Job description
  • Major HV Substation, Renewable Energy and BESS projects across Australia
  • Remain technically focused while mentoring developing Engineers
  • National project portfolio, strong pipeline and long term career growth

Senior Electrical Engineer | Secondary & Protection
Sydney or Melbourne | Permanent Full Time

Ready to take on more complex Secondary & Protection engineering without moving away from the technical work you enjoy?

Work across a national portfolio of HV Substation, Renewable Energy and Energy Storage projects, taking technical ownership of Secondary & Protection packages from concept through detailed design and delivery.

You'll have room to lead technically, mentor developing Engineers and influence how projects are delivered, without being pigeonholed into one project or asset.

With a growing pipeline ahead, there's plenty of scope to broaden your experience and accelerate your career as the national capability expands.

What's On Offer

  • Accelerate Your Career - Come in, perform well and make an impact early. As the team grows, so can your technical responsibility, influence and career.
  • Stay Technical - Build deeper expertise across Secondary & Protection design while taking greater ownership of complex engineering packages.
  • Major Power Projects - Work across HV Substations, BESS, Renewable Energy and broader Critical Infrastructure projects.
  • Broader Exposure - Move across different clients, sectors and project stages rather than spending years locked into one programme.
  • Develop Other Engineers - Share your knowledge with developing Engineers while continuing to strengthen your own technical capability.
  • Greater Technical Influence - Contribute to engineering standards, design quality and the technical direction of major project packages.
  • National Engineering Platform - Work alongside specialists across Primary Design, Grid Connection and other engineering disciplines.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead Secondary & Protection packages across HV Substations, BESS and Renewable Energy projects from concept through detailed design.
  • Provide technical input across protection schemes, secondary systems and associated engineering while reviewing and improving design quality.
  • Work with clients and multidisciplinary project teams while mentoring developing Engineers.

What Will Make You Successful

  • Electrical Engineering degree with strong experience in HV Substation Secondary & Protection design.
  • Technical capability across protection and control systems, with exposure to large scale Solar, BESS or broader HV infrastructure highly regarded.
  • Comfortable taking ownership of technical packages and supporting other Engineers while remaining hands on with design.

Why Apply?
If you want to remain an Engineer first, but have more technical ownership and influence, this is a strong next step.

You'll work across a varied national project portfolio, solve complex engineering problems and develop other Engineers, with plenty of work ahead to keep building your career.

We'd love to hear from you. Apply now for a confidential discussion.
