Job description

Enemix are collaborating with a leading consultancy in Australia to find a highly skilled and motivated Senior or Lead Secondary Systems Engineer to join their dynamic and fast-growing team. This role offers an incredible opportunity for an experienced professional to take ownership of secondary systems design and delivery across a diverse portfolio of live projects. By joining this team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the consultancy's secondary engineering function and contribute to innovative projects in the energy and infrastructure sectors.

This role can be based in Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane, offering you the flexibility to work from a location best suited to your career and personal life.

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

• Designing protection and control systems across transmission and distribution networks.
• Developing HV substation secondary designs, including SCADA, metering, and communications systems.
• 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

• Direct Access to Leadership: Work closely with an experienced engineering lead who is committed to hands-on mentoring and brings a wealth of global infrastructure expertise.
• Collaborative Team Environment: Become part of a young, ambitious, and fast-moving team, free from the constraints of rigid hierarchies and siloed structures.
• Career Growth Opportunities: Play a central role in shaping and developing the secondary engineering function within a scaling business.
• Balance and Security: Enjoy the benefits of being part of an international organization while maintaining the flexibility and agility of a fast-paced consultancy.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and delivery of secondary systems for high-voltage substations and grid connection projects.
• Collaborate with clients, utilities, and NSPs to ensure project requirements are met.
• 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.

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.
• 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.

If you're a motivated and experienced Secondary Systems Engineer eager to deliver innovative projects within a forward-thinking consultancy, we'd love to hear from you! Embrace this opportunity to shape the future of energy and infrastructure while advancing your career in a supportive and fast-paced environment.
