Offer description

ACRWORLD Perth, Western Australia, Australia
A rapidly growing organization in the renewable energy sector, focused on delivering innovative, technically robust solutions that support Australia's transition to a cleaner, more reliable energy future. With strong financial backing and a substantial development pipeline, the business combines deep technical expertise, strong industry relationships, and a forward-looking approach to drive impactful outcomes across the energy landscape.
bout The Role
This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering position suited to someone who thrives on delivery and detail. You won't just be overseeing consultants – you'll be in the thick of the design, engineering, and technical execution that brings large-scale renewable projects to life.
As the technical lead, you'll take full ownership of electrical design, specifications, and grid connection aspects, ensuring quality, compliance, and performance across every stage of project delivery. This role is ideal for a true "do-er" engineer who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, solving complex technical challenges, and driving outcomes on real-world projects.

Prepare and review detailed design packages, drawings, and scopes of work to ensure compliance and technical excellence
Drive the technical side of contract negotiations, including design, equipment, construction, and connection
Act as a technical Subject Matter Expert, personally reviewing and approving designs to meet standards and performance targets
Get into the detail – review EPC designs, calculations, and deliverables for accuracy, constructability, and completeness
Manage and coordinate multi-disciplinary design teams, providing practical, technical direction rather than high-level oversight
Prepare RFQs, evaluate tenders, and support procurement through hands-on technical and commercial assessments
Engage directly with contractors, suppliers, and OEMs to ensure technical and quality alignment
Ensure all designs and deliverables meet Australian and international standards, regulatory, and safety requirements
Work closely with engineers, contractors, and stakeholders during design, construction, testing, and commissioning
Provide on-the-ground technical input during construction and commissioning, supporting issue resolution and performance validation
Collaborate with grid teams, NSPs, and relevant stakeholders on connection studies, options, and agreements
Build and maintain strong technical relationships with internal and external stakeholders

Strong grasp of Australian and international standards, safety, and compliance requirements
CAD proficiency and ability to interpret or develop drawings, schematics, and design documentation
