Senior Engineer | Fire Protection (Adelaide)
Inspire a better world through influence and design.

Ready to design the future of Fire Protection in the built environment?
Join ADP Consulting, a forward-thinking national consultancy recognised for its innovative, sustainable engineering solutions. We are seeking a Senior Fire Protection Engineer to lead fire protection designs from concept through to construction, delivering high-quality, compliant, and performance-driven solutions across commercial, healthcare, education, and retail projects.

This role is based in Adelaide, where you'll work with our multidisciplinary team to create safe and sustainable buildings that push industry standards forward.

Who We Are
Founded in 2011 in Australia, ADP Consulting is a trusted, sustainability-led engineering consultancy with an international footprint that is renowned for finding the best technical and sustainable solutions to the most complex projects, wherever these may be.

ADP Consulting is committed to inspiring a better world through influence and design, collaborating with industry leaders who are equally as passionate about innovation, design excellence and, importantly, our impact on the planet.

ADP Consulting has now joined forces with Ayesa, one of the world's largest technology and engineering companies, in a move that facilitates new pathways and accelerates our growth.

What is your role?
You will lead the design and documentation of fire protection systems, including both wet and dry systems such as sprinkler systems, fire detection and alarm systems, and hydrant and hose reel systems, guiding projects from concept through to construction. You will work closely with architects, project managers, builders, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver integrated design solutions.

Your work will ensure compliance with Australian Standards, the National Construction Code (NCC), and local authority requirements. You will also conduct site inspections and collaborate with contractors during construction to maintain quality and compliance.

Supporting risk assessments and contributing to fire engineering strategies will be key to ensuring life safety and property protection. You will engage directly with clients to understand their needs and deliver innovative, tailored fire protection solutions that meet both regulatory requirements and performance goals. In addition, you'll mentor and support junior engineers, fostering knowledge sharing and promoting technical excellence across the team.
