  • Conduct fault studies using industry-standard software to ensure optimal system performance.
  • Lead teams of engineers on larger work packages, providing mentorship and training to junior staff.

Strong project management capabilities, organisational skills, and the ability to think creatively to solve complex problems are also required.

Your proven ability to manage stakeholder relationships effectively, combined with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, enables you to articulate complex technical issues clearly to both internal and external stakeholders. Results-oriented, you possess a robust technical foundation in transmission, distribution, or rail traction power systems and significant experience in managing project delivery.
