Are you a driven Mechanical Engineer ready to step into leadership? A respected engineering consultancy with  multiple offices across Queensland  is seeking a technically strong and people-focused  Senior Mechanical Engineer  for their  Mackay office. This opportunity has arisen due to an  internal transfer, creating room for a new leader to join their close-knit team. If you're looking to progress into a  Principal Engineer  role, this is a chance to take that next step—with mentorship, project leadership, and people management responsibilities on offer.
  
What we’re looking for:
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical or similar)
  • RPEQ (or nearing registration)
  • 7+ years of engineering experience in Mining, mineral processing, or heavy industrial plants
  • Strong consulting background with Design experience
  • Reporting, scopes of work, and ideally some job management
  • Strong technical and hands-on problem-solving skills
  • Genuine interest in  mentoring and team leadership
  • A confident communicator who builds trusted relationships with clients and stakeholders
  • Comfortable working on  brownfields and maintenance-focused projects
  
What’s on offer:
  • Full-time permanent role  – 38 hours/week + paid additional hours
  • Projects with real impact across small to medium-sized clients
  • Clear pathway to  Principal Engineer  level with team management responsibilities
  • Flexible work arrangements  are considered for the right candidate
  
Why this role?
This is a  growth-focused role  aimed at building senior leadership capability within the team. It's ideal for an experienced Engineer ready to step up, guide junior engineers, and play a key role in a people-first, delivery-focused consultancy. If you're seeking career progression without the red tape of a larger firm, this could be the perfect move.
