• Applying reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) principles to improve system performance
• Providing technical leadership and mentoring to engineering teams
• Coordinating with civil, structural, and secondary disciplines to deliver integrated design outcomes
• Supporting system integration, requirements management, and design verification processes
• Leading the resolution of complex technical issues, balancing cost, time, and quality constraints
• Driving design optimisation, constructability, and innovative engineering solutions

What you’ll need to succeed

• Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Extensive experience in HV primary design (220kV+ preferred)
• Strong substation and transmission project exposure
• Proven experience leading design delivery on large-scale projects
• Solid understanding of Australian standards and grid compliance
