Job Description

Fire Protection Engineer – Buildings Group – Victoria and South Australia

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.

We believe your career should be a rewarding adventure. You will tackle some of the world’s most complex infrastructure challenges, in an environment that supports your ambitions, where we hold ourselves, and each other, to the highest standards.
