Electrical Engineer – Power Systems & Protection
Brisbane | Hybrid & Flexible Working | $110k–$140k + Super (dependent on experience)
A rare opportunity has become available for an ambitious
Electrical Engineer
to become the first permanent engineering hire within a growing specialist power engineering consultancy in Brisbane.
Working directly alongside the Founder, an experienced power systems and protection engineer with more than 20 years' industry experience, you'll receive genuine one-on-one technical mentorship while gaining exposure across power systems, protection engineering, electrical design, technical investigations and advisory work.
This opportunity will suit an engineer who has built a solid technical foundation but doesn't want to become siloed into one discipline. You'll be encouraged to broaden your capability, understand the "why" behind engineering decisions and develop into a genuinely well-rounded engineer.
The Opportunity
The business provides specialist electrical engineering services across
transmission, distribution, renewable energy, BESS, mining, generation, data centres and industrial infrastructure
.
Its work spans three core areas:
Load flow and short-circuit studies
Protection coordination and settings
Engineering calculations and technical reports
Design
Electrical and HV design
Design reviews
Technical documentation
Bespoke engineering solutions
Research & Technical Advisory
Root cause and failure investigations
Technical research
Development of engineering methodologies
Complex technical problem-solving
The Role
You'll work directly with the Founder across project delivery while progressively taking greater ownership of engineering work and client relationships.
Depending on your existing experience, you'll gain exposure to:
Power system modelling and studies
Protection coordination and settings
HV and electrical design
Engineering calculations
Design reviews
Technical investigations




Root cause analysis
Technical reports
Engineering standards and research
Client technical advisory
Projects from design through to delivery and commissioning
You won't be expected to know everything from day one.
The opportunity is specifically designed for an engineer who wants to continue developing across
power systems, protection, design, investigations and technical advisory
under experienced mentorship.
About You
You'll be a degree-qualified Electrical Engineer, ideally with approximately
3–5 years' industry experience

Commissioning and testing
Experience with
PowerFactory, ETAP, SKM, AutoCAD, PSCAD, CDEGS or protection relay software
would be advantageous, but breadth of experience and willingness to learn are equally important.

.
What's On Offer
$110,000–$140,000 + Super
, depending on experience
Genuine hybrid and flexible working
Direct mentorship from an industry expert with 20+ years' experience
Exposure across multiple engineering disciplines—not just one niche
Power systems, protection, design, investigations and advisory work
