Electrical Design Engineer in Sutherland

Electrical Design Engineer (Building Services)

Location: Sutherland Shire
Salary: $110,000 - $140,000 + super + bonus + quick progression.

• Unique opportunity for an Electrical Design Engineer to join a Building Services Consultancy in the Sutherland Shire.
• Design it, see it installed, witness the testing, hand it over. Then step up to Senior.
• Clear path to Senior and hands on mentoring from a Chartered Director with 20+ years with Tier 1 Consultancies
• Good work life balance, 8:30am to 5pm, no expectation to work overtime
• Opportunity to develop your skills in ASP3, design management and project management

How many of your projects have you actually seen switched on?

For most Electrical Building Services Design Engineers, the drawings go out, someone else installs them, and you hear how it went second-hand.

Witnessing and commissioning always happen without you.

Here, you're there for all of it and see projects from cradle to grave.

Due to growth, I have a unique opporunity with a privately owned building services practice in the Shire that designs and oversees the installations for electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and fire services.

Here you'll work on complex healthcare, education and commercial projects, for a consultancy that is still small enough that your work is seen, appreciated and acknowledged every day.

You'll work directly under the director, who spent over 20 years at tier one consultancies before building this practice and still does the engineering.

Below you are two juniors which creates a path for you to Senior, with the chance to start guiding others well before the title arrives.

Alongside Electrical Design, you'll pick up ASP3, design management and project management. That combination separates a rounded engineer from a package engineer.

You'll regularly get out of the office to see how your designs are installed and built. Ask any senior engineer and they'll tell you that's where the real learning happens.

The hours are 8:30am to 5pm, with no expectation of overtime.

One honest note, with a director and a couple of Juniors and Graduates there's no one in the middle to hand things off to.

So you'll own your work from day one and will be expected to be able to desig and lead most elements of a project with little supervision.

If you'd rather stay in one lane, staying in a larger consultancy will suit you better.

If however, you want the whole picture, a lot of autonomy, and clear progression, this is a rare opportunity to get it.

Here you'll see your projects through all stages of design, through to installation, witnessing & commissioning and then to handover.

In order to be considered, you'll need at least three years' building services electrical design experience, ideally some experience with ASP3 projects and be Permanent Resident of Australia; or an Australian Citizen.
