Job description

Shape the Future of Australia's Energy Network

At WSP, we're helping deliver the next generation of transmission infrastructure that will power Australia's energy transition. As our Power & Energy team continues to grow, we're seeking an experienced Associate or Senior Electrical Engineer (EHV) to provide technical leadership across major transmission and substation projects throughout Australia.

Working on projects ranging from 330kV to 500kV, you'll play a key role in delivering complex substation and transmission solutions while mentoring engineers and contributing to the technical excellence of our national team.

What You'll Do

In this client-facing technical leadership role, you will:

  • Lead the delivery of EHV/HV substation primary design packages from concept through to detailed design and construction support.
  • Provide technical direction, guidance, and mentorship to engineers across the Power & Energy business.
  • Undertake and review technical studies, design calculations, and engineering assessments.
  • Develop substation layouts, equipment arrangements, specifications, and design documentation.
  • Support project teams during design reviews, construction, commissioning, and project delivery phases.
  • Collaborate with clients, utilities, contractors, and key stakeholders to deliver successful project outcomes.
  • Contribute to proposals, business development activities, and technical capability initiatives across the business.
  • Support the development of innovative and technically robust solutions for major transmission infrastructure projects.

About You

You are a highly capable electrical engineer with extensive experience in transmission and substation design, backed by strong technical expertise and a passion for sharing knowledge with others.

You'll bring:

  • A degree qualification in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Significant experience delivering HV/EHV substation projects within the power, utilities, or energy sector.
  • Demonstrated expertise working on transmission infrastructure projects in the 330kV to 500kV range.
  • Hands-on experience undertaking technical studies and engineering calculations, rather than solely reviewing third-party designs.
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • Conductor and busbar sizing
    • Short-circuit force calculations
    • Lightning protection design
    • Lighting design studies
    • Substation equipment layouts
    • High-voltage equipment specifications
    • HV cable sizing and associated calculations
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • A collaborative approach and desire to mentor and develop emerging engineers.

Why Join WSP?

At WSP, you'll join one of Australia's leading Power & Energy teams and work on some of the country's most significant transmission and renewable energy projects.

We offer:

  • The opportunity to lead nationally significant energy infrastructure projects.
  • A strong pipeline of transmission, substation, and renewable energy work.
  • Flexible working arrangements and genuine work-life balance.
  • Access to industry-leading technical specialists and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.
  • A collaborative and inclusive culture where your expertise is valued.

Imagine a Better Future with WSP

Join a team that's helping deliver the infrastructure needed to support Australia's clean energy future. If you're an experienced EHV engineer looking to make a lasting impact while advancing your career, we'd love to hear from you.
