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
