our next chapter starts here
You've built your career on technical excellence, strong client relationships and leading by example. Now you're ready to step into a role where you can shape a business, not just projects.
This is your opportunity to take the reins of a respected building services consultancy's WA operations - leading a talented local team, supported by a technically strong Manila hub, and backed by established systems, clients and national leadership.
We're a boutique building services consultancy operating across Electrical, Mechanical, Hydraulic and Fire services, with teams in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Manila. Known for smart, value-driven engineering and genuine flexibility, they're building something special - and WA is a major part of that growth story.
What you'll be doing
You'll take full ownership of the WA business - leading people, projects and performance while continuing to be hands-on with clients and design.
Lead and mentor the WA and Manila teams, driving quality, collaboration and technical excellence.
Own the P&L and growth strategy for WA, with autonomy to shape direction and delivery.
Strengthen client relationships and build new ones across the local market.
Recruit and develop your own team, creating a culture built on accountability and trust.
Collaborate nationally, contributing to a unified approach across Sydney and Melbourne.
Deliver diverse projects spanning multi-residential, education, health, industrial and fit-out sectors.
Hybrid working model, with flexibility and plans for a new CBD office space in 2026.
This is a genuine leadership opportunity with the freedom to run WA your way - backed by a supportive owner who wants to see you succeed and share in that success.
Who this is perfect for
You're an experienced Building Services Engineer, Electrical or Mechanical (ideally) ready for the next step.
You've managed teams, led projects and built trust with clients, and you want to lead at a state level.
You'll thrive here if you:
Have a strong technical background and high standards for quality and delivery.
Build lasting relationships through communication, integrity and reliability.
Enjoy developing people and seeing teams perform at their best.
Have solid knowledge of the WA market and want to make your mark as a local leader.
Value autonomy, ownership and flexibility - and want a role that recognises your contribution.
What's in it for you
$220k-$250k + super + bonus, depending on experience and impact.
Profit share / equity pathway, with scope for ownership down the line.
Bi-annual dividends based on business performance.
Freedom with support - national brand, strong systems, and a proven delivery model.
Hybrid and flexible working, built on trust and accountability.
Direct access to the owner - someone who values collaboration and invests in people.
Genuine career progression, with opportunities to influence across other states as the business expands.
