Senior Associate – Adelaide

Inspire a better world through influence and design. Ready to take the lead on complex electrical projects and step into a role that matches where your career is heading? We are growing our Building Services team and looking for an experienced Senior Associate Electrical Engineer to join us in Adelaide. You'll work across a diverse portfolio of projects spanning multiple sectors, playing a central role in delivering high-quality electrical engineering solutions and supporting the continued growth of our Adelaide practice.

Applicants must reside in Australia and hold full Australian working rights, as this role does not offer visa sponsorship.

Who We Are

Founded in 2011 in Australia, ADP Consulting is a trusted, sustainability-led engineering consultancy with an international footprint that is renowned for finding the best technical and sustainable solutions to the most complex projects, wherever these may be.

ADP Consulting has now joined forces with Ayesa, one of the world's largest technology and engineering companies, in a move that facilitates new pathways and accelerates our growth.

What is your role?

You'll lead the technical delivery of electrical engineering projects across a diverse range of sectors, taking ownership from concept through to construction. This means managing design outputs, coordinating with architects, other disciplines and contractors, and maintaining the quality and schedule of projects you lead. You'll also play an important role in the development of the Adelaide team, mentoring junior engineers and contributing to the culture and capability of the office. Client liaison is a natural part of your week, and you'll be comfortable holding relationships and representing ADP Consulting with confidence on site and in meetings.
