Renewable Energy Talent Specialist @ Phillip Riley | Embedded Systems, Power Systems & Grid Connection
* Are you ready to lead a high-performing team shaping Australia's energy future?
* Do you thrive in a technical leadership role where your impact is immediate and meaningful?
* Looking to take the next step in your power systems career with a company that delivers real outcomes — not just reports?
The Role
An exceptional opportunity has opened for a seasoned Power Systems Engineer to step into a Principal-level role, leading a dynamic team of 6–7 engineers within a fast-growing specialist consultancy based in Brisbane.
This is more than just another engineering role — it's a pivotal leadership position in a company that's grown from 3 to nearly 170 people, built on a reputation for deep technical expertise and end-to-end delivery across the full grid connection and EPC lifecycle. With around 50 professionals in the Power Systems division alone, the scale and complexity of projects are second to none — and your team will be central to driving this next chapter.
Key experience
* The successful candidate will act as technical lead on complex projects, own the client relationship, and guide a team delivering full Generator Performance Standards (GPS) studies — including R0 and R1 submissions — for utility-scale renewable and grid-connected developments.
* Proficiency in PSS/E and PSCAD is essential
* Communicating and liaising with NSPs and AMEO
* Manage the enquiry, application, registration, and/or design phases for both large energy user and/or renewable energy projects (e.g., HV Grid Connections, substation design, generating plant power system)
This is a rare opportunity to lead one of three core teams in Brisbane, reporting to the Engineering Group Manager and working closely with a newly appointed GM of Engineering who's driving an exciting internal restructure. With strong project demand and limited internal hiring capacity until this key hire is made, your arrival will have immediate impact — both technically and culturally.
Why join them?
* The role offers a total remuneration package of $200,000–$270,000 (negotiable for the right person), with an additional discretionary bonus.
* Flexibility to work from home, with minimum 2 days in the office per week.
* Relocation support can be discussed for interstate candidates looking to make a meaningful career move.
This position would suit someone already operating at the Principal level or a proven Senior Engineer ready for the step up. If you're ready to lead, influence, and be part of a team shaping Australia's power systems future — this could be your moment.
