As a global leader in smart buildings, thermal management, energy efficiency, and decarbonisation, we help customers operate more efficiently, reduce carbon emissions, and build resilient, future‑ready facilities across various sectors.
As part of the JCI family, Gordon Brothers Industries (GBI) is Australia's largest industrial refrigeration company, with over a century of experience delivering world‑class refrigeration and process cooling solutions. Operating across every mainland state, GBI partners with some of Australia's most recognised organisations in food and beverage manufacturing, cold storage, mining, chemical processing, and industrial production.
This is an opportunity to work on some of Australia's most complex and technically challenging industrial refrigeration projects while contributing to the transition to more sustainable, energy‑efficient industries. Based in Sydney, you'll join a highly experienced team delivering end‑to‑end projects, from concept and design through to commissioning and handover.
The Role: As a Project Engineer, you will play a key role in the successful delivery of industrial refrigeration and process cooling projects across various sectors. You will be responsible for managing project deliverables, coordinating installation and commissioning activities, maintaining strong stakeholder relationships, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget.

- Coordinate internal and external project resources to achieve key milestones
- Monitor project financial performance and maintain accurate forecasting

About You: Project engineering or project management experience within industrial, mechanical, refrigeration, HVAC, electrical, controls, or related industries is essential. Strong technical problem-solving and stakeholder management skills are required, along with excellent communication and customer relationship skills. A proactive and solutions-focused approach is necessary, as well as the ability to travel to customer and project sites when required.
Industrial refrigeration experience is highly regarded; however, we also welcome applications from engineers and project professionals looking to transition from HVAC, building services, oil & gas, manufacturing, process engineering, electrical, or control systems backgrounds.
