Engineering Manager

Delivery Projects are among the most technically complex in Transgrid's delivery portfolio. They involve major substation works, significant transmission line programs and assets that will operate on the NSW transmission network for decades. The Engineering Manager is the person responsible for making sure the engineering behind those assets is right from the design quality coming in from external providers, to the technical readiness of each project at commissioning, to the alignment with the asset management standards that govern how the network is maintained and operated over its life.

You have 15 or more years in high-voltage infrastructure project delivery and the technical depth to lead engineering integration across a complex portfolio of Delivery Projects substation and transmission projects. You are as comfortable in a stakeholder workshop as you are in a technical design review, and you can hold both the strategic and the detailed view at the same time.

Tertiary qualifications in Engineering — Civil, Electrical or a related discipline.

Minimum 15 years of experience in high-voltage infrastructure project delivery with strong exposure to design, construction or asset management on substation and transmission line projects.
