Senior Mechanical Engineer

Vivid Recruitment is partnering with a well-established, multi-discipline consultancy that’s known for its grounded, no-fuss approach to engineering. With offices across Australia and a strong track record in delivering practical, buildable designs, they’ve built a reputation for quality work and long-term client relationships across sectors like education, health, commercial, retail, and mixed-use.

Right now, they’re looking to bring on a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join their Sydney office—someone confident in HVAC design who can take ownership of projects, liaise with clients, and collaborate across disciplines. It’s an on-site role with solid drafting support and a strong pipeline of projects.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Deliver mechanical (HVAC) designs for a range of building projects—Olympic, health, education, commercial, etc.
• Coordinate with clients, architects, and internal disciplines to ensure cohesive, high-quality outcomes
• Run projects independently, but also contribute as part of a close-knit mechanical team
• Attend site visits, support construction teams, and respond to RFIs where needed
• Support and mentor junior engineers and drafters

What They’re Looking For:

• 5+ years’ experience in mechanical building services design (consultancy background)
• Solid understanding of Australian Standards, NCC, and industry best practice
• Comfortable running jobs and fronting client conversations when needed
• Proficiency in mechanical design software and documentation processes
• Must be Sydney-based or willing to relocate; this is not a remote role

Why Consider This?

• Strong, steady workflow with a grounded and loyal client base
• You’ll be trusted to get on with it—no micromanagement
• Stable consultancy with long-term staff and approachable leadership
• Opportunity to step into more responsibility over time, or simply do great project work in a supportive environment
• Sponsorship is on offer

If you’re a mechanical engineer who enjoys delivering clean, well-coordinated projects—and want to work with a team that values doing the job well without the ego—I’d love to chat.
