The Opportunity

Brunel is partnering with a well-established, rapidly growing renewable energy developer and investor to recruit a Power Systems Engineer for its Brisbane team.

With a substantial portfolio of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects already operating across Australia, alongside a significant pipeline of projects progressing through development and construction, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in Australia's energy transition.

Working within a team-oriented, technically capable engineering team, you'll be involved in grid connection, power systems modelling and technical assessments across the full project lifecycle.

This position offers genuine technical ownership, exposure to complex renewable energy projects and the opportunity to work directly with key industry stakeholders, including AEMO, Network Service Providers (NSPs) and equipment manufacturers.

Key Responsibilities

- Prepare, manage and review R0 and R1 grid connection packages.
- Undertake power systems modelling and technical studies using PSS®E and PSCAD.
- Support Generator Performance Standards (GPS) negotiations and compliance with the National Electricity Rules.
- Work closely with AEMO, NSPs, OEMs and external engineering consultants to progress grid connection approvals.
- Conduct network constraint assessments, load flow studies and feasibility assessments for new renewable energy developments.
- Review technical modelling reports and provide engineering input across project development, construction and operations.
- Support grid integration and performance optimisation of utility-scale solar PV and BESS projects.
- Contribute to technical problem-solving across emerging technologies, including grid-forming batteries.

About You





We're interested in speaking with Power Systems Engineers who have experience in the Australian electricity market and are looking to take greater ownership of technically challenging projects.

Ideally, you'll bring:

- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering or a related discipline.
- At least 3 years' relevant Australian industry experience.
- Practical experience with PSS®E and PSCAD modelling.
- Knowledge of Australian grid connection processes, GPS requirements and the National Electricity Rules.
- Experience preparing or reviewing R0/R1 grid connection packages.
- Exposure to utility-scale renewable energy, battery storage or electricity transmission projects.
- Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills.
- The ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative engineering team.

Experience with grid-forming batteries, hybrid renewable energy systems or CIS/LTESA submissions would be highly regarded.

We also welcome applications from experienced Senior Power Systems Engineers seeking broader project exposure and technical responsibility.

What's on Offer?

- Join an established renewable energy developer with a significant Australian project pipeline.
- Work across large-scale solar and battery storage developments.
- Gain exposure to projects from early feasibility through to commissioning and operations.
- Be part of a close-knit, multidisciplinary team with direct access to technical and commercial decision-makers.
- Opportunity to influence technical outcomes and develop your career as the business continues to grow.
- Competitive remuneration package commensurate with experience.
