Regenerate Talent is recruiting for a fast-growing renewable energy platform building one of Australia's largest battery storage pipelines.
We're looking for a
Senior Project Engineer
to provide hands‐on engineering support across the full asset lifecycle - from early feasibility and design, through construction and commissioning, and into operations and performance optimisation. You'll work closely with development, delivery, grid, asset management and commercial teams, carrying technical context and design intent across every phase of the project.
This is a rare opportunity to build deep, end-to-end engineering capability inside a growth‐stage platform and shape a repeatable delivery model across a multi‐gigawatt pipeline.
What You'll Do:
Development
Input to feasibility studies, technology selection, and concept/preliminary design (layouts, single‐line diagrams, civil/electrical/connection scope)
Support technical specifications, tender documentation and bid evaluation for EPC, BOP and equipment‐supply packages
Support grid‐connection applications, NSP/AEMO data provision, GPS development and power‐system studies
Contribute technical inputs to investment cases, budgets and technical due diligence
Owner's engineering support - reviewing contractor design submissions, ITPs, method statements and as‐built documentation
Site oversight of FAT/SAT and cold/hot commissioning hold points
Defect and non‐conformance tracking through to close‐out
Support staged energisation, switching/isolation planning, and verification of performance guarantees
Support GPS compliance and hold‐point (R1/R2/R3) testing and model validation
Operations & Asset Performance
Support technical handover to Asset Management and Operations
Investigate and resolve defects, performance shortfalls and availability issues
Analyse operating data (BESS, power conversion systems, power plant controller, SCADA) to identify performance and reliability trends
Support connection‐agreement, metering, DUID, market and FCAS compliance




Feed operational lessons back into design and specification standards
Standards, Grid & HSSE
Help develop and maintain technical standards, design basis documents and templates
Act as a consistent technical point of contact across project phases
Champion HSSE, safety‐in‐design, and switching/isolation discipline
Support NER, AEMO and connection‐agreement compliance
What You'll Bring:
Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Electrical, Power Systems or a related engineering discipline
7-10 years' experience in project, design or commissioning engineering on utility‐scale electrical infrastructure (BESS, solar, wind, substations or generation), including HV works
Experience spanning more than one project phase, with a demonstrated ability to carry technical context across phase boundaries
Working knowledge of the NEM connection process, AEMO registration and GPS compliance under the NER
Experience reviewing contractor design, specifications, ITPs and test documentation, and managing defects/close‐out with EPC and BOP contractors
Sound understanding of BESS systems - power conversion systems, power plant controllers, SCADA, controls and software integration
Robust commitment to electrical safety and HSSE, with relevant safety/switching competencies
Willingness to travel to project sites across NEM states
CPEng and/or NER registration, state‐based electrical licence or HV switching qualifications
Experience with power‐system studies/model validation tools (PSS E, PSCAD, PowerFactory, PSS SINCAL)
Direct BESS development, commissioning or operations experience, including GPS hold‐point testing
Experience across multiple concurrent projects or a multi‐gigawatt pipeline, spanning both utility‐scale and distributed assets
Prime Sydney CBD location with hybrid and flexible working
Competitive remuneration and performance‐linked bonus potential
Genuine growth opportunities within an international, dynamic organisation
The chance to shape engineering standards and delivery practice across a multi‐gigawatt renewable energy pipeline
