Senior Electrical Engineer, Substation

A top-ranked power engineering consultancy is hiring a senior electrical engineer to take on a technical specialist or project lead role across substation design and EPC work up to 765kV, including newer data centre and renewables-integration programs.

765kV substation work is where a short list of firms actually compete, and this is one of them. Beyond the core utility book, the group is now feeding some of the largest data centre and renewables-integration programs in the market, so the project variety here is real.

• Prepare engineering calculations and studies, and lead QA/QC review of design packages
• Mentor less experienced engineers and support proposals and business development

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering plus 11+ years of substation design experience
• Deep experience in high-voltage substation physical and/or protection & control design
• Comfortable owning design budgets, schedules, and client-facing communication
• PE license strongly preferred

Benefits

• Recognised technical specialist or project lead track on the highest voltage classes in the industry
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, employer-matched retirement, and tuition reimbursement
• An annual performance bonus on top of base pay
