The opportunity:

Sedgman Prudentia is seeking an experienced Senior Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer to join our Brisbane team.

You will work across multiple project phases, from early‑stage studies and design through to construction and commissioning support, collaborating closely with clients and multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver practical solutions to complex brownfield and minerals processing challenges.

What you'll do:

• Contribute to electrical and instrumentation engineering activities across studies and multidisciplinary projects.
• Take ownership of E&I technical deliverables, including specifications, calculations, drawings, scopes of work and work packs.
• Lead early‑stage engineering studies, FEED and detailed design.
• Work directly with clients to understand requirements and develop practical engineering solutions.
• Support site investigations, construction, commissioning and contractor activities.
• Review engineering work to ensure appropriate technical standards and project requirements are met.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide technical guidance and support to other engineers and designers as required.

What you'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 7+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience, ideally within engineering consultancy, heavy industry, resources or minerals processing.
• Strong electrical and instrumentation design capability.
• Experience contributing to or leading engineering studies, scopes and multidisciplinary projects.
• Experience preparing and reviewing engineering calculations and technical documentation.
• Practical site experience across investigations, construction and commissioning.
• Familiarity with relevant Australian Standards.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and confidence working directly with clients.
• Ability to develop single line diagrams, termination diagrams and schematics.
• Competency in reading and interpreting piping and instrumentation diagrams.
• Understanding of electrical power system studies and modelling software.

Highly regarded:

• Minerals processing or heavy industry experience.
• RPEQ, Chartered Engineer or other relevant professional registration.
• FEED and feasibility study experience.
• Hazardous areas design and equipment specification.
• HAZOP, process safety or machine safety experience.
• Previous multidisciplinary engineering consultancy experience.
• Previous experience leading or mentoring engineers and designers.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Take greater technical ownership of E&I deliverables and engineering outcomes.
• Develop your technical and leadership capability, with opportunities to take on greater discipline leadership and project responsibility.
• Work across varied projects and engineering phases, rather than being tied to one type of project.
