Head of Engineering - Utility-Scale Solutions Location: Perth or Brisbane
We’re partnering with a global energy solutions provider delivering large-scale, flexible power and infrastructure projects across renewables, thermal and hybrid systems.
With a strong presence in Australia and a growing pipeline of utility-scale opportunities, the business is looking to appoint a Head of Engineering to lead its technical function across Western Australia.
The Role This is a senior leadership position responsible for overseeing engineering across a diverse portfolio of utility-scale energy projects.
You will lead a multidisciplinary engineering team, ensuring technical excellence across project design, execution and delivery. The role spans multiple technologies and requires a broad, solutions-focused approach to engineering rather than a purely power systems lens.
Working closely with commercial, delivery and operational teams, you will play a key role in shaping project outcomes, supporting bids and ensuring engineering inputs are aligned with both client requirements and broader business objectives.

Lead and develop a high-performing engineering team across Western Australia
Oversee engineering design and technical delivery across utility-scale energy projects (including hybrid and off-grid solutions)
Provide technical leadership across the full project lifecycle, from concept and bid support through to execution and commissioning
Ensure engineering outputs meet required standards across safety, quality, cost and schedule
Work closely with commercial and project delivery teams to develop competitive, technically robust solutions
Manage and coordinate external engineering consultants and OEMs where required
Support risk identification and mitigation across technical scopes
Contribute to strategic planning, capability build-out and continuous improvement of engineering processes
