  • Comprehensive knowledge of NABERS, GreenStar standards and DA 19.
  • Oversee projects from feasibility to commissioning, ensuring excellence at every stage.
  • Partner with clients, consultants, and project teams to deliver best-in-class outcomes.

What We're Looking For:

  • 10+ years experience in HVAC and Refrigeration engineering
  • Mechanical Contracting experience
  • CPENG, RPEv or equivalent
  • Expertise in value-engineering, energy efficiency & system optimisation.
  • Passion for smart, data-driven HVACR solutions that improve sustainability & asset performance.

What's in It for You?

  • Exciting Projects – Work on major Australian assets & Tier 1 clients.
  • Sustainability Focus – Contribute to a future-ready, energy-efficient built environment.
  • Flexible working conditions that works for you as we know flexibility means different things to different people. AE Smith can accommodate your needs.
  • Establish and progress your career in a large Australian-owned and operated national business.
  • GENUINELY strong culture
  • We are run by Trades people - we understand the pressure you face in your role which is part of our strong culture
  • Career progression reinforced by our pipeline of work means you'll have the opportunity to work on iconic projects and grow with the company.
  • Zero Harm is embedded in team culture and is fundamental to the company's future success. We believe that the physical and mental well-being of our employees is instrumental in our journey towards excellence.
