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.
