The Power Business

Our energy future is being transformed by technological innovations that will deliver more sustainable outcomes, bringing greater energy security, and affordability to energy communities.

This role is to support the growing power team who work throughout Australasia on iconic projects that are shaping the energy transition journey to net-zero carbon emissions. We deliver innovative technical solutions to our high voltage power generation, transmission, and distribution clients across Australasia.

The Opportunity

With a strong pipeline of exciting projects, our team is growing. We are looking for an experienced Protection (Power) Engineer to bolster our technical capability to deliver high voltage substation designs to an enviable list of transmission and distribution clients.
