The Role

As a Senior or Lead Secondary Systems Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

• Engaging directly with utilities and Network Service Providers (NSPs) to ensure seamless project execution.


• Working across both advisory and delivery functions, maintaining visibility of the commercial and project management aspects behind the designs you produce.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Provide technical expertise and mentorship to junior engineers within the team.


• Ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices in all designs and implementations.


• Contribute to the development of innovative solutions for renewable energy and hybrid systems.

Qualifications

To excel in this role, you will need:

• Extensive experience in secondary systems design within transmission and distribution networks gained at a consultancy, utility, EPC, or similar organization.


• Proven ability to engage directly with clients and NSPs, demonstrating strong communication and stakeholder management skills.


• A proactive and problem-solving mindset, with a keen desire to build and enhance systems and processes.


• Experience at a Senior or Lead-level, with a demonstrated ability to take on increasing responsibilities as the team grows.

Benefits

• Hybrid Working Models: Flexible work environment, combining remote and office-based work.


• Location Flexibility: Opportunities available in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.


• Health and Fitness Support: Monthly gym and fitness reimbursement to support your well-being.


• Telehealth Access: Convenient and easy access to healthcare services.


• Paid Parental Leave: Comprehensive support for growing families during important life moments.
