OUR CLIENT

Vivid Recruitment is partnering with one of the world's leading engineering and professional services firms — a globally recognised, tier 1 consultancy operating across more than 40 countries with tens of thousands of staff worldwide. In Australia, they have a well-established presence across every major city and a reputation for delivering technically complex, high-profile projects across multiple sectors.

This is a business that offers genuine scale — large project pipelines, deep technical resources, and real pathways for career development. Their ICT and telecommunications practice is growing, and they're looking for a Senior ICT / Telecommunications Engineer to take ownership of project delivery and help drive that growth.

THE ROLE

This is a senior-level position for an engineer who's ready to lead. You'll be working across a diverse mix of sectors — commercial property, transport infrastructure, and data centres — with the autonomy to drive projects and the support of a technically sharp team behind you.
You won't be managing up constantly. You'll be trusted to run your own projects, lead documentation, liaise directly with clients and stakeholders, and contribute to growing the ICT capability of the business.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the design and delivery of ICT and telecommunications systems across a range of project types and sectors
  • Prepare detailed documentation, specifications, and reports to a high standard
  • Manage client relationships and coordinate across multidisciplinary project teams
  • Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers and drafters
  • Ensure compliance with relevant Australian standards, codes, and quality systems
  • Contribute to fee proposals, bids, and business development opportunities
  • Operate with a high degree of independence while knowing when to escalate
ABOUT YOU

You're an experienced ICT or telecommunications engineer with a background in the property and buildings sector. You've worked on complex projects, you know how to lead without being prompted, and you're either RCDD accredited or actively working towards it.
  • Minimum 5 years' experience in ICT / telecommunications engineering
  • Strong background in the property and buildings sector
  • Proven experience across transport infrastructure and/or data centres
  • Currently operating at Engineer or Senior Engineer level
  • RCDD accreditation preferred, or demonstrated commitment to achieving it
  • Demonstrated project leadership — able to run projects independently
  • Strong documentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • Familiarity with relevant Australian standards and codes
Please note: we are specifically seeking candidates with a property and buildings background. Experience from mining, OSP, or carrier environments is not suitable for this role.
THE PERKS
  • Genuinely flexible location — open to candidates anywhere in Australia
  • Diverse project portfolio spanning property, transport, and data centres
  • National consultancy with an international reach
  • Collaborative, technically strong team culture
  • Clear pathway for career progression
  • Competitive salary package + professional development support
  • Flexible work arrangements
