Electrical Engineer - Remote

Let's be transparent upfront:

This is a design role. You'll spend most of your time thinking through a system long before anything reaches site.

If you love the challenge of designing an electrical system, take real pride in your engineering, and want more ownership and opportunity than you have now, you may be exactly who we're looking for.

Why This Role Exists

We're a fast-growing electrical engineering consultancy (having made the AFR Fast Starters list last year) with a strong senior team and bespoke, technically interesting work.

We now need an engineer who can:

- Take a design from concept through to issued drawings and studies, without needing close supervision
- Think wholistically about design-related aspects and constructability early, so problems are solved on paper, not on site
- Occasionally travel to site for engineering/project support
- Be a trusted technical voice for our clients, and hold the line when it matters

This role sits between our engineering leadership and our junior engineers.

What Success Looks Like (12 Months In)

If you're doing this role well:

- You own design packages end to end and the Engineering Manager trusts your output
- Your studies and designs come back from client review with few surprises
- Junior engineers know they can come to you and get a straight answer
- You're on a transparent path to (or already holding) RPEQ and growing into a lead role

What You'll Work On

Design

- Design HV and LV electrical systems
- Run power system studies (for example load flow, fault level, protection coordination)
- Design protection schemes
- Carry out earthing and lightning protection designs
- Produce concept and feasibility studies
- Work on renewable energy integration projects

Client & Site
- Work directly with clients to understand what they need and solve complex problems
- Visit site to review installations against the design intent and give clients assurance

Team





- Work alongside our senior engineers and share what you know with junior engineers
- Contribute to how we do things as the team grows
- Bring your own personality and uniqueness to our dynamic team

Who This Role Is For

You'll likely thrive here if you:

- Have anywhere from 2-6 years' experience in an electrical design-based environment
- Hold a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering
- Are RPEQ registered, or actively working towards it
- Work independently and manage your own workload
- Take pride in your work and respect what your signature means
- Are confident but humble, and a genuine team player
- Are interested in experimenting with Ai tools in the field of engineering

Who This Role Is Not For

This role will frustrate you if:

- You want a site-based construction or logistics role
- You'd rather review and comment on designs than produce them
- You need someone checking your work at every step
- You're after a short stint before your next move

We'd rather be honest now than waste each other's time.

Why This Is a Great Role

- Bespoke engineering challenges, not the same job on repeat
- A wide variety of clients and industries
- Work for major players like Origin and Santos, as well as smaller, nimble clients
- Remote but never distant: a collaborative team that works together well
- Direct access to our founders and senior engineers
- Real room to grow into a lead role

Benefits

- 5 weeks annual leave as standard
- Time off in lieu or paid overtime as standard (get paid for all hours worked)
- Predominantly work from home, with a real emphasis on family coming first
- 4 weeks full pay for parental leave (partner/secondary carer)
- Be part of a rapidly expanding team of innovators
