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.

  • Deliver the core power systems studies that underpin HV substation design
  • Perform load flow and short circuit studies
  • Complete insulation coordination and TRV studies
  • Perform arc flash, harmonic and power quality assessments
  • Assess transformer loading and system balancing
  • Develop detailed power system models using DIgSILENT PowerFactory
  • Interpret study results and provide recommendations that directly inform substation design and equipment selection
  • Prepare technical reports, calculations and study findings
  • Provide engineering support through design, construction and commissioning
What we’re looking for
