The opportunity

Join Schneider Electric’s One Solution Centre and take ownership of complex assigned electrical engineering packages as a technical lead, from tender handover through to technical close out. You will turn customer and regulatory requirements into secure, compliant and buildable LV and MV solutions, then see them progress through design, manufacture, testing, site integration and handover.

Working on critical infrastructure projects across Australia, New Zealand and the wider Pacific, you will solve complex and non-routine design challenges, assess technical risk, maintain traceable engineering evidence and lead customer, supplier and factory technical interfaces. You will coach and review the work of Engineers and guide them on non-routine or escalated issues. Operating independently within policies, quality and compliance standards, you will make decisions on your own work and priorities, guided by documented procedures and technical standards, and have your work reviewed as needed.
You will work within clear delegated authority, seek independent review where required and elevate safety critical, unresolved or high consequence matters through the Project Manager and Technical Leader pathway.

What you will own

- Design the solution. Provide expert technical design and lead the development of coordinated SLDs, schematics, wiring information, equipment schedules, cable and termination data, data sheets, bills of material and calculation notes, setting the technical strategy and selecting appropriate equipment.
- Apply expert engineering judgement. Complete, coordinate and review load assessments, cable sizing, voltage drop, derating, short circuit withstand, earthing inputs,



protection interfaces and auxiliary supply requirements.
- Control requirements and interfaces. Translate and interpret specifications, approved deviations, standards and utility requirements into traceable design outputs, technical queries and interface actions, applying sound interpretation where requirements are not prescriptive.
- Protect configuration integrity. Reconcile and independently review calculations, drawings, equipment data, schedules, revisions and bills of material before issue or release to manufacture.
- Coordinate suppliers and factories. Prepare technical requisitions, review submissions, resolve comments and close package interfaces, leading technical discussions on complex items.
- Manage risk and boundaries. Assess technical risk and identify assumptions, deviations and potential changes early, then escal​ate impacts on safety, compliance, scope, cost, schedule or quality.
- Verify and hand over. Lead or support ITPs, FAT, SAT, commissioning, defect close out, as built records, operation and maintenance inputs and technical handover.
- Coach and review. Coach graduates and project engineers, review their work and provide guidance on non-routine or escalated technical issues.
- Improve how we work. Capture lessons learned and lead practical improvements and develop reusable engineering content.

Technology and projects





Work across new build, brownfield and modernisation projects involving systems up to 33 kV for data centres, utilities, transport, water, resources, healthcare, renewables, battery energy storage, industrial facilities and Defence.

- LV and MV switchgear, switchboards, ring main units and motor control interfaces.
- Kiosk and packaged substations, modular switchrooms and E Houses.
- Transformers, busway, cable systems and termination interfaces.
- Protection, control, metering, SCADA, communications and AC or DC auxiliary systems.

You do not need experience across every product family. Stronge engineering fundamentals, broad technical knowledge, coordinated design delivery and sound judgement matter more than an exact product match. We value curiosity and the ability to learn adjacent technologies.

What you will bring

- A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent qualification recognised for professional engineering practice in Australia.
- Demonstrated experience leading the delivery of complex LV or MV electrical engineering packages in project execution, consulting, manufacturing, systems integration, panel building or electrical contracting.
- The ability to interpret customer specifications, SLDs, schematics, equipment data and technical schedules, and identify gaps, deviations, interfaces and technical risks.
- Working knowledge of applicable standards and utility requirements, including AS/NZS 3000, AS 2067 and relevant IEC 62271 requirements for the assigned scope.
- Experience preparing, reviewing and approving coordinated design documentation for customer approval, procurement or man
