DfMA Project Engineer

Built isn’t waiting for the future. We’re building it.

Built Living is transforming the way Australia delivers medium and high-density residential developments. The future of housing is being rewritten. Built Living is changing how homes are designed, manufactured, built and delivered across Australia.

A joint venture between Built and Wesfarmers, Built Living combines proven development and construction expertise with advanced manufacturing, digital design and a product-led delivery model to create quality homes faster, with greater certainty and at scale.

The business operates across an integrated value chain spanning development, design, advanced manufacturing and design and construct delivery. As Built Living scales nationally, commercial leadership will be critical to protecting value, creating repeatable systems and balancing immediate establishment priorities with the long-term needs of the D&C business.

• Coordinate the release of approved and sufficiently developed information to the Advanced Manufacturing Facility.Maintain a manufacturing readiness tracker covering approved drawings, models, materials, embedded items, finishes, specifications and quality requirements.
• Assist with coordination of prototypes, samples, mock-ups and first-off inspections where required.
• Support alignment between contractual requirements, design specifications, approved technical information and factory quality documentation.
• Identify mismatches between design intent, manufacturing capability and project delivery requirements before production commences.
• Participate in manufacturing planning and readiness meetings.
