This is a hands-on project delivery role with a leading global firm specialising in cutting-edge solar, battery storage (BESS), and wind projects. My client is seeking a dedicated Senior Project Engineer to ensure the successful, safe, and compliant construction of high-voltage infrastructure across various sites.

The Opportunity

You will be integral to the delivery of large-scale renewable energy substation, BESS, and wind projects across Australia. This role involves a strategic mix of office-based engineering and hands-on site presence (FIFO required), working closely with multidisciplinary teams, contractors, and key stakeholders to drive project milestones forward.

Key Responsibilities & Project Delivery

This position requires a high degree of technical ownership and documentation management, including:

• Contract Management: Develop comprehensive subcontract scopes of work and review Request for Quotation (RFQ) submissions.

• Technical Oversight: Take ownership of the Request for Information (RFI) process and ensure the accuracy of redline drawings.

• Safety & Compliance: Actively participate in design reviews, including safety in design, and attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and site inspections.

• Execution: Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget, and built exactly to specification.

What We Are Looking For

We need a highly capable Project Engineer with a proven track record in high-voltage environments and large-scale infrastructure.

Essential Qualifications and Experience:

• Qualification: Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering.

• Project Experience: Proven experience as a Project Engineer delivering large-scale energy projects. Prior experience with HV Substations, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or Wind Farms is highly desirable.

• Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of HV/LV systems, grid connections, and Balance of Plant (BOP) design and construction.

• Logistics: Willingness and ability to FIFO (Fly-In, Fly-Out) or DIDO to project sites across Australia as required.
