Overview
Power Systems Engineer - Team Leader
Everything is an adventure for the curious mind. At Aurecon, we turn curiosity into real-world outcomes. Join us and use your expertise to foster innovation, navigate complexity with care, and co-create projects that deliver meaningful, lasting change.
Your role
As a Team Lead Engineer in our Queensland Energy Tean, you'll guide purposeful work that supports the future of the energy sector. Collaborating with a diverse, multidisciplinary team, you'll explore integrated solutions, offer thoughtful perspectives, and partner with clients to help them build a more sustainable world.
What you'll be doing
* Leading and empowering a diverse, high-performing team – guide and support specialists who help connect renewable generation, storage and hybrid projects to the NEM.
* Providing trusted grid advisory services – help clients navigate connection strategy, generator performance standards, system strength considerations and registration, with a focus on practical, inclusive problem-solving.
* Driving excellence in power system modelling – oversee the use of industry-standard tools (PSSE, PSCAD, PowerFactory and OEM models) while coaching the team to build capability and confidence.
* Empowering energy transformation – work with purpose alongside clients and colleagues to deliver projects that contribute to a cleaner, more reliable and more equitable energy future.
* Collaborating across disciplines – partner with engineering, commercial, digital, advisory and environmental teams to co-create solutions to complex system needs.
* Championing quality and continuous improvement – refine modelling approaches, uplift capability and foster a learning culture that supports career development.
* Supporting growth and wellbeing – mentor team members, promote inclusive practices, and contribute to business development through authentic relationship-building.
* Build a high performing power systems team through strategic recruitment of highly skilled individuals and developing in house talent"
What you'll bring
You blend technical expertise with empathy, communication and inclusive leadership. You enjoy helping others grow and thrive in dynamic environments. You'll also have:
* Experience in power systems or grid connection – you may have 15+ years in consulting, utilities, developers or operations, or you may bring a slightly different mix of experience that aligns with grid advisory and modelling work.
* Strong capability in grid connection modelling – experience with PSSE, PSCAD, PowerFactory or equivalent tools, and an understanding of generation control systems.
* A collaborative and supportive leadership style – you engage confidently with clients and colleagues, value diverse perspectives, and create environments where people do their best work.
* Relevant electrical engineering qualifications – and RPEQ registration (or willingness to obtain).
* A commitment to Aurecon's Attributes – inquisitive, resourceful, co-creative, engaging, commercially aware, and a sense-maker who is open to new ideas.
* Flexibility and curiosity – a willingness to travel occasionally and support site-based roles when needed, balanced by the flexibility you need to manage life outside work.
