Brisbane, QLD | Full-time | Renewable Energy / Clean Tech
Join RedEarth Energy Storage - powering Australia's renewable future

Why this role matters

Australia's energy story is shifting fast, and at RedEarth, we're building it here in Brisbane.
We design, engineer, and manufacture smart battery systems that help households and businesses take control of their power.

Now we're looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to lead the way on design integrity, safety, and compliance for our growing C&I (Commercial & Industrial) battery systems.

You'll work hands-on with R&D, testing, and production to make sure every system we build is safe, practical, and beautifully engineered.

What you'll take ownership of
  • Guiding system design and build decisions through strong electrical knowledge and compliance insight
  • Translating AS/NZS standards into clear, workable guidance for engineering and manufacturing teams
  • Running live testing and validation on active systems
  • Acting as RedEarth's QTP, holding the company's electrical licence (or working toward it)
  • Partnering with R&D to develop, test, and refine new products and containerised systems
  • Supporting major C&I projects from design to commissioning
What you bring
  • Licensed electrician or degree-qualified electrical engineer with 10+ years' experience
  • Deep understanding of Australian electrical and safety standards (AS/NZS 3000, 5139, 4777)
  • Experience in renewable, battery, or high-voltage systems
  • Practical, hands-on approach to testing, compliance, and design
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style
Why join RedEarth

Because we're not just another energy company.
We're Australian-owned, design and build everything in-house, and our systems are already powering homes and businesses nationwide.

You'll join a team that's passionate, pragmatic, and proud of doing hard things properly - engineers, makers, and innovators working on something that genuinely matters.

We move fast, stay grounded, and care deeply about the quality of our work - and the impact it creates.

Ready to build what powers tomorrow?
Join RedEarth Energy Storage in Brisbane and help shape the future of smarter, safer energy.
