Job Description
Mygration Pty Ltd has been engaged by our client based in Munglinup, WA, 6450 to recruit a skilled candidate for the following position: Mechanical Engineer for a base wage starting at $76,600 - $90,000 per year, depending on skills level + Superauation. Overtime and Penalties are available. Accommodation may be available depending on situation.
About the role:
We are seeking an innovative Mechanical Engineer to join a large-scale, progressive farming enterprise in Western Australia. This role will be pivotal in designing, optimising, and maintaining mechanical systems across a diverse agricultural operation encompassing broadacre cropping, livestock production, and emerging horticultural ventures.
The successful candidate will apply engineering expertise to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and reliability of farming infrastructure, machinery, and processing systems. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a forward-thinking operation that prioritises regenerative practices and long-term land stewardship while expanding into new agricultural sectors.
Key Responsibilities:
Agricultural Systems Design & Optimisation:
• Plan, design, and oversee the implementation of mechanical systems for crop processing, grain handling, irrigation networks, and livestock infrastructure across multiple properties.
• Develop innovative solutions to improve the efficiency of broadacre farming equipment, including seeders, harvesters, and soil preparation machinery.
• Contribute to the design of sustainable infrastructure for emerging horticultural and tree crop operations.
Project Management & Installation Oversight:
• Manage the assembly, erection, and commissioning of mechanical plant installations, ensuring compliance with engineering standards and safety regulations.
• Coordinate project labour, material deliveries, and equipment deployment to meet operational timelines across remote farming locations.
• Establish quality control protocols for mechanical installations and modifications.
Workforce & Equipment Efficiency Analysis:
• Conduct time-motion studies and analyse operational data to optimise labour utilisation and machinery performance.
• Assess facility layouts, material flows, and production schedules to enhance workflow efficiency in grain handling, livestock processing, and storage systems.
• Develop maintenance schedules and reliability programs to minimise downtime of critical farming equipment.
Mechanical Equipment Specification & Development:
• Design and specify components, machinery modifications, and custom solutions to address unique agricultural challenges.
• Select appropriate materials, piping systems, and mechanical configurations for farming infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with external manufacturers and suppliers to ensure equipment meets operational requirements.
Regenerative Farming Integration:
• Engineer systems that align with sustainable farming practices, such as precision agriculture tools, energy-efficient processing equipment, and water-saving irrigation technologies.
• Support the transition toward diversified land use by contributing mechanical expertise to horticultural and agroforestry initiatives.
Essential Requirements:
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 2 years of post-qualification experience in mechanical design, project management, or agricultural systems (experience in farming operations is highly regarded).
• Proficiency in CAD software, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, and mechanical fabrication.
• Strong problem-solving abilities with attention to detail in design and implementation.
• Ability to convey technical concepts to non-engineers, including farm managers and operational staff.
• Self-motivated with the ability to work autonomously in remote locations while collaborating effectively with on-site teams.
Desirable Attributes:
• Experience in agricultural machinery or food processing systems.
• Knowledge of renewable energy applications in farming (e.g., solar-powered irrigation).
• Familiarity with precision agriculture technologies (e.g., GPS-guided machinery, IoT sensors).
Why Apply?
• Play a key role in a large-scale, innovative farming enterprise committed to sustainable growth.
• Diverse projects spanning cropping, livestock, and horticultural expansion—no two days are the same.
• Competitive salary package with opportunities for professional development.
How to Apply:
Submit your resume and a cover letter detailing your relevant experience and interest in agricultural mechanical systems.
