At Grid-Link, we’re all about making the energy transition actually happen, not just talking about it.

We’re a specialist engineering consultancy that specialises in delivering comprehensive solutions for integrating energy assets into the grid. Our sweet spot is combining deep technical expertise in power systems, modelling and compliance with real, hands‑on experience in Design, Grid Connection, HV testing, commissioning, and project delivery.

In short, we help get energy projects connected, energised, and moving faster and with less risk.

Our goal is simple: enable a more sustainable, carbon‑free energy future.

About the Role

We’re growing fast and we’re on the lookout for Commissioning Engineers and Commissioning Testers to join the team in Melbourne.

This isn’t just another commissioning role. You’ll be hands‑on across HV substations, both brownfield and greenfield, as well as utility‑scale solar, wind, and BESS projects.

You’ll also get involved earlier in the lifecycle, including upfront engineering, detailed design development, and commissioning planning.

If you like seeing a project through from concept to energisation, you’ll feel right at home.

You’ll be working closely with internal engineers and project teams, as well as clients, TNSPs, OEMs and AEMO.

Based in Melbourne, with site travel across Australia depending on the project.

What You’ll Bring

You don’t need to tick every box, but ideally:

The essentials:

Electrical Engineering degree or Advanced Diploma in Power Systems

Around 3+ years in substation and or renewable commissioning

Solid understanding of power systems, protection and control





VESI authorisations and local experience

The hands‑on stuff:

End‑to‑end commissioning experience on HV substations or renewables

Building commissioning plans, schedules, FAT and SAT reports

Protection testing such as distance, differential and CB management using Omicron or Doble

Primary plant testing including CBs, CTs, CVTs and transformers

SCADA and control systems testing

Testing authorities such as AusNet, Transgrid, ElectraNet or Powerlink

Engineers Australia membership or working towards it

Good understanding of secondary and protection designs

And importantly:

You communicate well, both on‑site and off

You can work across different teams without friction

You write reports that people actually understand

Why Grid-Link?

You’ll work with people who really know their stuff and are happy to share it

You’ll get exposure across the full project lifecycle, not just one slice

A culture that values balance, not burnout

Support for Engineers Australia membership

Health and social initiatives
