Senior Electrical Engineer - Renewables

• Technical Leadership & Influence: An opportunity to shape engineering outcomes, influence technical decisions and lead project delivery rather than simply execute designs.
• Major Energy Transition Projects: Gain exposure to significant renewable energy, utility-scale BESS, wind generation and HV infrastructure projects supporting Australia's energy future.
• Flexibility & Global Opportunities: Enjoy flexible working arrangements while benefiting from the expertise, resources and career opportunities of a leading global engineering organisation.
