This is a hands-on project delivery role with a leading global firm specialising in cutting-edge solar, battery storage (BESS), and wind projects. My client is seeking a dedicated Senior Project Engineer to ensure the successful, safe, and compliant construction of high-voltage infrastructure across various sites.
The Opportunity
You will be integral to the delivery of large-scale renewable energy substation, BESS, and wind projects across Australia.

* Safety & Compliance: Actively participate in design reviews, including safety in design, and attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and site inspections.
* Execution: Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget, and built exactly to specification.
What We Are Looking For
We need a highly capable Project Engineer with a proven track record in high-voltage environments and large-scale infrastructure.
Essential Qualifications And Experience
* Qualification: Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering.
* Project Experience: Proven experience as a Project Engineer delivering large-scale energy projects. Prior experience with HV Substations, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or Wind Farms is highly desirable.
* Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of HV/LV systems, grid connections, and Balance of Plant (BOP) design and construction.
