About Project Engineering Roles
Are you looking for a challenging career in project engineering? As a professional in this field, you will be responsible for designing and implementing electrical and instrumentation systems for various projects.
As a project engineer in our organization, you will play a key role in bridging the gap between design and construction. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to define project scopes, objectives, and deliverables, ensuring that they align with operational and strategic goals.
We are seeking a proactive and technically driven project engineer - Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) to join our projects team. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical knowledge of electrical and control system systems, standards, methodologies, equipment, and components commonly used in mining and rail operations.
The successful applicant will have a bachelor's degree in electrical or control system engineering, minimum 10 years of experience in related engineering design, construction and delivery in multi-disciplinary projects, and proven track record of successfully managing complex projects from conception to completion, within budget and schedule, while maintaining high safety and quality standards.
This is an opportunity to work as part of a cohesive, multi-disciplinary team on both rail and mining projects valued at more than A$100 million in the next 12 months alone. We offer a dynamic and supportive workplace along with competitive remuneration.
Key Responsibilities:
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define project scopes, objectives, and deliverables for E&I projects aligned with operational and strategic goals.
* Conduct site investigations, feasibility studies, and engineering assessments, ensuring compliance with standards and regulations.
* Prepare or review detailed E&I designs, drawings, and specifications. Coordinate across disciplines for design optimisation and evaluate contractor/supplier submissions for compliance.
* Coordinate approvals with stakeholders, consultants, contractors, and regulatory bodies.
* Contribute to the development and standardisation of engineering specifications and documentation.
* Manage project timelines, budgets, and resources, ensuring on-time delivery with minimal disruption.
* Review contractor quality plans and ensure works meet technical and performance standards. Support QA processes (RFIs, TQs, ITPs, punch lists) and manage as-built records for handover.
* Oversee construction activities and conduct site inspections to ensure design and safety compliance.
* Provide technical support to construction, operations, and maintenance teams during build, startup, and operation.
* Maintain project documentation, report on progress, issues, and lessons learned.
Requirements:
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Control System Engineering.
