You're already running projects. Meeting clients. Winning repeat work. But you're still waiting for the freedom, influence, and ownership that reflect your value.

This role flips that script.

Fast-track to ownership. A shareholder path is mapped, with capital already ring-fenced for your entry.

Total delivery ownership. Lead projects end-to-end across private healthcare, commercial and aged-care-some up to $250M in value.

Blank canvas leadership. You'll shape your team, your workflows, and your future alongside entrepreneurial directors who value autonomy.

Where you'll be doing it

You'll join a nimble, multidisciplinary team where directors still do the work and make room for future leaders to step in. The model has already delivered success in hydraulics, and they're fully committed to building out the same strength in electrical. This isn't just a hire-it's a strategic move with capital, clients, and a roadmap ready to go.

What you'll be doing (and why it matters)

  • Leading your own projects and people, without red tape or legacy processes.
  • Running healthcare and commercial projects up to $250M in value.
  • Mentoring 3-4 engineers while setting technical and delivery standards.
  • Taking revenue and margin ownership-and being rewarded for it.
  • Shaping the growth of the electrical division and the broader business.

You'll thrive here if…

  • You've spent 7-12 years delivering electrical building services projects from concept to handover.
  • You know what good looks like-and you want the autonomy to build it your way.
  • You're hands-on with clients and confident writing fee proposals.
  • You're hungry to grow a team and take your place at the board table.

Bonus points if you've got experience in healthcare projects or you're chartered (CPEng/CEng)-but they're not deal-breakers.

What you'll get

  • ~$200K base + super + clear profit share/equity path
  • Direct access to the leadership table, with input into business strategy
  • The chance to run your own division without starting from scratch
  • Support to relocate to Australia (especially from the UK/NZ)
  • Flexible work arrangements and dedicated admin/design support
