Electrical Engineer - Job Description
The Role: We are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer to join our Project Engineering team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on various high-voltage infrastructure projects that support the energy transition.
Main Responsibilities:
1. Assist in the planning, design, and engineering of electrical infrastructure projects, particularly high-voltage substations and transmission/distribution systems.
2. Support the tender process by preparing engineering scopes, cost estimates, design support, and technical proposal content for M&E tenders.
3. Develop and review electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, and design documentation in coordination with senior engineers.
4. Conduct HV engineering studies, such as earthing design, protection coordination, load flow, short-circuit analysis, insulation coordination.
5. Support commissioning activities by developing Test Procedures (e.g., Commissioning Test Procedures, Functional Test Procedures), Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), and work packs.
6. Assist in site acceptance testing (SAT), site commissioning, and energisation activities, working safely and in accordance with project permit-to-work systems.
7. Provide technical support during construction by liaising with construction teams, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to resolve design or installation issues.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or equivalent).
3-7 years' experience in electrical engineering, ideally with exposure to high-voltage systems, substations, or transmission/distribution networks.
Experience with Australian electrical standards, regulations, and codes (or equivalent, depending on region).
Knowledge of HV protection systems, earthing design, SCADA/telemetry, and commissioning practices.
Proven experience (or at least some exposure) in preparing test procedures (ITPs, CTPs, FTPs), commissioning documentation, and executing commissioning or pre-commissioning activities.
Strong technical documentation skills (drawings, reports, work packs).
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Strong problem-solving aptitude and attention to detail.
Benefits:
This role offers the opportunity to work on high-impact, high-voltage infrastructure projects that support the energy transition. You will gain hands-on commissioning experience, work with experienced HV engineers and project teams, and have the potential for site-based roles or travel.
About You:
We are looking for a self-motivated and detail-oriented individual who is passionate about electrical engineering and has a strong desire to contribute to the energy transition.
