Position: Senior Power Systems Engineer
Location: Sydney
Salary: $160k-$190k base
Join a leading Australian EPC contractor with a strong in-house engineering team delivering major HV substation, transmission and renewable energy projects.
This is a specialist Power Systems role focused on the core studies and reports that underpin the detailed design of HV substations.
Rather than studying how different scenarios impact the wider network, you’ll be working directly alongside Primary, Secondary & Protection and LV Engineering teams, with your studies feeding into the design, equipment selection and delivery of their projects.
