  • Oversee the engineering activities and technical design aspects of the projects
  • Concept and detailed designs, technical investigations, tender assessment & contract technical specifications
  • Analyse electrical system requirements, capacity, cost, and project needs
  • Foster a culture of teamwork within the engineering team and across the wider business to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget

What you'll bring:

  • Proven experience as a Senior Electrical Engineer on major energy projects (HV/EHV Substations, Transmission Lines, Renewable Energy)
  • Proven detailed design experience
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications (e.g., BSc Engineering)
  • CPEng or eligibility to obtain
