About the Opportunity n

We are working with a global power management and energy solutions organisation that operates at the forefront of critical infrastructure and data centre power systems . This business plays a pivotal role in enabling secure, resilient, and future‑ready energy solutions for some of the region’s largest and most complex facilities.

n

As data centre demand accelerates across Australia and New Zealand, they are seeking a Grid Connection Engineer/Manager to establish and strengthen internal capability across AEMO and NSP grid connection requirements . This is a highly visible, technically influential role with strong exposure to senior stakeholders, global R&D; teams, and major enterprise customers.

n

If you enjoy bridging the gap between grid regulations, emerging technologies, and customer‑facing engineering solutions, this role offers both breadth and impact.

The Role n

As Grid Connection Engineer , you will act as a subject matter expert for large data centre grid connections, advising both internal teams and customers on compliance with NEM requirements and network service provider expectations.

n

While this is not a traditional project delivery role, it is technically deep and strategically important—focused on advisory, enablement, pre‑sales support, and technical leadership rather than day‑to‑day modelling delivery.

Key Responsibilities n

n
- Maintain expert knowledge of ANZ grid connection requirements , National Electricity Rules, and emerging regulatory challenges for new large customer connections.
n
- Monitor upcoming regulatory and technology changes and provide risk‑versus‑opportunity analysis to senior management.
n
- Collaborate closely with global R&D; teams on modelling requirements and technical capability related to PSCAD, PSS®E, and PowerFactory.
n
- Assess the grid impacts of emerging technologies including data centres, HVDC, BESS,



and EV infrastructure .
n
- Support pre‑sales and solution design , working with customers to understand business drivers, technical objectives, and grid‑related constraints.
n
- Actively engage with customers to understand pain points and position compliant, value‑driven solutions.
n
- Partner with product management, sales, and commercial teams to contribute to technical proposals, customer content, and solution strategies.
n

About You Experience & Background n

n
- 3+ years’ experience in the energy or utility sector , ideally with exposure to AEMO and/or network service providers .
n
- Strong understanding of grid connection processes and regulatory requirements for large electrical loads.
n
- Familiarity with power system modelling tools such as PSCAD, PSSE or PowerFactory (hands‑on modelling experience advantageous, but not essential).
n
- Tertiary qualifications in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
n

Key Strengths n

n
- Robust stakeholder engagement, relationship management, and communication skills.
n
- Ability to translate complex grid and regulatory concepts into practical, customer‑focused guidance.
n
- Confident working across technical, commercial, and executive audiences.
n
- Interest in emerging energy technologies and large‑scale infrastructure.
n

What’s on Offer n

n
- Competitive salary package with bonus structure.
n
- Supportive, inclusive workplace culture with strong diversity and equity values.
n
- Outstanding professional and personal development programs.
n
- Opportunities to engage with global experts and cutting‑edge R&D; initiatives.
n
- Additional benefits including volunteer days and practical office facilities.
