Build the infrastructure powering Australia's energy future.

RESA Group is a 100% Australian-owned electrical and high-voltage infrastructure delivery business. We take projects from engineering and design through procurement, construction, installation, testing and commissioning — all the way to full EPC delivery — across Renewable Energy, Utilities, Transmission & Distribution, Mining, Resources & Industrial, Data Centres and Critical Infrastructure.

As our project pipeline grows, we're looking for an experienced Electrical Construction Manager to lead the safe, on-time and on-budget delivery of our HV and electrical construction works across solar, wind and BESS projects.

The Role

Reporting to senior management, you'll take ownership of electrical construction delivery on site — leading crews, subcontractors and site supervisors, driving safety and quality, and keeping projects tracking to program and budget. You'll be the link between our engineering/design team and the field, making sure what's on the drawings gets built right.

Key responsibilities:

- Lead and manage electrical construction delivery across HV, solar, wind and BESS projects
- Own site safety leadership — set the standard, drive a zero-harm culture, and ensure compliance with WHS legislation and RESA Group systems
- Plan, sequence and manage construction programs, resources, plant and materials to hit milestones
- Manage site teams, subcontractors and labour — allocation, performance and coordination
- Oversee HV and electrical installation, cable works, terminations, switchgear and connection works to standard




- Coordinate with the engineering, design and commissioning teams through to energisation and handover
- Drive quality assurance, ITP compliance and inspection/test hold points
- Manage site budgets, progress claims, variations and reporting
- Liaise with clients, network operators and stakeholders on site delivery
- Support testing and commissioning activities through to practical completion

- Demonstrated leadership of site crews and subcontractors on complex electrical construction
- Excellent program, budget and stakeholder management skills

- Working knowledge of testing & commissioning processes
