Job description

Own the program on HV substation EPC projects with a growing renewable energy grid connection specialist.

About Us
EPEC Group is a nationally recognised high-voltage engineering and EPC partner, providing HV power engineering, EPC (for substations, lines and BESS BoP), testing and compliance services, along with market modelling, SCADA and Hardware-in-the-Loop capability.
Since being founded in 2019, EPEC has grown rapidly to become a trusted delivery partner on some of Australia's most complex renewable energy projects, from 400 MW solar farms and 200 MW battery storage systems to 330 kV substations delivered for international developers entering the Australian market for the first time.
Founded by specialists in power system engineering, project delivery and generator compliance, our mission is to simplify the grid connection process and remove the uncertainty that costs projects time and money. We manage connections to the National Electricity Market (NEM) through end-to-end solutions, from pre-enquiry through to connection, registration, testing, compliance and commercial operations. What sets EPEC apart is that everything is delivered in-house: power system modelling, EPC construction, SCADA, commissioning and compliance testing, all under one roof and one point of accountability.
The Role
You will build, maintain and monitor the works programs for our EPC HV substation projects, keeping the team grounded in what is realistic and a step ahead of anything that could put delivery at risk. You will sit between design, procurement and construction and will also help our bid team build tender programs.
This is a permanent role based in our new South Brisbane office, with travel to project sites as required.
Responsibilities

• Build and maintain schedules for EPC projects that line up with contractual milestones and deliverables
• Break project scope into logical tasks with realistic durations and sequencing
• Work with design engineers to anticipate delays, track material lead times with procurement and adjust the program with construction managers when site conditions or resourcing change
• Track progress against the baseline, analyse deviations and raise risks early with options to recover time
• Run schedule risk analysis covering material shortages, weather, design changes and workforce constraints, then work with the project team on mitigation
• Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to forecast deliveries and workforce availability
• Prepare lookahead plans, schedule reports and delay analysis for senior management and stakeholders
• Support claims and variations with clear, evidence-based schedule analysis
• Develop pre-contract and tender programs with the bid team and provide input to estimates during the proposal phase
• Keep improving how we schedule by applying lessons learned and better tools

About You

• 3+ years of project scheduling experience, ideally on HV substation, transmission, power orinfrastructure projects
• Experience with EPC project delivery, including design, procurement and construction sequencing
• A solid grasp of project management methods, tools and best practice
• Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to build relationships at every level
• Confidence working with and influencing cross-functional teams
• Comfortable with shifting priorities, ambiguity and pressure
• Class C driver's licence and General Construction Induction
• Primavera P6 or Project Scheduling Professional (PSP) certification would be desirable
