• Strong understanding of solar, wind, BESS electrical systems and interfaces, such as (as relevant to your experience): inverter-based generation and grid-forming / grid-following considerations; DC collection systems, string/central inverter configurations and inverter stations; MV reticulation, switchgear, transformers, earthing and lightning protection; protection, control and metering interfaces, including integration with substations and grid connection requirements.
• Experience producing high-quality deliverables: single line diagrams, equipment specifications, calculations, technical reports, design packages and review documentation.
• Ability to work effectively in integrated teams across the business and coordinate with offshore/distributed delivery teams while maintaining quality and program alignment.
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with clients, OEMs, contractors, NSPs and internal stakeholders.
• A collaborative mindset with a focus on safety, constructability, and delivering to scope, budget and schedule.
• Degree qualifications in Electrical Engineering (working toward Chartered status will be highly regarded).
