As demand across electrification, building optimisation, and energy transition continues to grow, we’re looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our Building Services team.

This is an opportunity to work on meaningful projects that directly contribute to decarbonisation outcomes across existing buildings, live operational environments, tenancy fitouts, and infrastructure upgrades.

From electrification and lighting upgrades through to EV infrastructure, submetering, and building optimisation initiatives, you’ll play a hands‑on role delivering solutions that make a measurable impact.

You’ll join a business that combines technical capability with agility, commercial thinking, and a genuine focus on delivering actionable outcomes for clients.

Working within our Building Services team, you’ll support the delivery of electrical engineering projects across commercial, industrial, retail, education, health, and mixed‑use developments.

The role will see you involved across the full project lifecycle including investigations, audits, feasibility, design, documentation, stakeholder coordination, delivery support, and commissioning.

A significant focus of the role will be working within existing and live operational buildings, helping clients modernise infrastructure and transition toward more sustainable building operations.

You’ll work closely with clients, contractors, consultants, DNSPs, and internal engineering teams, becoming a trusted advisor through practical and technically sound solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver electrical engineering solutions across existing buildings, tenancy fitouts, and small‑scale new builds
• Support electrification and decarbonisation projects including gas‑to‑electric transitions and infrastructure upgrades
• Deliver lighting design and LED replacement programs
• Design and support submetering and energy monitoring solutions
• Support EV charging and renewable energy integration projects
• Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, specifications, and documentation packages
• Produce and coordinate drawings using AutoCAD
• Undertake site investigations and infrastructure condition assessments
• Coordinate with DNSPs regarding network availability and infrastructure requirements
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering and sustainability teams
• Support commissioning, defect resolution, and project closeout activities
• Build strong client relationships and contribute to ongoing business growth opportunities

About You

We’re looking for someone who is technically capable, commercially aware, and enjoys working closely with clients to solve real‑world challenges.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Degree qualifications in Electrical Engineering
• Professional Engineer Registration (NER, RPEQ, CPEng or equivalent), or actively working toward registration
• Experience within electrical building services or consulting engineering environments
• Experience working across existing building upgrades and live operational environments
• Strong understanding of electrical infrastructure and building systems
• Experience with lighting design, infrastructure upgrades, and submetering solutions
• AutoCAD capability
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive, collaborative, and solutions‑focused approach

Experience across electrification, energy transition, lighting, renewable energy, or EV infrastructure projects will be highly regarded.
