## Position Overview
We are looking for a skilled and driven Engineering Technologist to join our team and contribute to the analysis, development, and implementation of engineering technologies across a range of projects. This role is suited to a technically minded professional who thrives on problem-solving, continuous improvement, and bridging the gap between engineering theory and practical application. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to evaluate existing systems, recommend enhancements, and ensure new technologies are rigorously tested and ready for deployment. If you have a passion for innovation and a methodical approach to engineering challenges, we encourage you to apply.
## Key Responsibilities
- Analyse existing engineering technologies to assess performance, identify inefficiencies, and determine opportunities for improvement or replacement.
- Develop and present well-researched recommendations for upgrading or optimising current technologies, ensuring alignment with project goals and industry best practice.
- Design, conduct, and oversee structured testing procedures for both new and modified technologies, accurately recording findings and preparing detailed technical reports.
- Prepare and review technical drawings, schematics, and models of new technologies using CAD or other relevant software tools.
- Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and stakeholders to support the end-to-end delivery of engineering projects, from concept through to implementation.
- Assist in the evaluation and selection of materials, components, and systems that meet project specifications, safety requirements, and budget constraints.
- Monitor engineering processes and outputs to ensure compliance with relevant Australian and international standards, codes, and regulations.
- Investigate technical problems and equipment failures, conducting root cause analysis and contributing to the development of effective corrective actions.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date technical documentation, including test records, specifications, and project progress reports.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives by researching emerging technologies and contributing to the development of innovative engineering solutions.
- Liaise with suppliers, contractors, and external technical specialists as required to support procurement and project delivery activities.
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior technicians and support staff where required.
## Required Qualifications & Skills
- Bachelor's degree or Associate Degree in Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated experience in an engineering technologist or similar technical role within a relevant industry.
- Strong ability to analyse complex technical data and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
- Proficiency in CAD software (such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or equivalent) and the ability to produce accurate technical drawings and models.
- Sound knowledge of relevant Australian standards, codes of practice, and workplace health and safety legislation.
- Experience conducting and documenting technical testing procedures in a structured and methodical manner.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare professional technical reports and present findings to diverse audiences.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritise workloads, and meet project deadlines.
- High attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in all technical work.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team environment.
## Preferred Qualifications
- Membership with Engineers Australia or a relevant professional engineering body.
- Postgraduate qualifications or professional development certifications in a specialised engineering discipline.
- Experience working within industries such as infrastructure, manufacturing, resources, or defence.
- Familiarity with project management methodologies and tools such as MS Project or similar platforms.
- Exposure to lean engineering, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement frameworks.
- Knowledge of Building Information Modelling (BIM) or digital engineering practices.
## Why Join Us?
- Be part of a forward-thinking organisation that values innovation and invests in the latest engineering technologies and tools.
- Enjoy a supportive and collaborative team culture where your technical expertise is recognised and your professional growth is actively encouraged.
- Access ongoing training, mentorship programmes, and opportunities for career advancement within a growing engineering practice.
