Sydney, New South Wales, Australia UGL Full time

We're revolutionizing the way energy is produced in Australia, are you prepared for a transformation?

HumeLink West Project

Two leading companies, UGL and CPB Contractors under the CIMIC Group umbrella, have been chosen by Transgrid for the execution of the 130km western segment of the HumeLink high voltage electricity transmission initiative.

HumeLink represents a pioneering 500kV transmission venture linking Wagga Wagga, Maragle, and Bannaby in regional NSW, facilitating a substantial boost in the electricity network capacity across Australia's eastern regions. This project stands as one of the country's most extensive energy infrastructure undertakings, entailing approximately 365kms of proposed new transmission lines and various other infrastructure enhancements.

The HumeLink West project, valued at $1.4 billion, involves the establishment of new 500kV double circuit transmission lines covering 130kms from Wagga Wagga Substation to a new Substation at Gugaa, the Interface Point with HumeLink East near Gundagai, and a fresh substation located at Maragle in the Snowy Mountains for future integration with Snowy 2.0.

Please keep in mind that this position will have an initial base in Sydney, transitioning into an on-site delivery role that necessitates FIFO with additional allowances. Local applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
