- Manage technical interfaces, RFIs, constructability reviews and engineering inputs
- Monitor project costs, productivity, variations and commercial performance
- Manage project risks and support mitigation strategies




- Oversee quality assurance, testing, commissioning and project documentation
- Ensure compliance with safety, environmental and contractual requirements
- Coordinate practical completion and handover activities

About You

- Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering (essential)
- Experience delivering electrical infrastructure, utilities, industrial or construction projects
- Strong understanding of project delivery methodologies and construction practices
- Experience coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and multidisciplinary project teams
- Strong commercial, planning and problem-solving skills
- Commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Eligible for membership with Engineers Australia

What's on Offer

- Contract opportunity with genuine long-term and permanent potential
- Major electrical infrastructure and renewable energy projects
- Attractive earning potential with overtime opportunities
- Living-away-from-home and travel allowances where applicable

If you're an Electrical Project Engineer who enjoys being on site, leading project delivery and working on critical energy infrastructure projects, we'd love to hear from you.
