Projects like these don't come around often. Join a respected consultancy on five major QLD hospitals - Brisbane or Gold Coast, close to home.
About the role
- 5 major QLD hospitals - the infrastructure experience most drafters rarely get
- Your switchboards and cable tray, your model - real ownership, not redlines
- Stay local: Brisbane or Gold Coast, 1 day WFH and more is just a conversation
Our client is delivering five major hospital projects across Queensland and needs up to two Electrical Design Drafters, across its Brisbane and Gold Coast offices, to help bring them to life.
If electrical infrastructure is your thing (switchboards, cable tray, containment, and getting the model right), this is where those skills count most.
Once this wave of healthcare investment across Queensland is complete, it will likely be many years before projects of this scale come around again. For the right electrical designer, it’s a rare window to build serious infrastructure hospital experience.
The Role
You’ll be the person turning electrical infrastructure design into accurate, coordinated documentation and 3D models, working closely with the engineers.
- Electrical infrastructure design and documentation: switchboards, main switchrooms, submains and reticulation
- Cable tray, ladder and containment layouts and routing
- 3D modelling and coordination with other services and the architecture
- Switchboard layouts and schematics
- Supporting lighting, power and communications documentation across the wider portfolio
As well as the hospitals, the team works across:
- Residential towers
- Education and school developments
- Corrections and justice facilities
- Retail and mixed-use developments
This is one of the largest electrical teams in Brisbane, but it doesn’t feel like it.
Instead of one big hierarchy, the electrical team runs as three smaller groups of Associates, Seniors, Intermediates and Graduates. You’ll work hand in hand with experienced engineers who value good drafting and modelling, and you’ll have the wider electrical group behind you.
Location
There are two roles: one in Brisbane and one on the Gold Coast. Both are for people based locally.
The Gold Coast office is part of the firm’s push into Queensland’s coastal markets, so you’d be in on the ground floor of a growing team, with the backing of an established Brisbane practice.
The Culture
The leadership team are experienced engineers who are still hands-on and approachable.
Flexibility is simple and practical. One day a week from home is standard, and anything beyond that is just a conversation.
Most of the team still choose to be in the office, because the collaboration is genuinely good.
Growth & Future Opportunity
Plenty of firms from Melbourne, Sydney and New Zealand are only now setting up in Brisbane. This business already has a strong local presence, an expanding pipeline, and a clear plan for growth across Queensland. That means room to grow with it.
What They’re Looking For
Essential:
- Solid experience in electrical design drafting for building services
- Well versed in electrical infrastructure: switchboards, cable tray and containment, reticulation
- Strong 3D modelling skills to suit, in (Revit)
- Understanding of Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000 and related)
- Based in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast
- Hospital, health or other infrastructure-heavy project experience
- Experience coordinating models with other services
