About the role

Based in Camberwell, the Renewable Energy Design Engineer provides technical engineering support across the lifecycle of utility-scale renewable energy projects, with a focus on solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) developments. You will contribute to planning, design optimisation, technical due diligence, procurement, project delivery and operational performance by providing sound engineering advice, robust technical analysis and practical solutions. Working with internal teams and external stakeholders, you will help deliver technically robust, commercially viable, safe, compliant and high-performing renewable energy projects.

Key responsibilities

- Provide technical engineering support across the development, design, procurement, delivery and operational phases of utility-scale solar and BESS projects.

- Prepare and review solar and BESS layouts, supporting site design optimisation, constructability, performance and commercial outcomes.

- Conduct or support energy yield assessments, performance modelling and technical analysis for project feasibility, investment decisions and project financing.

- Prepare technical and engineering inputs for planning, environmental, development and grid-related approvals.

- Prepare clear and accurate technical documentation, reports, drawings, design inputs and engineering recommendations.

- Support tender processes through the preparation of technical requirements, tender reviews, technical clarifications and contractor or original equipment manufacturer evaluations.

- Contribute to technical due diligence for project development, financing, acquisition and delivery activities.





- Assess renewable energy technologies, equipment and design options to support fit-for-purpose, compliant and commercially sound outcomes.

- Monitor and assess technical performance data, identifying risks, issues and opportunities for design improvement or operational optimisation.

- Coordinate with consultants, contractors, equipment suppliers, network providers and other technical stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

- Participate in site visits, inspections and technical reviews to support project development, construction quality and operational performance.

- Ensure engineering activities comply with relevant legislation, Australian Standards, internal requirements and project-specific obligations.

- Collaborate with project managers, engineers, commercial teams and other stakeholders to resolve technical issues and support successful project outcomes.

- Maintain current knowledge of industry developments, emerging technologies, market trends and regulatory changes relevant to renewable energy projects in Australia.

What we're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Renewable Energy, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

- Experience in renewable energy engineering, project development, design,



construction support or operations within the energy or infrastructure sector.

- Experience with utility-scale solar energy projects.

- Exposure to BESS projects, systems or technologies is desirable.

- Experience preparing or supporting layout design, technical analysis and engineering inputs for renewable energy projects.

- Knowledge of energy yield modelling, performance analysis and relevant engineering software or industry tools.

- Familiarity with renewable energy plant design principles, including electrical infrastructure, equipment selection and project interfaces.

- Understanding of Australian Standards, regulatory requirements and grid connection considerations relevant to renewable energy projects.

- Ability to prepare technical documentation, interpret engineering data and provide practical recommendations.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical information clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Ability to work collaboratively and adapt to evolving project requirements.
