**Role Overview**:
Our client in Gold Coast is looking for a driven and self-sufficient Senior/Associate Fire Engineer to join their expanding team. If you are already present in Gold Coast, you must be aware of its incredible lifestyle.

For those considering a move, Gold Coast stands as one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions, drawing new businesses and development, and is just over an hour from Queensland’s capital, Brisbane. It will also host the 2032 Olympics and offers a remarkably stable climate.

Our client is a small-medium sized fire consulting firm that has been around for over 20 years, providing a broad array of project opportunities across various building types and sizes.

– Liaising with other consultants e.g architects, certifiers and services engineers;
– Supervision and mentoring of junior engineers;
– Develop fee proposals & build strong client relationships;
– Meeting with the fire brigade and advocating performance solutions;
– Using and sensibility checking computer program use including FDS, CFAST and Firewind;
– Reviewing reports to company quality standards;
– Completing at least 50 hours of continuing professional development annually, including attending seminars, mentoring engineers etc.
– Addressing administrative tasks and contributing to the team and company’s goals by proactively solving challenges.

**Qualifications required**:

– Bachelor’s degree in engineering or science with postgraduate studies in fire engineering to professional level recognized by state and federal accreditation bodies;
– 5-6+ years experience in fire engineering;
