About the Role

This role is ideal for someone with solid engineering foundations who enjoys seeing their designs come to life in the workshop.

  • Participate in QA checks, design reviews, and process improvement initiatives
  • Support R&D and continuous improvement projects across design and production

About You

We're looking for someone hands-on, curious, and detail-oriented — with a strong mechanical mindset and the drive to grow.

You'll bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
  • Graduate Mechanical Engineer or early-career professional with 1–4 years' experience in mechanical design or manufacturing.
  • SolidWorks user proficiency with assemblies, configurations, and drafting capabilities
  • Knowledge of fabrication, machining, and mechanical assembly processes
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • A team-first attitude and willingness to learn from experienced engineers.
  • Permanent work rights required

Why Join Us?

At Challenge Pumps, you'll be part of a passionate team building industry-leading equipment that keeps mining operations moving across Australia. We offer:

  • A supportive, close-knit engineering and production team
  • Opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career.
  • Exposure to full project lifecycles — from concept to commissioning
  • A modern workshop environment with genuine variety in work

If you're ready to take the next step in your mechanical engineering career and enjoy being part of a growing, practical, and solutions-driven team — we'd love to hear from you.
