  • Working with external stakeholders, ensuring client satisfaction and pursuing and promoting opportunities with potential and established clients.
  • Design management within the mechanical engineering field and more broadly, including managing to programme, budget and quality requirements.
  • Demonstrating technical expertise, providing in depth knowledge and leadership whilst proactively coaching, mentoring and developing more junior team members.

Mott MacDonald is looking for the best international practitioners in this field and welcomes applicants worldwide. Work location can be flexible, and candidates can be based internationally or in our Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, or Brisbane offices.

About you
We are seeking an engineering specialist who is proactive, will take responsibility for the tasks assigned and is interested in developing professionally. You will need to have substantial experience in the power industry with hydropower-specific experience. Your knowledge and practice experience working on projects with a consultant, developer, owner or contractor will set you up for success. You'll also need the following qualifications and capabilities:

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a Chartered Engineer with professional registration (or ability to obtain)
  • Experience in the design of mechanical engineering works for hydropower, energy and dams projects at concept and detailed design stages.
  • Experience of working with OEM suppliers including review and integration of their designs.
  • Familiarity with the broader disciplines required for hydropower projects and experience with inter-discipline liaison and management of interfaces.
