Full Job Description

Cell Engineering is a leading engineering and consultancy firm delivering premier compliance, design, and commissioning services across the mining, gas, chemical, food, and port sectors. Due to strategic growth and expanding market demand across the East Coast, our Brisbane and Mackay branches are looking to add accredited Hazardous Area (HA), High Voltage (HV), and professional Dangerous Goods (DG) Auditors—or high-calibre technical professionals ready to be mentored into these senior-level roles.

The Opportunity

Supported directly by our established Principal auditing team and project managers, you will either:

As an existing Accredited Auditor / AIDGC Consultant Member: Continue building your knowledge base and business acumen as you develop a portfolio of clients across a range of legislative regimes to support Cell’s expansion.
As an aspiring Auditor: Be developed into a subject matter expert capable of inspecting, verifying, and certifying complex HA and HV electrical installations under the Queensland Electrical Safety Act. For the right candidates, these roles offer a structured pathway to full Queensland ESO Auditor Accreditation and associate membership with the Australian Institute of Dangerous Goods Consultants (AIDGC).

Key Responsibilities

Conduct detailed site inspections of high voltage and hazardous area electrical installations to ensure compliance with AS/NZS 3000, the AS/NZS 60079 series of standards, and AS 2067.
Review technical installation documentation, verification dossiers, engineering designs, and testing records.
Author comprehensive, legally compliant audit reports, interim certificates, and final Certificates of Inspection and Confirmation.
Manage client relationships on-site, delivering technical findings and compliance updates with a consultative, positive, and clear communication style.
Travel frequently (typically 2–5 days, occasionally at short notice) to various asset locations throughout Queensland, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory.

Who We Are Looking For

We welcome applications from existing accredited auditors, AIDGC consultants with an electrical background, tertiary-qualified electrical engineers, or senior electrical trade professionals who meet the following criteria:

Qualifications & Experience:

Tertiary Pathway: Degree-qualified Engineer eligible for RPEQ registration with a minimum of 5 years of post-graduate experience.
Trade Pathway: Trade-qualified Electrical Supervisor with active S1, S2, S3, and G2 competencies and a minimum of 5 years of supervisory experience.
Strong practical background across heavy industries (e.g., mining, gas, marine ports, or food manufacturing) with proven installation, testing, and commissioning knowledge.

Highly Regarded Certificates & Skills (Desirable but not essential):

Electrical Equipment for Hazardous Areas (EEHA)
Hazardous Area Classification & Design (HACD)
HV Isolation & Access (HVIA)
Existing independent auditing certifications (e.g., SAI Global, Intertek Academy)
Basic project management acumen (understanding contracts, purchase orders, variations, and invoicing)
Current RPEQ registration (Electrical)

Personal Attributes & Site Requirements:

Thorough knowledge of relevant Australian Standards, electrical regulations, and applicable legislative regimes (coal mining, electrical safety, electricity supply, petroleum & gas, and WHS).
Exceptional written communication skills with high proficiency in technical report writing.
Fully comfortable with site protocols, camp accommodation, and regular Drug & Alcohol testing.
Proficient with modern workplace IT systems (MS Office suite; AutoCAD literacy is a plus).
Must hold a current, full Australian Driver’s Licence.
Must be able to pass and hold a Coal Board Medical Certificate.
Willingness and ability to mentor junior engineers on their pathway to becoming future auditors.

What We Offer

Direct, day-to-day mentoring from fully accredited company auditors and Senior Project Managers to guide you through your QLD ESO, AIDGC registration, and RPEQ registration pathways.
Cell Engineering invests heavily in professional development. We will actively sponsor and support your ongoing technical training and independent auditing credentials.
A varied portfolio of industrial and commercial projects, offering genuine professional latitude for qualified and experienced auditors.
A stable, rewarding remuneration package with flexible "give and take" working arrangements to balance travel demands.
