Job Description

Deep in the Snowy Mountains, the Cabramurra Township is undergoing a major electrical infrastructure transformation and you'll be the engineer leading it from Brisbane.

n

This isn't a desk job pushing paper. You'll be at the technical heart of a high-complexity HV/LV upgrade involving underground cabling, advanced substation technology, and critical infrastructure that regional and industrial communities depend on. You'll coordinate directly with on-site teams, drive design decisions, and see your engineering fingerprint on something genuinely significant.

n

If you want a project you'll still be talking about in ten years; this is it.

n

What You'll Be Doing

n

n
- Specifying and procuring HV/LV substations — RMUs, transformers, switchboards, kiosk enclosures
n
- Designing HV and LV cable routes including conduits, pits, submains, and distribution pillars
n
- Leading protection grading and arc flash studies using ETAP
n
- Driving earthing design via SafeGrid analysis
n
- Managing connection agreements and associated studies with the Service Provider
n
- Liaising with surveyors, contractors, and stakeholders to keep delivery on track
n

n

What We're Looking For

n

n
- Degree in Electrical Engineering (or trade-qualified with strong infrastructure project experience)
n
- Proven hands-on experience in HV/LV distribution, substations, and electrical infrastructure delivery
n
- Proficiency in ETAP, SafeGrid, and AutoCAD
n
- Strong grounding in protection systems, fault studies,



and earthing design
n
- A natural collaborator — someone who can lead technical conversations and bring stakeholders with them
n
- PSSE/PSCAD experience is a genuine advantage
n

n
