Prepare and review SLDs, schematics, cable schedules, specifications, calculations and design packages
Verify MV and LV designs, including transformers, RMUs, switchboards, protection, metering and auxiliary systems
Mentor Project Engineers, drafters and external engineers, and review their work for quality
Lead design workshops, Safety‑in‑Design assessments and constructability reviews
Support FAT, SAT,



commissioning and troubleshooting, including PPC/EMS integration, protection validation and grid‑compliance testing
Manage technical risks and design variations, and make explicit recommendations to the team

What you’ll bring
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
Proven experience delivering electrical or project engineering in power, renewables, BESS, utilities or industrial infrastructure
Solid grounding in protection and control, earthing, cable sizing and switchboard or substation design
Working knowledge of AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 61439 and grid‑connection requirements
Solid Safety in Design and risk‑based decision‑making experience
Excellent technical writing and communication skills

Highly regarded
BESS, solar, microgrid or substation project experience
Exposure to SCADA, PLC, PPC or EMS systems

Why apply?
Senior‑level ownership in one of Australia’s fastest‑growing sectors
Work across the full project lifecycle, from design through to energisation
Collaborate with Projects, Service, Production and Product teams
A supportive, inclusive culture that values diversity and development
