Adelaide, South Australia Codan Limited Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

About Us

Minelab is a technology company that creates world-leading metal detectors to help humanitarian organisations clear landmines, African miners find life-changing gold nuggets, and historians to recover lost relics. We have a culture of innovation which allows us to be a leader in bringing new technology to customers across the globe. We make everything ourselves; creative design and detailed engineering are the lifeblood of developing new products at Minelab.

Excitement in the Engineering team comes from converting raw ideas into products that exceed customer's expectations including rapid concept prototyping, architecting, detailed design, product integration, and the transition to manufacturing.

Join Minelab, part of the Codan group, an ASX listed technology company, and build the next generation of world-leading products.

About the Role

Reporting to the Systems Engineering Manager, you will lead a multidisciplinary product development team in collaboration with the Project Manager. Together, you will drive the definition, systems integration, delivery, and technical management of our metal detector products — from concept through to production. This role offers the opportunity to shape innovative products while guiding a talented engineering team through the full development lifecycle.

You will:

  • Provide clear direction to the project team, setting milestones, deliverables, and expectations.
  • Manage the systems development process, ensuring engineering requirements are effectively communicated and that verification and validation activities qualify products for production.
  • Coordinate prototype builds, testing programs, and field evaluations to confirm product performance and reliability.
  • Foster strong relationships with internal stakeholders (Domain Leads, Marketing Team) and external partners (customers, suppliers, subcontractors, and sales representatives).

About You

You will hold a bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Software) and bring proven experience in senior engineering or project leadership roles within multi-disciplinary environments. You'll have hands-on experience across all stages of the Systems Development Lifecycle and ideally in consumer product engineering and product realisation within a manufacturing environment.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has strong analytical and proactive problem-solving skills, capable of making decisive, forward-thinking decisions.
  • Leads and motivates engineering and cross-functional teams, mentoring others to achieve excellence.
  • Can effectively negotiate and influence stakeholders to drive successful project outcomes.
  • Is familiar with Confluence and Jira (highly regarded).

Benefits and Culture

Our culture is supportive and collaborative. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where we share our ideas and innovation is strongly encouraged.  We are looking for someone with genuine passion and can-do attitude for what they do.

Our Head office is located in Mawson Lakes offering a spacious, modern facility, free secure onsite parking, easy access via public transport, and an onsite subsidised café. We also have recreational facilities including a gym, basketball and tennis court, as well as various game tables. Additionally, our staff are provided flexibility to meet the demands of family life, a child-friendly parenting room, and a variety of staff events to connect with colleagues across the Codan Group.
