Role Overview:
This role leads the design output for our client’s mechanical infrastructure product lines (primarily pump stations, pressure sewer systems, and maintenance holes), ensuring safe, fit-for-purpose solutions are developed in line with client specs and internal standards.

  • Supporting Design & Construct delivery teams on project queries
  • Contributing to standardisation and design improvement initiatives
  • Mentoring junior engineers and designers within the Melbourne-based team
   
What We’re Looking For:
  • 5–10 years in mechanical design in wastewater/pump systems
  • Experience delivering water authority or council projects (non-Tier 1 acceptable)
  • Proficient in AutoCAD, Inventor/SolidWorks, and understanding of pipework layouts, valve chambers, and flow control systems
  • Strong stakeholder coordination skills (internal and external)
  • Ability to act as technical checker/verifier (desirable)
  • Comfortable operating as a hands-on, delivery-focused designer
