  • Perform technical studies/calculations: clearance, insulation coordination, earthing/grounding, thermal ratings, fault current studies.
  • Coordinate and integrate with civil, structural, secondary systems, protection & control systems to ensure a holistic, constructible design.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards, codes & guidelines (AS/NZS, IEC, IEEE or equivalents), client requirements, and regulatory approvals.
  • Review, mentor and provide technical leadership to more junior engineers and designers.
  • Contribute to tenders, feasibility studies, cost estimates, risk assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What we're looking for from you:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Significant experience (e.g years) in high-voltage / primary electrical design for substations and/or transmission infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with layout, schematics, equipment specification, design calculations and design documentation.
  • Strong knowledge of Australian and international standards governing high voltage/substation design.
  • Capability in working within multi-disciplinary design teams, coordinating with civil/structural, secondary systems, protection & control.
  • Excellent technical communication skills, report writing, and ability to lead design reviews.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple deliverables, stakeholder expectations, and deadlines.
  • Professional registration or working toward (e.g. CPEng or equivalent) desirable.

What we offer:

  • Opportunity to work on large scale, impactful energy infrastructure projects as part of WA's energy transition.
  • A collaborative, diverse and inclusive environment where technical excellence is valued and your ideas matter.
  • Structured professional development, mentoring, and opportunities to grow your technical leadership.
  • Flexible work arrangements, responsive to balance and wellbeing.
  • Competitive remuneration package commensurate with experience and skills.
