Primary Engineer – Transmission (m/f/d)

Southbank, Melbourne (Hybrid) | Permanent | Up to 500kV

My client is a major energy infrastructure provider at the forefront of Australia's clean energy future. We're the link between renewable and local communities, enabling the energy transition and powering every Victorian home and business.

As part of our Transmission Project Development Team, we're now hiring a Primary Engineer to lead front-end substation and transmission line design – from early scoping to constructability and handover.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Deliver robust technical solutions for substation and transmission line projects (up to 500kV)

  • Ensure compliance with AusNet's engineering standards and customer requirements

  • Drive innovation and process improvement across design methods and technical reviews

  • Collaborate with AEMO, DBs, and external partners to ensure engineering excellence

  • Support project scoping, cost estimating, scheduling and stakeholder engagement

  • Lead on safety, sustainability, and constructability reviews throughout project lifecycles

  • Help mitigate technical risk by resolving complex engineering challenges early in design

What We're Looking For

You don't need to tick every box — but we're seeking a strong mix of:

  • Tertiary qualification in Electrical Engineering

  • 3+ years' experience in utilities or HV design (up to 500kV)

  • Strong substation and primary electrical engineering skills

  • Familiarity with Victoria's regulatory and energy market landscape

  • Confident problem-solver with the ability to work cross-functionally

  • Strong communicator and relationship-builder with internal and external stakeholders

  • A valid Victorian Driver's Licence

Why Join?

  • Purpose-driven role shaping Victoria's energy infrastructure
  • Hybrid and flexible work options to support work-life balance
  • 14 weeks paid parental leave (no minimum service)
  • One paid day per year to volunteer with Foodbank or a cause you choose
  • Purchased leave, salary packaging, insurance, and health cover discounts
