Responsibilities

• Act as electrical SME across grid, solar, BESS, and data centre projects; produce and own electrical designs across the portfolio
• Deliver detailed design across substations, transformers, switchgear, protection, and power distribution
• Develop design packages from concept through detailed design: single-line diagrams, equipment specifications, protection schemes, cable sizing, and earthing and bonding
• Support grid connection works where required (export and demand), ensure compliance with AEMO technical standards, DNSP requirements, and AS/NZS standards, and validate or produce supporting studies (fault level, load flow, protection coordination, harmonics)
• Provide electrical input from development through handover; align design intent with procurement and construction, and resolve technical queries
• Support and witness testing, energisation, and commissioning (substations, protection, standby/UPS); troubleshoot issues and ensure as-builts comply with approved designs
• Support technical due diligence and lender advisory; provide engineering assurance across all electrical deliverables and act as escalation point for complex issues
