Engineering & Technology Jobs

We recruit permanent engineering roles across the resources, water and infrastructure sectors in WA. 

That includes civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and process engineers, along with project, design and geotechnical engineers. 

Our focus is the technical and professional engineering roles that support mining, water and infrastructure projects, rather than trades or site labour.

Most engineering roles in WA need a relevant degree and the right to work in Australia, and getting into resources often comes down to relevant project or discipline experience and a willingness to travel to site. 

Graduates usually start through a graduate program or a design or site support role, then specialise. A specialist recruiter helps because we know which companies are hiring and what they want. Send us your CV and we'll give you an honest read on where you'd fit.

Not always, but it helps and it matters more in some roles than others. Chartered status (CPEng with Engineers Australia) and RPEQ registration are expected or preferred for certain senior, design and certifying roles, while plenty of other roles don't require it.

If you're working towards chartership, that's worth highlighting, because employers value the commitment even before it's finished. We'll tell you whether a specific role actually needs it.

As a rough guide in 2026, graduate engineers in WA typically start around $70,000 to $90,000, experienced engineers commonly sit around $100,000 to $150,000, and senior, principal and engineering management roles run from around $150,000 to $200,000 and beyond. 

Mining and resources roles, and FIFO positions, tend to pay at the higher end, with allowances on top. Pay varies with discipline, sector and experience, so treat these as ballpark and we'll give you a realistic figure for a specific role.

Demand is strongest in the disciplines tied to resources, water and major infrastructure, including civil, structural, process and electrical engineering, along with project and geotechnical engineers. 

There's a broad, long-running shortage of experienced engineers in Australia, and WA's resources and infrastructure pipeline keeps demand high. 

If you've got sought-after experience, you'll usually have options, and the scarcer skills carry a premium.

We specialise. Gather works only in engineering, mining, environment and water across WA, so we understand the disciplines and the employers rather than covering every sector shallowly. 

That means the person handling your application knows the difference between a process engineer and a project engineer, and can talk to you properly about the role instead of matching keywords.

Both, though experienced roles are the bulk of what we do. We work with early-career engineers where employers are open to it, and with experienced engineers throughout their careers. If we can't place you immediately, it's still worth being known to us for when the right role appears.

Not necessarily. Plenty of engineers move into resources from other sectors, and skills from infrastructure, water or construction often transfer well. 

What matters is whether your discipline experience fits the role, and sometimes a willingness to go to site. If you're thinking about moving into resources, ask us and we'll give you a straight view on how well your background would transfer.

Your CV stays with us and only ever goes to an employer once you've agreed to a specific role. 

We don't send your details out without asking, and we don't circulate them around the market. If there's nothing suitable now, we keep you in mind for future roles, and you can ask us to update or remove your details at any time.

Yes. You'll hear back from us either way, including when it's a no. 

Silence after applying is the most common complaint about recruiters, and we don't work like that. If you're in a process with us, we'll keep you posted rather than leaving you guessing.

No. Candidates never pay to work with us. Our clients cover the fee, so there's no cost to send your CV, have a conversation or be put forward for a role. Our job is to find you a role that genuinely fits.
