About the Role

Based in either Brisbane or Sydney, you’ll play a key role in the design and delivery of electrical systems across a range of renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, hydrogen, and BESS. Reporting to the Electrical Engineering Manager, you’ll provide electrical engineering expertise from early project development through to construction and commissioning.

This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark in a purpose-driven company committed to accelerating Australia’s energy transition.

Key Responsibilities

• Support development of new project opportunities (solar, wind, BESS).
• Design and review MV/LV electrical systems and substation layouts.
• Ensure consultant designs comply with Australian Standards.
• Develop and review electrical system specs and tender documents.
• Support the scoping and management of the electrical design across project lifecycle.
• Assist with cost estimates, specs, and evaluation of electrical construction works.
• Prepare concept designs for underground/overhead reticulation using AutoCAD.
• Provide electrical engineering support during construction, testing & commissioning.
• Finalise documentation and support handover to O&M teams.
• Maintain technical standards, mentor junior staff, and build stakeholder relationships.

What You’ll Bring

• Tertiary qualifications in Electrical Engineering and strong experience in the power generation, transmission, or distribution sectors, particularly in substation and underground cable system design.
• Chartered Professional Engineer status (including RPEQ), or eligible for registration within 6 months with company support (desirable).
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office and relevant engineering software.
• Strong technical capability in producing engineering documentation, problem-solving, and working in interdisciplinary design and construction teams.
• Well-organised, self-motivated and able to work independently.
• Understanding of the Australian renewable energy sector and the National Energy Market.
• Willingness and ability to travel to project sites across Australia as and if required.
