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