  • Collaboration and Standards: Coordinate protection schemes with external partners, including TransGrid and power authorities. Evaluate generator connections and contribute to the evolution of internal protection standards aligned with industry regulations.
  • Strategic Protection Planning: Manage protection settings in line with ISO support network planning projects, focusing on innovative, cost-effective protection solutions that enable DER integration and microgrid resilience.
  • Safety and Culture Champion: Mentor colleagues, uphold our values, and actively promote a strong safety culture and strategic direction within the System Operations branch.

Benefits:

  • Be part of a culture that prioritizes care and performance; care for each other and our customers
  • Pursue opportunities to step up and lead in a rapidly evolving sector
  • Feel recognised and rewarded for your contributions
  • Take pride in working for an organisation that provides essential services and supports the energy transition
  • Access to training, personal development, and career progression

About You:

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering
  • C Class Vehicle Licence (up to 4.5 tonnes GVM)
