James Panteli, a Mechanical & Project Engineer at Soto Consulting Engineers, has been on an incredible journey with us, starting as an undergraduate nearly 7 years ago, and now leading major projects that make a real difference. One of the things James loves most about his role is taking a design from concept through to fabrication and construction, working hands-on with site teams to solve problems and execute complex projects.
Currently, James is a lead engineer on the BlueScope Steel No.6 Blast Furnace relining project, focusing on upgrading the furnace cooling systems and utilities. His responsibilities include understanding engineering standards, building project schedules, managing costs, and overseeing onsite contractors. This project hold significance in ensuring that steelmaking remains strong in Australia, supporting local manufacturers and fabricators.
At SOTO, our engineers don't just design - they take ownership from start to finish, tackling a wide range of challenges that help them grow professionally. For James, working with a multidisciplinary team has made him a more well-rounded engineer, giving him the skills to solve complex technical problems while managing project execution in real time.
If you're ready to take on meaningful projects, work with diverse teams, and grow your engineering career, SOTO could be your next step. Ready to make an impact? Apply now and join a team that's shaping the future of industry.

What I love about this job is taking the front end engineering design, taking it through fabrication and then into construction, working hands on with the the actual site construction team and just being able to see something go from initial concept, problem solving, detailed design through to execution and and commissioning. So that's some of the stuff I'm really enjoying as part of this project. My name is James Panteli. I'm a project engineer and mechanical engineer for solar consulting engineers. I've been with Sotos now for nearly seven years. As an undergrad all the way through to now, it came into sodas as a as a graduate engineer working with the likes of some of the senior team there and then slowly transitioned into more project management execution type roles on some larger projects. We're currently seconded to Bluescope Steel working on the number six blast furnace reline project. My role is lead engineer of the furnace cooling systems and utilities and that's focused on upgrading the existing cooling systems and bringing the utilities back into into working function. Some of the key skills required for addition like this. First of all, he's he's understanding engineering standards and manuals and requirements, as well as the the project space, understanding, you know, building schedules, critical paths, managing cost and as well as managing on site contractors, providing technical advice to them. The significance of this project being completed ensures that that they're still making is maintained in Australia, as well as supporting all the local manufacturers, fabrication shops, coding specialists, all the infrastructure and and businesses that are required to support a still works. So the thing keeps me coming back on this job is. Is first of all the challenges we face as well as the project team that we got working with us as well. So it's a multidisciplinary team as well as seeing the, the conceptual ideas that you've come up with and, and follow through detailed design to, to fabrication, installation and, and through the commissioning, seeing those initial ideas come to life and, and become something functional and, and provide a good outcome for, for blue scope. So the additional skills I've gained through all those roles and responsibilities has helped me become a more well-rounded engineer. Understanding how you can fit the latest and greatest technology in. Amongst an existing brownfield plant is quite challenging. Coming up with a way to to try and fit that working amongst the team is has been really, really satisfying and it keeps me coming back.
