About this role

You’ll work closely with clients across Transmission & Distribution, Generation, Renewables, Transport and Defence.
Working with a dynamic team and an ambitious growth plan, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:
- Utilising your expertise across substations, transmission lines, underground cables and power system on projects up to and including 500kV
- Leading and coordinating design projects with various disciplines including: electrical, civil, structural, primary, secondary, SCADA, and Power Systems on renewable energy projects
- Developing and reviewing technical documentation such as design reports, equipment specifications, cable schedules, and interface documents, with the support of our Technical Director Engineers
- Supporting business growth by contributing to proposals, developing client relationships and identifying opportunities to deliver value in the energy transition and infrastructure decarbonisation space.
What you will bring to the team:
- A bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, coupled with 8+ years of experience.
- Experience delivering complex HV engineering projects within the Australian utilities or consulting sector, with strong capability in HV design and construction in renewable projects.
- Demonstrated ability to lead and guide others — providing technical direction, mentoring junior engineers and driving high‑quality outcomes across protection and secondary systems packages.
- Client-facing experience is a plus, but not essential.
- Proficiency in proposal and report writing, as well as familiarity with testing and commissioning support activities, is expected.
