Senior Fire Protection Engineer (3445630) Brisbane, Australia
Salary: | AUD135000 - AUD170000 per annum |
Work smarter, not longer – deliver projects with trust, flexibility, and real support.
Why This Role Stands Out
This consultancy is privately owned, mid-sized, and proudly different. Founded just over a decade ago, they’ve grown to 80+ staff across Sydney and Melbourne and Brisbane. They’re trusted across hospitaility, commercial, residential, government and mixed-use sectors, with standout projects including 80 storey built to rent towers, and High rise hotels.
But culture is where they really differentiate. The directors are hands-on and approachable, leading with trust and empathy. They know engineers do their best work when they’re supported, not scrutinised. That’s why working from home isn’t just tolerated – it’s encouraged.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Lead projects end-to-end – own fire services design and delivery across mixed-use, hotels, commercial, and residential sectors
-
Be a trusted advisor – engage directly with clients, solving challenges and building confidence in your expertise
-
Mentor and guide – support intermediate engineers while helping raise the technical bar of the team
-
Work on what matters – thanks to a dedicated offshore BIM team, your focus stays on technical solutions and stakeholder engagement
Is This You?
You’ll enjoy this role if you:
-
Have strong experience across both wet and dry fire systems
-
Bring consultancy or strong contractor background with design/shop drawing know-how
-
Understand and apply Australian fire standards with confidence
-
Want autonomy to deliver without constant HR red tape
-
Ideally hold (or are working toward) RPEQ or QVCC accreditation
What’s In It For You
-
Flexibility first – work from home whenever you need, with trust to deliver your way
-
Supportive leadership – directors with young families who know balance matters
-
Career growth – opportunity to step toward Associate within 1-3 years
-
Competitive salary – circa $130k–$160k+ super, negotiable for the right person
-
Engaging projects – across High-rise, hospitality, residential towers, and more
