Working at Enerven, you will play a major role in building and transforming the infrastructure which will revolutionise the energy industry and create a more sustainable future for all Australians. Our nationwide initiatives are at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution.
At Enerven, we’re focussed on connecting you with tomorrow.
About the role
Enerven are seeking a Principal Automation Engineer to join our design team and lead the delivery of some of Australia's most significant renewable energy infrastructure and transmission projects. This exciting portfolio includes the 500MW Liddell BESS, the 2.8GWh Eraring BESS and the 500kV Goulburn River Solar Farm connection in New South Wales where Enerven is delivering the critical infrastructure needed to drive Australia’s renewable energy transition.
As the Principal Automation Engineer, you will provide technical leadership, guidance, mentorship to team members, act as a technical authority of automation and control systems designs whilst playing a key role in the successful delivery of automation designs across the project portfolio. You will support the Automation Team Lead and contribute expert knowledge across all automation-related deliverables.
