Engineering Firms »

Want to understand which companies and firms dominant the market? or maybe which mining giants have the best engineering departments? just out of Uni and looking for a graduate position? or maybe just some general but important knowledge about the world of engineering?

This website was created by engineers for engineers after we searched the web for a genuine source of information but noticed there wasn’t a comprehensive list of all the engineering companies so in this website it is provided for free.

You would think that the majority of employees in an engineering company would be engineers but think again as there are a wide variety of opportunities in an engineering company. Other positions available are Management, IT, Procurement, Administrative, Safety, Risk, Designers and many more based on the speciality of the particular company.

List of top Engineering companies and firms

We broken down the list into the various industries of engineering companies ,firms or companies that a have a major engineering department.
Industries:

What is better? contact a recruiter or the HR department of the company?

Did you know a recruiting agency might charge for an Engineer as high as $15,000, if you contact the engineering company directly, there is a good chance you will be offered a higher salary not to mention the reduce hassle dealing with recruiters.

You can use the lists to apply for engineering jobs directly to your future employee or to learn about the engineering market in Australia. Before applying for a position, make sure your resume / CV is up to Australian standards.

Professional engineers have a large variety of options therefore in order to make it easier for I divided the list to:

Civil engineering

Civil engineering is concerned with the design, construction, maintenance and the operation of infrastructure such as highways and railways, buildings and structures of all kinds, transport and traffic systems, Harbour facilities for transportation, power generation facilities including renewable energy and water and wastewater treatment plants and distribution systems.

Civil engineer might work in any one of these sectors:

Private industry
Government
Construction and mining
Marine and resort developments
Property and land development
Consultants

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is about turning energy into motion and power. It covers the generation, conversion, transmission and use of mechanical and thermal energy, and includes the design, construction and operation of devices and systems. Mechanical engineers work on power plants, renewable energy systems, electrical generators, robots, propulsion systems, computer systems, climate control systems, engine cooling, respiratory and air conditioning systems, aircraft engines and cars.

Mechanical engineers may work in the following industries:

Petrochemical
Manufacturing
Transportation
Aerospace
Electronic
Mining
Robotics
Consultants
Power Generation
Automotive Manufacturing

Mechanical building services
Aeronautical laboratories
Defence technology
Food processing
Public utilities (electricity, water supply)
Maritime Industry

Electrical and Electronics

As an electrical and computer systems engineer you could work in a wide range of industries such as power generation, Industrial and power electronics, Automation systems, Computer programming, Robotics, water and energy.

This branch of engineering covers many specialist roles:

Automation and control engineers design, build and operate the automatic systems that control our water supply, chemical plants, oil refineries, medical equipment, factories, mines and traffic control systems.

Electronics engineers design, develop, and manufacture computers, integrated circuits, navigation systems, pollution monitoring instruments and broadcasting equipment.

Power generation and distribution engineers provide a reliable and safe electricity supply network for our everyday needs. They design power systems for aircraft and spacecraft and design and build solar panels and wind-powered generators.

Robotics engineers design and program systems that perform functions associated with human intelligence such as voice recognition.

Telecommunications, communications and signal processing engineers design systems and equipment to make information transmission systems faster, more accurate, more reliable and efficient.

As an electrical and you could work in a wide range of industries including:

Mining
Consultants
Power generation
Industrial and power electronics
Automation systems
Robotics
Water and energy

Computer systems engineering

Computer systems engineers analyse, design, develop, and manufacture all kinds of digital products. Examples include laptops, personal computers, mainframes, supercomputers, virtual-reality systems, video games, modems, cars, and appliances.

Industrial (Product) Design and Engineering

Industrial product design engineers provide services to the cars, mobile phones, lighting, furniture, medical equipment and even the hair dryers industries. Some place a greater emphasis on the engineering aspects, with a focus on noise and vibration control, the exploitation of high performance composite materials or improved energy use in a new product or system. Others may concentrate on their industrial design strengths and develop architectural products, control interfaces for complex machinery, corporate image concepts or plastics and other mass-production technologies.

Environmental Engineering

Environmental problems exist in all countries and industries so your opportunities are broad and far reaching. You might work in air pollution control, water supply, land management, impact assessment, hazardous waste management, energy production, storm water and wastewater management, environmental management systems – and so much more.

Organisations employing environmental engineers include:

Engineering consulting firms
Industries that need cleaner production systems
Private and municipal agencies that supply drinking water and treat wastewater
Companies treating and disposing of carbon emissions and hazardous waste
Government agencies monitoring and regulating environmental issues
Universities that teach and conduct sustainability research
International agencies that aid developing nations.

Materials engineering

Materials engineering is all about making new materials and improving existing ones. It is about making things stronger, lighter and more functional, sustainable and cost-effective. The expertise of materials engineers is needed includes Recycling and energy conservation, New biomaterials to image disease and heal the body, Lightweight metal alloys in cars to conserve energy, Materials for energy storage such as fuel cells and Functional nanomaterials. Materials engineers also work as metallurgists, plastics engineers, process and quality control engineers and corrosion or fracture engineers.
