Ready to break out of the ordinary? This isn’t just a job — it’s a gateway to lead from the front, drive real impact, and shape a career most engineers only find in metro centres. We’re partnering with a standout Australian manufacturer, a business deeply rooted in innovation, performance, and continuous improvement. Renowned for their robust, locally-built mobile equipment and unwavering customer support, they’re now investing in the next generation of engineering leadership. Why This Role Stands Out: Lead with Influence; This is more than a technical role — it's your platform to lead. You'll have the autonomy to steer design innovation, mentor rising engineers, and play a strategic role in engineering direction. It's a genuine pathway to people leadership, built for those who are ready to grow. Engineer Big Things in a Regional Setting; You’ll work on major national projects — the kind that shape industry standards — while based in Bundaberg, a city where lifestyle and career ambition coexist. Skip the traffic, own your weekends, and still work at the top of your game. Impact Starts with Innovation; Design and refine next-gen mobile equipment. Lead FEA analysis that underpins reliability. Collaborate across functions to elevate performance. This role is hands-on, high-impact, and central to how the business continues to lead. What You’ll Own: Lead the design and drafting of new and modified heavy mobile equipment Perform FEA and deliver solutions that stand up to real-world use Collaborate with cross-functional teams to advance engineering processes Champion CAD standards and systems (Autodesk Inventor Vault) Integrate mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical elements into seamless solutions Uphold quality, compliance, and continuous improvement What You’ll Bring: Mechanical Engineering degree (Engineers Australia recognition ideal) Deep experience in mechanical design, ideally mobile equipment Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor and systems integration A growth mindset — strategic, organised, and ready to lead Why Now? Why You? This is a chance to build something meaningful — your career, your team, and the next evolution of engineering in essential services. If you’re ready to lead with purpose, backed by a business that champions innovation and people in equal measure, this is your moment.
