Senior Fire Protection

3 weeks ago

City of Melbourne, Australia ClearCompany Full time

Overview

Why this role is different. Most building services consultancies stop at design. This role delivers fire and hydraulics design solutions and also contributes to inspections, technical due diligence, project management, and client advisory. You’ll shape how complex buildings are delivered, not just how they look on paper. They operate nationally across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, working with asset owners, landlords, and corporate real estate groups on projects that span chiller replacements, riser and pipework upgrades, fire system reviews, switch room refurbishments, and full building repositioning. Youd be the go-to senior in Melbourne for hydraulics and wet fire, supporting a team of project managers and engineers, while collaborating with interstate specialists.

Responsibilities

- Designing and reviewing fire and hydraulic systems for complex building upgrades

- Signing off across both disciplines (wet fire + hydraulics), or developing toward that capability

- Conducting site inspections, risk assessments, and technical due diligence

- Working closely with client-side PMs, giving you visibility on budgets, timelines, and delivery strategies

- Coordinating with Sydney-based engineers and occasionally leading client discussions

Qualifications

- Experience in both fire and hydraulics (or fire with hydraulics exposure and a willingness to build capability further)

- Ideally with sign-off capability in VIC and working toward/holding accreditation in NSW (FPAS)

- Comfortable working autonomously as the Melbourne lead engineer while plugged into a national team

- Strong technical depth, with the confidence to provide practical solutions on site and in meetings

What’s in it for you

- Career scope: Exposure to client-side project management, not just design

- Variety: Projects across VIC, NSW, and TAS, spanning mission critical, healthcare, industrial, and commercial

- Visibility: Direct line into senior directors, with a say in delivery outcomes and business direction

- Flexibility: Opportunity to be Melbourne's lead engineer, avoiding the "cookie-cutter" feel of larger firms

- Competitive salary: Typically $125k-$155k base, with room for the right person
