Job description

PLUS ES is entering an exciting new chapter. As it continues its journey as a leader in metering and data services, it is building smarter infrastructure solutions at the intersection of technology, service and sustainability, powering the energy and resource transition across Australia. This is an opportunity to help shape what PLUS ES becomes next, with a commitment to delivering the reliable, accurate data and insights a sustainable energy future depends on.

PLUS ES’s mission is to deliver smarter infrastructure and data to enable a sustainable tomorrow, and its vision is to keep innovating today for tomorrow’s energy challenges. Its values are Safety, Team, Customer, Innovation and Accountability.

About the Role

Lead engineering assurance for complex metering solutions spanning hardware, firmware, communications, data and operations. Reporting to the Metering Assets and Compliance Lead, you will define technical requirements, test strategies and release criteria, with a specialist focus on high-voltage and instrument-transformer-operated metering.

Based in Melbourne or Sydney, you will work with field and laboratory teams, suppliers, customers and technology specialists. You will mentor engineers, engineering officers and review technical work without direct reports, helping turn complex investigations into safer, more repeatable practice.

Key Responsibilities

Lead complex investigations, solution design and solution-level technical risk assessment.

Define release-test strategies, acceptance criteria, commissioning evidence and operational-readiness controls.

Develop and govern reusable engineering scripts, automation, data queries and analytics.

Resolve HV metering and instrument-transformer-operated systems issues, reviewing CT/VT test methods, uncertainty budgets and traceability.

Review engineering work, mentor colleagues and provide technical advice to customers, suppliers and delivery teams.

About You

You bring a relevant engineering or technical tertiary qualification, or equivalent demonstrated industry experience, and substantial experience in metering, measurement, instrumentation, communications, laboratory assurance or a comparable regulated technical environment.

You have led complex investigations and technical-risk assessments and can define test strategies, interface requirements and defensible measurement evidence. Advanced scripting, automation or analytics capability and technical leadership through mentoring, review or multidisciplinary delivery are essential, alongside experience resolving complex field or laboratory issues involving HV metering, instrument transformers, power-quality/FCAS measurement or installation performance.

Advanced metering standards or NATA knowledge, CT/VT accuracy-testing and uncertainty-budget experience, and exposure to emerging energy technologies are desirable. You communicate complex options clearly and balance safety, compliance and commercial considerations.

Why Apply?

Bring specialist measurement expertise to technically demanding work with real field and customer impact. Influence engineering quality, reusable automation and the capability of colleagues while supporting reliable energy infrastructure.

This organisation is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all backgrounds.
