Job description

At Siemens, we create technology that transforms the everyday, for everyone. Australia may contribute around 1% of global emissions, but we know that every action matters. That’s why we empower our customers to do more with less: using less energy, reducing emissions, and building industries that shape a cleaner, smarter, and fairer future.

By combining the real and digital worlds, we help our customers transform their industries and markets and in turn, make a positive impact on the everyday lives of billions of people. Innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity are at the heart of what we do.

We’re looking for a recent graduate in Power Systems to join our team as soon as possible. To be eligible, you’ll need to hold Australian or New Zealand permanent residency or citizenship.

About the Program

Build real expertise, not just broad exposure

Our 2-year graduate program is designed to help you grow into a confident professional with strong technical capability, commercial competence and lasting connections.

Rather than moving through short rotations, you’ll join one team and build depth in your role over time. That means more ownership, stronger mentoring, and a clearer view of how your work contributes to business outcomes.

Why You’ll Love Being Part of Our Team

• Enjoy 36 hours each year for learning and development
• Join us as a permanent team member from day one, with a comprehensive 2-year development program designed to accelerate your growth
• Opportunity to work 2–3 days from home each week with our hybrid work model
• Paid volunteering leave to give back to causes that matter to you
• Family‑first culture including up to 16 weeks paid parental leave
• Take part in events, celebrations, and team-building activities to make connections and build your network

What You'll Be Doing With Us

• Perform steady‑state, transient, power quality, and small‑signal studies across cutting‑edge transmission systems, microgrids, and hybrid networks.
• Collaborate with project teams and act as a trusted advisor to customers, helping them implement innovative Siemens technologies.
• Turn intricate technical analysis into clear, high‑impact reports that drive real‑world engineering solutions.
• Gain commercial exposure by contributing to technical scopes, cost estimates, and contract discussions.
• Help shape the future of sustainable power systems by providing expert technical insights to key partners.

About You

We know that talent comes in many forms, and we welcome applications from people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. You might be a great fit if you bring:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering. Specialisation in Power Systems or Control Systems is critical.
• Proficient in Python programming.
• Confident with simulation tools like PSS®E, PSCAD, and PowerFactory.
• Ideally, familiar with grid connection engineering for the NEM, with a basic understanding of the NER (National Electricity Rules) and Australian grid standards.
• A strong communicator, able to clearly convey complex ideas both verbally and in writing.
• Strategically minded with strong business sense, capable of aligning technical expertise with broader business goals.
• To be eligible for our graduate program, you’ll need to be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or hold Australian permanent residency at the time of application.

We strive to provide a safe working environment for each member of our diverse team and commit to continuously develop our ways of working on this journey.
