• Deep expertise in GPS requirements, NSP/AEMO engagement, and Australian connection processes
• Advanced technical skills in PSCAD and EMT-type modelling for inverter-based resources
• Grid-forming technology knowledge and understanding of system strength, dynamic performance standards
• Cross-functional collaboration skills - proven ability to work across technical and commercial teams
• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline (CPEng or RPEQ highly regarded)
• Project development experience working with developers, OEMs, or grid consultants preferred

Why This Role?

• Work on Australia's most advanced BESS projects - including cutting-edge grid-forming technology that's reshaping how batteries support grid stability
• High-impact technical leadership in a newly created role where you'll shape the direction of grid integration strategy
• End-to-end project involvement - from early-stage feasibility and bidding through to commissioning and R2 approvals
• Industry influence - represent the company in working groups and technical forums, directly influencing Australia's energy transition
• Technical mastery - work with the most sophisticated PSCAD/EMT modelling for next-generation inverter-based resources
• Competitive package with flexible location options across Melbourne, Sydney, or Perth
• Global opportunities within an established technology leader with international project exposure
• Be at the forefront of grid-forming deployment - technology that's critical to Australia's renewable energy future
