Mechanical Engineer – Field & Installation Engineering

This role sits within the engineering team and supports the company's expansion across Australia and

New Zealand. The Mechanical Engineer splits their time between site work, layout design and

technical data work, and will be the main engineering point of contact for new installations as the

business grows in the region.

Day to day, this means visiting customer sites to check them against engineering and operational

requirements, building layouts in CAD for new installations, and pulling together the technical and site

data needed to work out whether a location will work from an equipment and capacity standpoint.

It's a hands-on engineering role — most decisions come down to engineering judgement, whether

that's on site, at the design stage, or when working through the data behind a new location.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

• Field Engineering & Site Assessment

▪ Assess new and existing sites across Australia and New Zealand to check suitability and

flag any engineering or operational issues.

▪ Carry out site visits for inspections, measurements and technical checks, both before

and during equipment installation.

▪ Troubleshoot technical issues on site during installation and commissioning.

▪ Work alongside contractors, suppliers and site teams to keep installations on spec, on

standard and safe.

• Layout & Installation Engineering

▪ Build technical layouts for new installations in CAD, working through equipment

positioning, workflow and space requirements.

▪ Apply mechanical engineering principles to each layout so it holds up against equipment

specs, safety requirements and operational standards.

▪ Put together the drawings and technical documentation the installation and construction

teams need to do the work.

▪ Go back and rework layouts when something on site doesn't match the original plan.

• Engineering Data Analysis for Site Development

▪ Work through technical, site and operational data to figure out whether a new location

stacks up and put together engineering recommendations off the back of it.

▪ Maintain data models and reporting that the team uses for site capacity planning and

layout standardisation.

▪ Turn technical and site data into recommendations and reports that leadership

can act on.

▪ Feed engineering considerations — layout, capacity, compliance — into feasibility

studies alongside the site and operational data.

• Project & Stakeholder Coordination

▪ Help plan and deliver new site rollouts, keeping engineering and field timelines lined up

with the rest of the team.

▪ Stay in contact with contractors, landlords and local authorities to keep new

installations moving.

▪ Keep leadership updated on the technical status, risks and progress of installation
