About the opportunity

Trial By Fire Recruitment is partnering with a fire protection design and construct business seeking an experienced Fire Systems Designer to join its established in-house design team.

This role offers responsibility for developing sprinkler systems from initial design through coordination and construction. You’ll work directly with builders and other designers, applying your technical knowledge to produce practical, compliant designs for new and existing buildings.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving design problems, making informed technical decisions and taking ownership of their projects.

Your responsibilities

- Design fire sprinkler systems from scratch, including layouts, supporting calculations and technical documentation.
- Develop and coordinate designs using Revit.
- Apply relevant Australian Standards, building requirements and project specifications.
- Participate in coordination meetings with builders, consultants and other services designers.
- Identify clashes and resolve design issues before and during construction.
- Manage design revisions, construction queries and project documentation.




- Work with the internal design team to deliver accurate, coordinated designs to project deadlines.

What you’ll bring
- Demonstrated experience independently designing fire sprinkler systems.
- Solid hands-on Revit skills.
- Sound knowledge of relevant Australian Standards and their practical application.
- The ability to explain and take responsibility for your design decisions.
- Experience coordinating with builders and other design disciplines.
- Clear communication, problem-solving skills and the ability to manage your workload.
- Around three to five years of relevant experience would be a useful guide, although demonstrated capability is more important than tenure.
- An engineering degree in mechanical, hydraulic, building or civil engineering is highly regarded, but is not essential.

What’s on offer
- Ownership of designs from initial development through construction.
- An established in-house design team.
- Full-time, permanent employment with standard 9am–5pm hours.
- A Crows Nest office close to the metro, cafés and local amenities.
- Salary negotiated around your experience and technical capability.
