- Track record in leading projects and coordinating with architects, other consultants and builders
- Confident managing clients directly and enjoys the people side of engineering

What's in it for you

- A genuinely flexible approach: performance is measured on output, not on time at a desk
- Free travel
- A paid long weekend away for the whole company across all three offices. It's purely social, not a work trip.
