Your impact

Sydney | Flexible / Hybrid Working

Some of Australia's most complex infrastructure projects depend on reliable, resilient and well-designed power systems. Jacobs is looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to join our Infrastructure Power team in Sydney, providing technical leadership across electrical infrastructure typically ranging from 415V through to 66kV.

This is a broad power engineering role rather than a narrow discipline specialist position. You'll work across complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure projects, solving electrical challenges spanning HV and MV distribution, substations, switchgear, protection, power systems and associated electrical infrastructure. You'll have the opportunity to remain technically engaged while taking a leading role with clients, projects, and developing engineers. Most importantly, we're looking for someone with breadth across power engineering who enjoys solving complex infrastructure problems and working across traditional discipline boundaries.

Why Jacobs?

This role offers something different from a narrowly defined power engineering position. You'll have the opportunity to apply your electrical expertise across a diverse infrastructure portfolio, work alongside specialists from multiple engineering disciplines and take a leading role in shaping solutions from early concept through to delivery.

You’ll be part of Jacobs' broader engineering network, providing opportunities to collaborate with teams across Australia and internationally while continuing to build your technical and leadership career.

If you're an experienced power engineer looking for greater project diversity, technical influence and the opportunity to work across some of Australia's most complex infrastructure environments, we'd like to hear from you.

Here's what you'll do

• Lead electrical engineering and design across LV, MV and HV infrastructure, typically from 415V to 66kV
• Develop electrical distribution and power system solutions for complex infrastructure environments
• Work across equipment and systems including switchgear, transformers, substations, protection and associated electrical infrastructure
• Lead design reviews, technical assurance and multidisciplinary engineering interfaces
• Work directly with clients to understand their challenges and develop practical engineering solutions
• Lead technical packages and coordinating engineering inputs across multidisciplinary projects
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to developing engineers
• Supporting proposals, project development and strategic client engagement

Here's what you'll need

• Electrical engineering experience across LV, MV and/or HV power infrastructure
• Experience designing and delivering electrical distribution systems and associated infrastructure
• Strong knowledge across areas such as switchgear, transformers, substations, protection, power systems or electrical reticulation
• Experience providing technical leadership on multidisciplinary projects
• The ability to engage with clients and translate complex requirements into practical engineering solutions
• Knowledge of relevant Australian standards and engineering practices
• Experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to other engineers
