  • Witnessing and validating test results for compliance with design and regulatory requirements
  • Troubleshooting and resolving faults to keep systems safe and operational
  • Driving HSE compliance across all commissioning activities including permit-to-work systems
  • Preparing commissioning reports, test certificates and handover documentation
  • Verifying installations meet Australian standards (AS/NZS 3000) and design intent
What You'll Need
  • Electrical Trade Certificate or Degree in Electrical Engineering
  • WA Electrical Licence
  • 10+ years' experience in electrical commissioning on iron ore or heavy industrial projects
  • Strong knowledge of electrical systems, protection schemes and commissioning practices
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, single-line diagrams and technical specs
  • Proven leadership in FIFO environments with remote site experience
  • Solid communication and stakeholder engagement skills
What'll Set You Apart
  • HV Switching Ticket
