Our client is a global Tier 1 contractor who has just secured new projects across transmission, EHV substations, and renewables — including solar farms, wind farms, and large-scale bess.

Key responsibilities for the Senior Electrical Engineer: 
  • Work with the Senior Engineers to 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 an 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
  • Membership (or eligibility) with a relevant engineering institution (e.g., Engineers Australia)
