2 weeks ago


Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia Beaver Process Equipment Full time

Lead a small team while staying hands-on with product design and problem-solving.

Improve engineering processes and optimise designs for manufacturability.

Fast-growing company investing in digital engineering and new products.

Looking for your next step? Lead a small team while staying on the tools. Work on challenging engineering projects in a fast-growing company with global ambitions.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on team lead role for an experienced design engineer ready to step up and take charge of a small, high-performing team.

You will lead day-to-day engineering operations, working closely with the Engineering Manager to execute the product development roadmap, improve design processes, and deliver high-quality, made-to-order products.

Lead & Support

Work alongside a small team, assign tasks, troubleshoot technical challenges, and coach junior engineers on best practices.

Own the Design Process

Take concepts from idea to production, creating and refining CAD models, assemblies, and detailed manufacturing drawings.

Digital Tools & Automation

Work with parametric design, 3D CAD, and engineering automation.

Configure-to-Order & Engineer-to-Order

Support pre-production engineering and manufacturability.

This is a practical, execution-focused role—perfect for a strong engineer who wants more responsibility without stepping away from technical work.

The Role

You will lead and work alongside a small Product Design & Engineering team, helping to develop products, improve designs, and streamline engineering workflows.

Key Responsibilities:Lead & Support

Work alongside your team, provide guidance, troubleshoot technical issues, and ensure smooth execution of projects.

Own the Design Process

Refine CAD models, improve design standards, and ensure manufacturability of products.

Pre-Production Engineering

Optimise designs for efficient, high-quality manufacturing (DFMA, compliance).

Application Engineering

Provide technical expertise to support sales and client-specific modifications.

Engineering Process Improvement

Standardise design workflows, implement best practices, and streamline execution.

Technology & Digital Tools

Use CAD, parametric design, and simulation tools to improve accuracy and efficiency.

This role is heavily involved in execution—you'll be working hands-on with the Engineering Manager, Manufacturing Engineering team, and Production team to make things happen.

First 12-18 Months Priorities:
  • Improve and document design processes and workflows.
  • Implement parametric design principles to automate repetitive work.
  • Standardise and refine our configure-to-order product range.
  • Work closely with manufacturing to improve design for manufacture (DFMA).
The Ideal Candidate

We need a practical, hands-on engineer who enjoys both leading and doing—someone who can solve problems, guide a team, and improve our product designs.

You Will Be:
  • Independent, proactive, and structured – Take responsibility and own your work.
  • A problem-solver – Identify issues, troubleshoot solutions, and refine engineering processes.
  • Technically strong – A first-principles thinker with excellent attention to detail.
  • Practical and hands-on – Comfortable working directly on CAD models and engineering tasks.
Experience We're Looking For:
  • Engineering degree (Mechanical or similar).
  • 5+ years in product design & engineering in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong CAD skills (Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar), including parametric and modular design.
  • Pre-production engineering & design-for-manufacture experience.
  • Some team leadership or mentoring experience (leading drafters, junior engineers, or small teams).

This role is ideal for a Senior Engineer looking to take on leadership responsibilities without stepping away from technical work.

Why Join Us?

This is a career-building role for an ambitious engineer who wants to develop leadership skills while staying deeply involved in design and engineering.

Step Up

Take on leadership while staying hands-on.

Stay Technical

Lead a team without stepping away from design.

Growth Path
