5+ years of demonstrated engineering experience working on renewable energy projects across a range of technologies and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs),
with experience during construction and commissioning highly regarded.
Electrical engineering or renewable energy related engineering qualification, with a developed knowledge of electrical balance of plant systems (AC and DC), equipment and project interfaces.
Ability to own, plan and complete detailed engineering, technical advisory and design work packages. This can span across technical reviews, site inspections, reports, modelling or calculations and coordinating workshops, gaining technical input and verification as required.
An ability to proactively problem solve, identify discrepancies, and work within agreed client timelines, scopes and budgets independently.
Strong communication skills and ability to confidently coordinate multidisciplinary inputs, as the Generation and Storage team is often required to play an integration role on Owner's Engineering and technical advisory engagements.
Either registered, or working towards professional registration, on the National Engineering Register in Australia (such as RPEV or RPEQ) ideally supported by a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) designation or equivalent international accreditation.
Displays a passion to grow their technical, engineering, and electrical knowledge learning from others, as well as providing hands-on guidance to other engineers.
