• Approximately 7 years' experience within a consulting engineering environment, specifically in building services.

• Experience delivering projects across sectors such as healthcare, defence, commercial, education, industrial or data centres.

• Strong technical understanding of Australian Standards, electrical building services systems and project delivery methodologies.
