Overview

What if you could do the kind of work the world needs? At WSP, you’ll tap into global expertise, work on landmark projects, and connect with bright minds to do the best work of your life while staying curious in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives.

WSP Australia’s Water Business Group is growing. We’re looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to join our VIC Water Utilities team. Whether you’re already leading complex delivery or ready for the next step, you’ll find the support, flexibility, and runway to thrive. We recognise that everyone brings unique strengths. While experience in the water sector is highly valued, we also understand that careers develop in different ways. Whether you are operating at Associate or Principal level, we will shape the role around your technical strengths, career aspirations, and long‑term goals.

What You’ll Do

  • Work as part of a national multi-disciplinary team to deliver project goals.
  • Produce high-quality technical documentation for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Undertake field and desktop investigations on existing electrical infrastructure for capital upgrades.
  • Prepare detailed documentation and specifications for electrical components to support procurement and delivery.
  • Liaise with project stakeholders including clients and vendors.
  • Apply technical and commercial acumen to achieve successful outcomes for projects and clients.
  • Demonstrate specialist safety knowledge in areas such as protection, arc flash, earthing, hazardous areas, and machine safety principles.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience in design and delivery of projects in Water (ideal), mining, industrial or Energy sectors
  • 12+ years’ experience in an engineering consultancy or design role for a contractor or asset owner (water industry preferred).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Chartered Engineer; RPEV certification
  • Design experience in LV and ELV systems, PLC/telemetry, PTW design, and Instrumentation and Control
  • Strong understanding of standards, conceptual and detailed design, and design management of electrical infrastructure
  • Excellent communication skills – written and verbal – with the ability to consult effectively with clients and collaborate internally.

Why Choose WSP?

  • Competitive remuneration and flexible working arrangements.
  • Clear career pathways, including mentoring, leadership development, and national or global secondment opportunities.
  • An inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives and encourages you to bring your whole self to work.
  • Meaningful, purpose‑driven projects that help shape the future of water.
  • Benefits including paid parental leave, purchased leave options, global mobility opportunities, and more.
  • Access to our Employee Share Purchase Plan, allowing you to become a vested partner in WSP’s success.

Here, you’ll find more than just a role — you’ll find a place to thrive, grow, and make an impact. Imagine a better future for you, and a better future for us all. With us, you can. Apply today.
