At Aurecon, we are optimistic about the future. We are thinkers, solvers, and collaborators who work with our clients to deliver the infrastructure and assets that strengthen communities and create a sustainable future.

What you’ll do

As a Fire Protection Engineer in our Buildings team, you’ll play a key role in delivering fire protection designs for building projects across South Australia and Victoria, across a number of markets. Joining a collaborative team of multidisciplinary delivery professionals, you’ll work closely with architects, engineers, subconsultants, clients and internal stakeholders to coordinate high-quality design delivery from planning through to completion.

This role offers the opportunity to work across a strong and stable pipeline of projects while continuing to grow your leadership capability within a nationally recognised consultancy environment. In this role, you will:

• Undertake wet and dry fire protection designs across building projects in compliance with NCC, relevant Australian Standards and Client requirements
• Coordinate your designs with architects, engineering disciplines, subconsultants and local authorities (i.e. Fire Brigade) to achieve integrated project outcomes
• Be part of technical reviews, quality processes and design governance activities
• Conduct site investigations, assessments and project coordination activities related to fire protection
• Collaborate with project teams to manage fire protection design interfaces and delivery outcomes
• Work in markets including defence, data centres, health, education and research

What you’ll bring

• 5–7 years’ experience in fire protection designs for building projects
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary project teams within a consulting environment
• Strong communication capability
• The ability to work collaboratively across project teams
• A proactive and solutions-focused mindset

Eligibility for baseline security clearance is preferred, but not essential given the numerous markets we work across.
