Senior Electrical Engineer - Secondary Systems
Talesca Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
We’re hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer with a strong focus on secondary systems and relay schemes used in high-voltage substations (66kV to 500kV). You’ll be delivering detailed designs for new builds, upgrades, and grid connection projects across Australia’s rapidly growing transmission and renewable infrastructure.
This is a hands-on, project-integrated engineering role where your work will directly shape real-world HV assets.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading the design of secondary systems, with a specific focus on relay logic, schemes, and panel wiring
* Producing functional schematics, wiring diagrams, and configuration details for substation relays
* Supporting testing, FATs, and commissioning documentation as required
* Reviewing and interpreting client standards and integrating them into deliverables
* Interfacing with project managers, primary engineers, and site teams to ensure constructability
* Providing peer reviews and mentoring support to junior engineers
What We're Looking For
* Degree qualified in Electrical or Power Engineering
* 7+ years' experience in substation secondary system design with relay focus
* Strong understanding of HV relay logic, panel layouts, and industry-standard practices
* Familiarity with major TNSP/DNSP technical requirements and design frameworks
* Comfortable working across multiple projects and coordinating with internal/external stakeholders
* Desirable: experience with commissioning, FATs, or relay configuration in the field
Why Join?
* Real design-to-delivery exposure – not just theory or drawings
* Work across Australia’s critical HV infrastructure – from substations to grid-connected renewables
* Flat, collaborative structure – engineers here are trusted, heard, and backed
* Genuine flexibility – location, workstyle, and career direction
