Senior Electrical Engineer

At the Department for
Infrastructure and Transport, we are connecting South Australia to

We are responsible for delivering a
multi-billion-dollar pipeline of transformative transport and
social infrastructure projects, operating and maintaining thousands

transport network.

Our work
encompasses every part of our State; from our cities to our
regions, connecting and strengthening community.
We value diversity and
inclusion and foster an environment of collaboration, flexibility,
and support for our people.

The Opportunity
As a Senior
Electrical Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of designing
and delivering the systems that keep South Australia moving safely

From road lighting and traffic signals to
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and tunnel or bridge controls,
you'll provide specialist advice and technical expertise that
ensures our infrastructure is reliable, sustainable, and
future-focused.
Reporting to the Principal Electrical Engineer, you'll play a
key role in shaping standards, applying best practice, and staying
ahead of emerging technologies.
Your work will influence projects
across the state, helping to deliver smarter, safer, and more
connected transport solutions.
This is a role where your expertise will make a real difference.
You'll collaborate with teams across the Department, share
your knowledge to guide successful project delivery, and contribute
to building infrastructure that communities depend on every
day.
About You
You're a
technically skilled and strategically minded engineer who brings
both deep discipline knowledge and a practical understanding of the
challenges in delivering complex infrastructure.
You stay across
industry issues, risks, and emerging trends, and you know how to
apply this awareness to create solutions that are safe, efficient,
and future-focused.
You have experience leading
and motivating technical teams, building a collaborative culture
where people perform at their best.
With strong project management
skills, you're confident in coordinating resources, managing
risks, and keeping projects on track.
Equally, you're customer-focused and an effective
communicator, able to engage with stakeholders, resolve complex

sense to different audiences.
Above all, you're committed to
delivering high-quality outcomes that support South
