Job Description

Lead Power Systems Engineer

Want to bring ideas to life?

As an engineer you're no doubt aware of Aurecon - we've been a leading design, engineering and advisory company for decades. But why should you choose to join us?

Every project Aurecon delivers leaves a legacy. Every project has sustainability embedded in decision making. And every project is at the leading-edge of technical eminence.

But it really comes down to one, crucial question: what kind of world do you want to create for the next generation?

Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything - from the local community to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what's next?

As our new Lead Power Systems Engineer, you'll be a vital part of the power systems team who play a pivotal role in the ongoing energy transformation towards a more sustainable and resilient energy landscape.

Your role will include:
  • Mentor and lead junior and mid-level staff to deliver complex technical tasks.
  • Champion high quality delivery, and lead development of new tools and improvements to existing ones.
  • Lead and contribute to winning work within the team's skillset, and for the wider Aurecon group.
  • Support the wider Aurecon team's projects with advice on power systems, electrical and NER related topics.
How will your future be shaped by us?

Joining Aurecon means you'll be at the award-winning edge of innovation and sustainability. AFR ranked us Top 5 among sustainability leaders and Top 3 of all innovative companies in professional services.

One Consult awarded us an innovative design award. Plus, we were Consult Australia's large firm of the year.

You really can bring your whole self to work and be confident your voice will be heard. We don't just claim we're inclusive and innovative, as proven by the independent awards and accreditations we've gained.

We've been recognised for our innovation culture, gender equality and our LGBTI+ inclusion.

Plus, we have a robust Reconciliation Action Plan - our fourth edition since

On a personal level you'll have access to flexible work hours, remote work, working holidays, part-time and job share options.

You'll also have - a learning programme 100% personalised to you and the option to build your technical mastery in the Aurecon Design Academy which earns you a Graduate Certificate in Design Management from the prestigious RMIT University.

Plus, you'll be supported on every step of your career journey with mentoring, learning and our Careers Hub.

Outside of work, you'll be further supported with competitive paid parental leave, cultural public holiday swaps, plus wellbeing support programmes.

What are we looking for from you?

You'll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.

We value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon.

We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life.

As well as experience in a similar engineering role.

Specifically:
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or similar.
  • Hold RPEQ Certification.
  • Comprehensive and demonstrated knowledge of at least 2 out of 3 of PSS/E, PSCAD and PowerFactory.
  • Understanding of the NER S5.2.5 and S5.3 technical requirements.
  • Understanding of the connection process from Connection Enquiry through to commissioning.
  • Demonstrated ability to both read and write Python automation code.
  • Strong understanding of Power System Studies and Power Systems.
  • Demonstrated communication skills both written and verbal.
Think you know Aurecon? You may be surprised.

Aurecon's strength has always been our people. It's our people who build our shared purpose and bring ideas to life.

It's our people who imagine and co-create with our clients a better future for people and the planet. Of course, you'll probably know lots of our award-winning projects.

The new Allianz Stadium in Sydney? That was us. Tāmaki Regeneration in Auckland? That was us too. And the Tseung Kwan O Interchange in Hong Kong? You guessed it, us.

So, when you join us, you'll not only be joining an international design, engineering and advisory company but also a community working together to tackle some of the world's most complex challenges.

Ready to bring ideas to life?

Then please apply. Remember, it's you and how you bring ideas to life which are important.

Your background, unique needs and individuality will be valued.
