Industrial Engineer / Product Development Engineer – Construction Hoarding System
Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD
Industrial Engineer / Product Development Engineer – Construction Hoarding System
We are seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer / Product Development Engineer to assist in the development of an innovative modular construction hoarding system intended for patenting, commercial manufacturing, and hire/sale within the construction industry.
The concept is aimed at improving current temporary fencing and hoarding systems through enhanced structural performance, modularity, installation efficiency, transportability, safety, and commercial scalability.
Scope of Works
The successful freelancer will work closely with our team to:
Develop and refine product concepts and design ideas
Assist with industrial/product engineering of a modular hoarding system
Produce preliminary concept sketches and engineering layouts
Develop manufacturable and scalable design solutions
Review structural practicality, assembly methods, and transport/storage efficiency
Consider wind loading, temporary works requirements, and compliance pathways
Assist with material selection and fabrication methods
Develop concepts suitable for patent application and intellectual property protection
Provide input into prototype development and commercial production strategies
Collaborate on cost-effective manufacturing and deployment methods
Desired Experience
Applicants should ideally have experience in one or more of the following:
Industrial engineering
Product development
Structural or mechanical design
Temporary works systems
Modular construction products
Construction equipment or temporary fencing/hoarding systems
Manufacturing and fabrication processes
CAD modelling and prototyping
Experience with Australian Standards relating to temporary structures or construction systems is highly desirable.
Software Skills
Preferred software experience includes:
SolidWorks
Inventor
Fusion 360
AutoCAD
Revit
Finite element or structural analysis tools (advantageous)
Deliverables
The initial engagement may include:
Concept development
Preliminary CAD models
Design review workshops
Prototype recommendations
Manufacturing concepts
Patent-supporting design documentation
Further ongoing work may be available for:
Prototype development
Testing
Structural optimisation
Commercial rollout
Additional Notes
Confidentiality and IP protection agreements will be required.
Preference will be given to applicants with innovative thinking and practical construction industry experience.
This project has strong commercialisation potential and may evolve into a long-term collaboration.
Please provide:
Relevant experience
Portfolio/examples of similar work
Software capabilities
Estimated hourly or fixed rates
Availability and location
