Electrical, Controls

About Leicon Notley:

Leicon Notley is a proudly family-owned company with over 38 years of experience delivering complex water infrastructure projects across Western Australia. Renowned for our technical capability and strong industry relationships, we continue to grow as a leader in the design and construction of multidiscipline, predominantly brownfields projects.

As part of our expansion, we are looking for a skilled and driven professional to oversee and support the electrical, instrumentation, controls and commissioning aspects of our infrastructure works.

About the Role:

Reporting directly to the General Manager, this senior role will be responsible for managing electrical and control systems design, installation, testing, commissioning and documentation across a range of water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

You'll work closely with our internal engineering teams, project managers and subcontractors to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high technical standard.

Leicon Notley is supported by LEC, our in-house electrical and controls division, highly regarded for its technical capability and quality manufacturing of switchboards and panels. While LEC provides specialist services, much of the on-site electrical work on Leicon Notley projects is delivered by external subcontractors under our management.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the electrical and control system components of multidiscipline projects from design through to commissioning.
• Collaborate with project managers, internal teams and subcontractors to ensure seamless integration across disciplines.
• Liaise with client engineering and commissioning representatives.
• Review and contribute to subcontract documentation and supplier management.
• Provide detailed design input where required, based on preliminary concepts.
• Plan and manage electrical shutdowns and interface works.
• Lead commissioning and final handover activities for project completion.
• Support tender preparation and contribute technical insights as needed.
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality and engineering standards.

What We're Looking For

Essential Criteria:

• 5+ years' experience in electrical and/or controls project engineering.
• Solid understanding of both electrical systems and automation/control systems.
• Proven experience with shutdowns, commissioning and on-site coordination.
• Strong communication, documentation and problem-solving skills.
• A collaborative and adaptable mindset.

Qualifications:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Experienced tradespersons and technicians in electrical or instrumentation are also encouraged to apply.

Desirable Skills & Experience:

• Hands-on experience managing electrical and controls subcontractors.
• Previous exposure to water infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with electrical construction, testing and commissioning practices.
• Knowledge of AS3000 and relevant safety requirements.
• Experience with Siemens and Schneider PLCs, ClearSCADA and related systems.
• Understanding of VSDs, backup generators, solar PV systems and power distribution.
• Estimating experience in electrical/I&C scopes.
• Willingness to travel within regional WA for short-term project needs.
• Desire for long-term, permanent employment with a dedicated, high-performing team.
