WHY YOU WILL BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS ROLE
Ready to see your expertise make real-world impact on Australia's landmark projects?  Our client are seeking a Senior Hydraulic Engineer, to bridge that gap between design excellence and practical construction reality.

Working on high-profile projects across healthcare, commercial, and infrastructure sectors, you'll put your years of expertise to work in a way consulting never allowed. This team doesn't just design systems - they bring them to life, solving those challenging hydraulic puzzles that have fascinated you throughout your career. You'll gain the satisfaction of seeing your solutions implemented while building your reputation as the go-to authority who truly understands both design intent and practical application.
  • Work where designs meet reality and deepen your constructability expertise.
  • Oversee external consultant engineering design teams as ‘the client’
  • If you have not seen both sides of the fence in your career yet, you will have the opportunity to become the rare professional who speaks both "consultant" and "contractor" fluently
WHY YOU WILL LIKE WORKING HERE
Our Brisbane team consists of like-minded professionals who take enormous pride in their work while maintaining a jovial, friendly atmosphere. We're approached by clients at the earliest stages of projects because we're trusted advisors who deliver excellence consistently.

As part of our design team, you'll enjoy the stability of a pipeline of major projects already secured for years ahead, while working in an environment where every team member's contribution is respected and valued. Management provides support without micromanagement, allowing you the freedom to excel.

WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON
You'll collaborate with our engineering team on a diverse range of challenging projects, acting as the senior design authority while coordinating between external consultants and our construction teams. Your unique position will bridge the gap between design intent and practical implementation.
You'll review hydraulic design deliverables, ensuring they meet Australian Standards, project specifications, and client requirements. Your expertise will help identify coordination issues early and develop practical solutions before they impact construction.

Working closely with BIM specialists, you'll ensure that complex hydraulic systems are properly integrated into the overall building model, reviewing coordination between services, identifying potential issues, and developing practical solutions before they impact construction. Your design coordination responsibilities will include reviewing shop drawings, evaluating constructability, and ensuring compliance with project specifications and Australian Standards.

WHAT TYPE OF PERSON WILL BE SUCCESSFUL
You're an experienced hydraulic engineer who understands both design principles and practical implementation. Your consulting background has given you strong technical skills, but you're now eager to see your designs come to life on-site.
  • Engineering qualification with RPEQ or trade qualification with QBCC license
  • At least 7 years experience in the local market with complex hydraulic systems
  • Strong understanding of Australian Standards and regulations for hydraulic services
  • Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively with diverse teams
  • Excellent communication skills to liaise between design teams and construction personnel
  • Communication skills that can translate technical complexities into actionable solutions
If you find yourself mentally redesigning systems whenever you walk into a building, or if you've accumulated a mental library of "what not to do" from years of experience, we want to talk to you. Your expertise deserves a place where it will be truly valued.
