Mechanical Design Engineer – Bulk Materials Handling
Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer looking to accelerate your career while enjoying the lifestyle benefits of the Gold Coast? This is an opportunity to join a long-established and highly respected engineering business delivering specialised solutions within the bulk materials handling sector.
This role would suit an engineer with around 3+ years of experience who is looking to move beyond repetitive drafting work and become involved in meaningful engineering projects, product development, and long-term career growth.
Why You Should Apply
* Work and live on the Gold Coast with genuine lifestyle balance
* Join a stable, multi-generational engineering business
* Excellent industry reputation
* World class engineered products
* Flat structure with direct access to leadership and decision-makers
* Genuine career progression opportunities
* Exposure to exciting mining and manufacturing projects
* In house manufacturing and fabrication
About the Company
Our client is a well established Australian engineering company specialising in innovative solutions for bulk materials handling and conveyor systems. The business has built a strong reputation across mining, ports, quarrying, and heavy industry through practical engineering expertise and long-term client relationships.
With a collaborative and hands‐on environment, the company offers engineers the opportunity to contribute directly to projects and product innovation rather than being siloed into narrow roles.
The Opportunity
Working closely with the engineering leadership and fabrication teams you will contribute to the design and development of mechanical systems and engineered products used within bulk materials handling environments.
This is an excellent opportunity for a developing engineer who wants exposure to real‐world projects, product improvement initiatives, and the chance to take ownership of engineering outcomes.
Your responsibilities may include:
* Mechanical design and development of bulk handling equipment
* Detailed engineering documentation
* Producing fabrication drawings
* Working closely with manufacturing and operations teams
* Assisting with project delivery from concept through to production
* Continuous improvement and engineering problem-solving
What We Are Looking For
* Degree qualified Mechanical Engineer
* Full Australian working rights
* Autodesk Inventor experience
* Autodesk Vault experience would be advantageous
* Ideally 3+ years of experience within bulk materials handling, conveyors, mining, or heavy industry
* Experience with mechanical design and 3D CAD systems
* Understanding of engineering first principals
* Strong practical engineering mindset and willingness to learn
Why This Role Stands Out
Many junior engineers struggle to find opportunities that offer both technical growth and genuine mentorship. This role provides direct exposure to senior leadership, hands‐on engineering challenges, and the ability to build a meaningful long‐term career within a highly respected Australian engineering company.
If you are looking to combine strong career development with the Gold Coast lifestyle, this opportunity is well worth exploring.
Apply now or reach out to discuss the role confidentially.
Applicants must already have full Australian working rights, as sponsorship is not available for this position.
