OCU Group is a global infrastructure and energy services business with more than 5,000 people delivering projects that power communities and support the energy transition.

Our Australian and New Zealand operations are growing fast, bringing together great businesses including All Energy Contracting (AEC), Bam Bam, Pilecom and Volta under one group.

Join Volta Energy Group – Power the Future

At Volta Energy Group, we don’t just talk about impact, we deliver it. Our projects span utility-scale renewables, battery storage, data centres, transmission and distribution infrastructure, and heavy fleet electrification.

With Advisory and Project Delivery under one roof, we span the full lifecycle of energy infrastructure projects – from strategy and feasibility to construction, commissioning and operations. Our clients include major developers, Tier 1 construction firms, leading utilities, just to name a few.

We’re in a period of significant growth as demand for our work continues to grow, and we’re scaling our teams to meet our expanding project pipeline. That means real opportunity to take on landmark projects, broaden your technical expertise, and grow your career alongside a business that’s expanding fast.

About the opportunity

We have two Lead Electrical Design Engineer opportunities available, one specialising in primary design and one in secondary design. Roles can be based in either our Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney offices.

Reporting to the Director, Engineering, you’ll take the lead in developing high-quality electrical designs, calculations, analyses, reports,



and specifications for major infrastructure assets.

You’ll work across a broad spectrum of energy projects – from concept to execution – contributing to solutions that shape Australia’s low-carbon future. This is a role for someone who thrives on technical complexity, fast-paced delivery, and purpose-led work.

What you’ll do

- Deliver electrical design solutions across diverse energy infrastructure projects including high-voltage network transitions, utility-scale battery energy storage systems, and renewable energy integration into existing grids.
- Design and implement energy solutions using current technologies and engineering practices to address technical and commercial challenges in Australia’s energy transition.
- Lead technical analysis and studies to inform project design decisions, grid connection assessments, and engineering solution development.
- Prepare electrical system designs, specifications, and documentation using AutoCAD and power systems analysis software including load flow, fault level, and protection coordination studies.
- Manage project delivery workstreams including planning, execution, and monitoring to ensure projects meet technical requirements, budget constraints, and programme milestones.




- Provide technical input and engineering expertise to support Volta’s business development and operational activities.
- Commitment towards achieving Chartership and Registered Practicing Engineer (Victoria).

About you

You’re a qualified Electrical Engineer with a passion for quality design and a track record of delivering complex engineering projects in the energy or renewables sector. You thrive in collaborative environments, bring strong technical judgement, and are motivated by real-world impact. You’ll also bring:

- A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with CPEng recognition (or working towards) through Engineers Australia
- Minimum 2 years of experience in electrical engineering, preferably across utility-scale renewables or large infrastructure projects
- Sound knowledge of relevant Australian standards (e.g. AS 3000 and AS 2067) and regulatory frameworks
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and industry-standard design and analysis software
- Solid technical capabilities in electrical systems design, implementation, and optimisation
- Demonstrated experience in preparing high-quality technical reports and documentation
- A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a commitment to safety, compliance, and engineering excellence
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with clients, project teams, and stakeholders
- Ability to work both independently as well as within teams.
