  • Collaborate with team members, share knowledge, and mentor junior staff

Skills and Experience

  • 3+ years' experience in building hydraulics within the Australian construction industry (residential or light commercial focus preferred)
  • High proficiency in AutoCAD; familiarity with calculation tools
  • Sound knowledge of NCC, AS/NZS 3500 series, and relevant council/utility guidelines
  • Ability to manage competing priorities, deliver projects on time, and maintain high-quality outcomes
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to interpret, apply, and explain standards to clients and colleagues
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications in Engineering (or equivalent demonstrated experience)
