CC Pines is looking for an Electrical Project Engineer to join our Sydney team, splitting time between our Oxford Falls and Macquarie Park offices, and supporting the electrical scope on our Darwin project.
You'll be Sydney-based day to day, with travel to site as needed, so you get genuine ownership of a Defence-linked build without needing to relocate.
If you want real design and delivery responsibility on a project that matters, and you've got a good handle on construction, procurement and subcontractor management, keep reading.
About Us
CC Pines is an Australian-owned, family-founded construction company with a 45-year track record of delivering complex, high-risk projects that other contractors won't touch, from embassy builds in Morocco to Defence infrastructure across the Pacific.
We work with the Australian Department of Defence, DFAT, and the US Department of Defence, and we've never had a reportable safety incident.
We're big enough to run world-class projects, small enough that your voice actually gets heard.
Our values, humble, hungry, smart, aren't a poster on the wall.
They're how we pick our people and how we run our projects.
Why This Role?
Sydney based, Territory involvement.
Keep your home base, splitting your time between Oxford Falls and Macquarie Park, while owning the electrical scope on a nationally significant Defence-linked project.
Real ownership.
Design, coordination and delivery are yours to run, with site trips keeping you close to the detail without requiring relocation.
A properly interesting project.
Darwin's Defence and infrastructure pipeline is booming,



and this puts you right in the middle of it.
Travel handled.
Flights, accommodation and travel logistics for your Darwin trips are organised and covered, so you can focus on the work.
Career runway.
Own a standout project without uprooting your life to do it.
A Bit About Darwin
When you're on-site, Darwin brings a genuine change of pace from Sydney, Mindil Beach sunsets, a laid-back Territory rhythm, and a dry season (roughly May to October) with some of the best year-round outdoor conditions in the country.
It also means real face time with the site team and subcontractors, not just a call, so trips are worth planning around rather than just enduring.
Job Description
The Role
As Electrical Project Engineer, you'll take ownership of the electrical design, coordination and delivery for our Darwin project, working closely with the Project Manager and site team to make sure the electrical scope is secure, compliant and delivered on program.
You'll split your time between Sydney-based design and coordination work, and site visits to Darwin to oversee installation, resolve issues, and keep the project moving.
What you'll be doing:
Leading electrical design and engineering for the Darwin project,



from concept through to as-built
Coordinating with the Project Manager, site team and subcontractors to keep electrical works on program and on spec
Managing procurement of electrical materials, equipment and subcontract packages
Reviewing and approving electrical drawings, specifications and contractor submissions
Travelling to site in Darwin as required to inspect works, troubleshoot issues and support commissioning
Identifying risks early and working through practical solutions
Ensuring electrical works meet relevant Australian standards and project compliance requirements
Reporting progress and technical updates to the Project Manager and wider project team
Desired Skills and Experience
What We're Looking For
Degree qualified Electrical Engineer, with experience across design, construction, or a mix of both
Solid construction experience, ideally on commercial, infrastructure or government projects
Procurement experience, comfortable managing materials, equipment and subcontract packages end to end
Subcontractor management experience, including scoping, coordination and performance oversight
Strong problem-solving skills and the flexibility to adapt when site logistics don't go to plan
Solid communication skills, both technical and plain English, for working with a range of stakeholders
Willingness and ability to travel to Darwin as required
Due to the nature of our work, CC Pines can only consider those with current Australian or New Zealand passports.
