About the Role
u&u are partnering with a well-regarded engineering consultancy to bring on an Associate Mechanical Engineer for their Brisbane Building Services team.
It's a senior, hands-on role. You'll be entrusted with steering medium to large projects from concept through to completion, across a portfolio that spans defence, commercial, health and transport work, so no two weeks look the same.
Beyond the technical delivery, this is a chance to shape a team. You'll mentor engineers coming up through the business, work closely with clients as a trusted advisor, and have a real say in how projects and people are set up to succeed. It suits someone who's done the hard yards in consulting and is ready for more ownership, in a workplace that backs flexibility and trust rather than just talking about it.

Mentor and provide technical direction to engineers across the team;
Manage scope, programme and budget to keep delivery on track;
Work closely with architects, other disciplines and external stakeholders;
Build lasting client relationships that bring in repeat work;and
Check designs and documentation for technical quality, compliance and buildability.

8+ years' experience in mechanical building services engineering;
A track record leading medium to large projects within a consultancy;
Strong technical grounding across HVAC and mechanical systems;
Solid working knowledge of Australian Standards, the NCC and authority requirements;
Comfortable managing projects, clients and multidisciplinary teams at once;
A natural mentor with real interest in developing others;and
Strong communicator who builds trust easily with clients and colleagues.
What's On Offer
