We partner with major mining and engineering companies to deliver practical, real-world solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, and performance across the full asset life cycle.

As a Pipeline Engineer, you'll work alongside industry leaders to support the design, analysis, and optimisation of concentrate, tailings, and water pipeline systems. You'll gain hands-on experience across a broad range of project phases—from concept through operations—while contributing to field investigations, hydraulic modelling, cost estimation, and system design.


Key Responsibilities
  • Support the design and development of slurry, tailings, and water pipeline systems.
  • Perform hydraulic modelling and steady-state / transient pressure analyses using in-house tools and software (Excel/VBA, AFT Impulse, or similar).
  • Assist with material and equipment selection, specifications, and data sheet preparation.
  • Contribute to pipeline route selection, system layout drawings, PFDs, and P&IDs.
  • Support capital and operating cost estimates and benchmarking studies.
  • Participate in site visits, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities (domestic and international).
  • Prepare technical reports, scopes of work, and client presentations.
  • Engage with clients, vendors, and subcontractors under supervision of senior engineers.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and internal R&D initiatives in slurry pipeline design and testing.

Your Background
  • 3–6 years of relevant experience in mining, heavy industry, water, or energy sectors.
  • Exposure to slurry or water pipeline systems preferred (design, modelling, or operations).
  • Working knowledge of design codes such as ASME B31.4, AS 2885, or equivalents.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability; skilled in Excel and hydraulic modelling.
  • Some familiarity with VBA, Python, or data analysis advantageous.
  • Experience preparing technical deliverables (reports, datasheets, scopes of work).
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, or Mining Engineering.
  • Perth-based, with Australian work rights.

Soft Skills
  • Self-motivated and proactive with strong attention to detail.
  • Clear communicator with excellent technical writing ability.
  • Curious, analytical, and eager to learn from field and laboratory data.
  • Team-oriented but capable of independent work.
  • Enthusiastic about working in a small, high-performance technical team.

What Fortin Pipelines Offers
  • Mentorship and development under leading pipeline specialists.
  • Exposure to international mining projects and advanced laboratory test facilities.
  • A flat, collaborative structure where initiative and innovation are valued.
