Cairns City, Queensland, Australia John Holland Full time

About John Holland

We transform lives by finding solutions to complex challenges across infrastructure, property, rail, building, and water projects in Australia, New Zealand, and South-East Asia.

Our focus is on why we do it. We make communities easier to move around, more connected, and better to live in.

About The Project

In partnership with McConnell Dowell (Joint Venture), we're delivering the Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project in Far North Queensland. This innovative project involves converting a disused gold mine into a pumped storage hydroelectric power generation facility.

The project includes converting two existing mine pits into reservoirs. We'll construct significant underground infrastructure, including a large powerhouse cavern and waterway shafts and tunnels. These will allow for the transfer of water between upper and lower reservoirs to generate power during peak periods and return water back to the upper reservoir during off-peak periods.

About The Role

We're seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join our construction delivery team. You'll be initially based in Kidston QLD.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing on-site engineering functions through subordinates
  • Obtaining relevant design parameter information for incorporation into detailed designs and construction specifications
  • Monitoring quality and quantities of incoming equipment and material
  • Coordinating the activities of an engineering team and providing technical guidance to staff

You Will Need

  • Tertiary qualifications in Electrical Engineering
  • Experience in delivering projects from beginning to completion
  • Experience in delivering complex infrastructure projects, including electrical commercial works
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Competitive remuneration with salary continuance and packaging options available. Great leave benefits, including 18 weeks paid parental leave and superannuation. Career progression opportunities underpinned by our exciting pipeline of work. Learning and development opportunities, including emerging talent programs and technical training.
