• Supporting installation, testing, commissioning, site acceptance testing, and integrated systems testing activities.

• Partnering with Project Managers to manage technical risks, project outcomes, schedules, budgets, and stakeholder expectations.

• Acting as the primary engineering interface for customers, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders throughout project execution.

• Reviewing engineering designs, technical documentation, equipment selections, and contractor submissions to ensure compliance with customer requirements and Australian Standards.

• Providing technical leadership, mentoring Project Engineers, and promoting engineering best practice, safety, and continuous improvement across the team.

• Supporting the delivery of innovative "One Schneider" solutions across critical power and cooling infrastructure environments.

What we're looking for:

• Degree-qualified Mechanical Engineer or similar.

• 7+ years' experience delivering mechanical infrastructure, mission-critical, data centre, or construction projects.

• Strong technical, commissioning, and project delivery experience within critical cooling and mechanical systems environments.

• Experience with technologies such as chilled water systems, chillers, precision cooling, CRAC/CRAH units, and mechanical services infrastructure.

• Solid understanding of Australian Standards, NCC requirements, and mechanical building services practices.

• Proven ability to manage stakeholders and influence project outcomes across multidisciplinary teams.

• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.

• Experience within hyperscale, colocation, healthcare, utility, industrial, or other mission-critical environments is highly regarded.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead high-profile projects, work with industry-leading cooling and critical infrastructure technologies, and contribute to some of the most important facilities supporting Australia's digital future. If you're passionate about delivering complex projects, developing others, and making a real impact in a fast-growing industry, we'd love to hear from you.
