We're currently recruiting for a Senior Commissioning Engineer (or Commissioning Manager level) to join a leading EPC contractor delivering a major Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in South Australia.

This is an excellent chance to work on one of Australia's growing renewable energy projects, with long-term career opportunities beyond project completion.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the National Commissioning Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering the commissioning of a utility-scale BESS and associated high-voltage infrastructure.

You'll be involved across:

- HV substation commissioning
- Protection and control testing
- Balance of Plant (BoP) commissioning
- Supporting OEMs during battery commissioning and hold-point testing
- Working closely with construction, engineering and client teams to safely energise the project

Project Highlights

- Utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
- New 275/33kV substation




- Permanent position with ongoing project opportunities
- 2 weeks on / 1 week off roster
- 10-hour days
- FIFO, DIDO or local options available (East Coast candidates encouraged to apply)

About You We're interested in speaking with Commissioning Engineers or Commissioning Managers who have experience in:

- HV substations (132kV, 275kV or above preferred)
- Protection & Control systems
- Utility, renewable or transmission projects
- Testing, commissioning and energisation activities
- Working with EPC contractors, utilities or OEMs

BESS experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Strong HV commissioning experience is the priority. If you're looking for a long-term opportunity with an excellent project pipeline and want to play a key role in Australia's energy transition, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
