Evoenergy is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the development and maintenance of technical design standards for sub-transmission assets, including 132/11kV zone substations, overhead lines, underground cables, and associated protection and control systems. Embedded within the Capability, Standards and Assurance team, this role brings deep technical expertise in high-voltage design and contributes to strengthening Evoenergy's engineering capability across both primary and secondary systems.

This position plays a key role in ensuring design standards are practical, safe, and aligned with regulatory and operational needs.

  • Provide specialist expertise in primary plant layout, protection design, and IEC 61850-based secondary systems.
  • Review and update technical drawings, manuals, and specifications to reflect current practices and regulatory changes.
  • Manage engineering consultants and contribute to procurement processes for sub-transmission equipment and services.
  • Collaborate across planning, design, construction, and asset management to ensure standards are integrated across the asset lifecycle.
  • Support investigations into asset performance and contribute to safe design practices and continuous improvement.

Please see the attached position descriptions to view the full list of responsibilities for these roles.

Our ideal candidate:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and eligibility for ACT Professional Engineering Registration.
  • Deep expertise in one or more areas of transmission-level design (primary substations, transmission lines, or protection systems).
  • Strong foundational understanding of all sub-transmission disciplines to support integrated design standards.
  • Experience managing consultants and reviewing technical deliverables, drawings, and specifications.
  • Knowledge of relevant standards and strong communication skills to engage stakeholders across technical and operational teams.
