About the Consultancy

This is a boutique building services firm that's been delivering smart, high-quality engineering for almost a decade. With teams in Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne, and a growing engineering hub in Manila - they specialise in Electrical, Mechanical, Hydraulic, and Fire services across commercial, residential, fit-out, industrial, NPI, and public sector projects.

Their edge? Excellent client service, fast turnaround times, and a value-engineering mindset.

But what truly makes them different is how they operate.
They've built a trust-first culture, where experienced engineers are empowered to lead, not managed to the minute. The Australian team is intentionally lean and senior - focused on design intent, client relationships, mentoring, and QA while the Manila team provides strong technical delivery and documentation support.

It's a model that values flexibility, accountability, and output over presence, giving you space to perform at your best and enjoy a genuine work-life balance.
