Brisbane, Queensland, Australia CanDoIt Solutions Pty Ltd Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year
About the Role

We're looking for a skilled Electrical & Controls Engineer to join CanDoIt Solutions — a leading team at the forefront of digital transformation across food, energy, and infrastructure sectors in Australia.

In this full-time role, you'll work on end-to-end delivery of electrical and automation systems across a growing portfolio of innovative projects — from designing clean, smart food manufacturing facilities to upgrading critical infrastructure and gas SCADA networks.

This is a role for someone who thrives on solving real-world engineering challenges and wants to work across electrical design, PLC programming, and SCADA systems in one place — with a team that values curiosity, initiative, and strong technical standards.


What You'll Be Doing
  • Delivering project work across electrical, controls, and SCADA — from concept design to commissioning and handover.
  • Designing and specifying control panels, electrical schematics, Safety Design, and field wiring to Australian standards.
  • Programming PLC systems (especially Allen-Bradley and Omron) for sequence control, interlocks, automation logic and PLC Safety.
  • Configuring and deploying modern SCADA systems — ideally Ignition — for real-time visibility, alarming, and reporting.
  • Liaising with clients, suppliers, and project teams to define requirements and ensure quality delivery.
  • Providing ongoing support to operations and maintenance teams — with a focus on reliability, safety, and usability.
  • Staying current with regulatory standards (e.g. AS3000, AS4024) and industry best practices in controls and automation.

Key Projects You'll Be Working On
  • Full-system design & automation for food and beverage facilities — including batching, packaging, and traceability.
  • Gas network SCADA upgrade projects, including secure communications, remote telemetry, and high-availability architecture.
  • Critical infrastructure upgrades involving protection systems, PLC/SCADA replacements, and safety system design.

Who You Are
  • A qualified Electrical or Controls Engineer with at least 5 years of industry experience. RPEQ Ideally.
  • Comfortable across both control system design and hands-on commissioning.
  • Proficient with PLC programming (Allen-Bradley and/or Omron preferred).
  • Experienced in SCADA development, with Ignition SCADA highly regarded.
  • Skilled in reading and producing electrical schematics using CAD tools.
  • A strong communicator who enjoys solving real problems with clients and trades.
  • Knowledgeable of key Australian standards and industrial safety requirements.

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary with bonus potential based on performance and project delivery.
  • Flexible work arrangements and the option to support hybrid or remote delivery (where applicable).
  • Exposure to multi-disciplinary projects with a high level of ownership and technical influence.
  • Access to mentoring, formal training, and growth into lead or senior roles over time.
  • A genuinely collaborative environment with a team that loves solving hard technical problems.
