Job Description: Senior Electrical Designer (3D Modelling)
Role Purpose
The
Senior Electrical Designer (3D Modeller)
plays a critical role in translating complex conceptual designs into high-quality, constructible 3D models and detailed engineering drawings.
Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will design heavy industrial electrical infrastructure, power systems, and instrumentation layouts for large-scale global projects.
Key Responsibilities
3D Modelling & Asset Design:
Develop accurate, interference-free 3D models of electrical and instrumentation systems including cable trays, substations, switchrooms, lighting, and earthing networks.
Drawing Deliverables:
Generate detailed engineering deliverables such as general arrangements, layout drawings, cable routing diagrams, single-line diagrams (SLDs), termination schedules, and schematic diagrams.
Design Coordination:
Collaborate closely with structural, mechanical, and piping designers to resolve 3D model clashes and ensure a seamless, integrated design.
Compliance & Quality Assurance:
Ensure all designs comply with relevant engineering standards (e.g., Australian Standards), safety regulations, and project-specific client specifications.
Design Reviews:
Participate in and lead model reviews with internal engineering teams and external project stakeholders.
Mentorship:




Provide guidance, technical support, and drafting checks for junior and intermediate designer team members.
Technical Skills & Qualifications
Education:
Advanced Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Associate Degree, or equivalent technical qualification/trade background.
3D Software Expertise:
Advanced proficiency in
MicroStation 3D
or AutoCAD 3D is highly essential.
Experience with OpenBuildings, ProStructures, or Smart 3D is a distinct advantage.
Industry Experience:
Minimum of 5–8+ years of design experience within the heavy industrial sector, specifically focusing on
mining, mineral processing, or materials handling
projects.
Technical Knowledge:
Deep understanding of industrial plant layouts, electrical equipment positioning, cable management design, and vendor data extraction.
Standards Awareness:
Working knowledge of regional electrical standards (such as
AS/NZS ****
) and industrial safety standards.
Soft Skills & Attributes
Strong spatial awareness and a sharp eye for design detail.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills to articulate design concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
A cooperative mindset with the ability to manage competing priorities under tight project deadlines.
