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 ****, 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 serious engineering work and still have a life outside it.
