Substation Design | Grid Connections | Infrastructure & Renewables

A nationally recognised engineering consultancy delivering high-voltage and complex electrical design solutions across Australia is looking to grow their team. With a track record of securing major substation and grid connection projects, they continue to expand across energy, infrastructure, and renewables.

This group works with transmission and distribution clients, government agencies, and major contractors to design and deliver critical HV infrastructure. The team includes senior engineers with deep technical capability across primary and secondary HV design, protection, earthing, and grid compliance.

They are now looking for a Junior to Intermediate-level HV Engineer who has experience in substation design. The ideal person will have worked in an engineering consultancy environment, supporting senior engineers on HV projects ranging from 66kV to 500kV. Projects include new substations, upgrades to existing sites, and renewable energy connections.

What you’ll bring:

• 1 to 5 years of experience in HV electrical design within a consultancy, utility, or EPC contractor environment
• Exposure to primary substation design including layout, HV equipment specification, earthing, and busbar arrangements
• Experience producing technical drawings, schematics, and engineering reports
• Familiarity with Australian standards, utility requirements, and network connection processes
• A degree in Electrical Engineering or similar

Experience working on renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, or battery storage is a bonus but not essential. What matters most is a solid foundation in substation design and a proactive mindset to keep developing your expertise.

You’ll join a high-performing team that values quality engineering and supports technical development through mentoring, structured training, and exposure to complex projects across multiple states. Engineers in this group are encouraged to work across the full project lifecycle, including concept design, detailed design, and construction support.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build their long-term career in HV electrical engineering, working alongside some of the best in the industry.
