Mechanical Engineer
Genuine listener with collaborative style
“Take the time you need.” It’s something you don’t hear very often these days. And yet it’s exactly this philosophy which has resulted in Tonkin remaining strong and stable during these difficult times. It’s also this philosophy that will enhance your abilities in this role.
As a Mechanical Engineer in our Water team, we’ll encourage you to take the time you need to cultivate highly collaborative relationships. Building trust with clients and colleagues alike, your ability to genuinely listen will complement the technical excellence of our team. While you do have sound technical skills, it’s your ability to take on board the ideas of your clients and your team that make you unique. It’s this flexibility that’s essential.
To be successful, you will have 5 years’ plus experience and come from a water, process industry and/or consulting environment.
Delivering quality solutions, you’ll also look to grow new areas of business, again through quality relationships. And the only time we might give you a tap on the shoulder is when it’s home time. After all, family and downtime are just as important.
If the uniqueness of this role fits you to a tee, then don’t worry if you don’t have a current resume. Just send us an overview of your skills relating to this job.
