Renewables / Energy Transition Recruiter
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Project Engineer to support the delivery of large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across Australia. In this role, you'll work closely with customers, EPCs, and internal engineering teams throughout the early development and delivery phases which includes R0/R1 (pre-FID, feasibility, and concept design) and R2 (detailed design, commissioning readiness). This is a customer-facing, technical coordination role suited for engineers with solid BESS, power systems, or high-voltage project experience.
Key Responsibilities
A) Project Engineering & Technical Support
* Support customers and internal teams across R0, R1, and/or R2 project phases, including feasibility, concept design, and detailed engineering.
* Translate project requirements into technical specifications for BESS equipment, PCS, EMS, HV/MV integration, SCADA, and balance-of-plant interfaces.
* Review client documentation (SOW, grid requirements, functional specs) and prepare technical deliverables.
B) Coordination & Stakeholder Management
* Act as the technical point of contact during pre-execution stages, supporting design clarifications, RFIs, workshops, and customer meetings.
* Coordinate with engineering, product, quality, and manufacturing teams to ensure compliance with Australian standards and project requirements.
* Support EPC partners during design validation, system configuration, grid studies, and integration planning.
C) Documentation & Delivery Support
* Develop and review engineering documentation such as SLDs, layout drawings, load lists, cable schedules, control philosophies, and interface matrices.
* Support factory acceptance tests (FAT), type tests, and certification processes for BESS equipment.
* Assist in developing commissioning plans, SAT documentation, and acceptance testing frameworks.
D) Compliance & Grid Requirements
* Ensure designs comply with R0/R1/R2 expectations, including AEMO guidelines, DNSP requirements, and relevant AS/NZS/IEC standards.
* Contribute to grid compliance submissions and performance models where required.
Qualifications & Experience
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Renewable Energy, or related discipline.
* 3+ years' experience in utility‑scale BESS, HV/MV grid‑connected assets, solar farms, or related infrastructure.
* Experience working in R0, R1 or R1 and R2 project stages
* Knowledge of Australian grid standards, AEMO processes, and connection requirements.
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to interface with clients, EPCs, and internal stakeholders.
* Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and grid/network documentation.
