Their portfolio includes hyperscale data centres, airports, stadiums, defence and major infrastructure, with a particularly strong pipeline of work within the data centre sector. They will offer a route into the sectors for interested engineers.
With continued growth and major projects ahead, they are looking to strengthen their Sydney mechanical engineering team with an experienced Lead / Principal-level Mechanical Engineer.

A key part of the opportunity is the chance to develop or further strengthen your experience within the data centre sector, working on hyperscale projects alongside experienced engineering professionals.

Culture

You will be joining an established and collaborative team, where people are encouraged to share ideas, develop their expertise and take ownership of their work.
The business has an excellent team and is continuing to grow due to a strong project pipeline. This means you'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers while also having genuine scope to contribute, lead and develop.
There is also a strong focus on flexibility and work-life balance, with working arrangements designed to give employees autonomy while still maintaining a connected and collaborative team environment.
