What You’ll Do

• Conduct site assessments, develop layouts, perform solar yield modelling (PVsyst), and size solar arrays, inverters, and BESS.
• Prepare grid connection applications (AEMO/DNSP), carry out grid studies (load flow, short circuit, fault level, harmonic, PSCAD), and ensure compliance with AS/NZS standards, DNSP rules, and safety requirements.
• Deliver concept, detailed, and IFC designs including SLDs, protection schemes, SCADA integration, inverter and MSB configurations, and civil interface coordination.
• Provide technical input during procurement and construction, resolve RFIs, support commissioning/testing, and produce O&M documentation.
• Establish design templates and QA processes, contribute technical expertise to proposals, and help mentor future engineers as the renewables team grows.

What You Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (mandatory).
• Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) / NER / RPEQ preferred, or working towards. 3–5+ years of direct renewable design experience (solar farms, BESS, hybrid systems), ideally on the VEDN Network.
• Proven delivery of utility-scale projects (≥5 MW).
• Proficiency in PVsyst, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, PSCAD, and AutoCAD.
• Strong knowledge of Australian Standards and DNSP requirements.
• Experience collaborating with utilities, regulators, and EPC contractors.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to establish new processes and frameworks.
• Team player who enjoys mentoring and supporting others.

Senior Engineering Project Manager

Project Manager 10+ Years Exp
Job Location: Adelaide, SA

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Engineering Project Manager to take ownership of major engineering and manufacturing projects while also managing a portfolio of smaller ones. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll run the full project lifecycle from planning and fabrication through to installation and handover. Success means delivering on quality, safety, budget, and timelines every single time.

This position has opened because our existing team, while technically strong, cannot dedicate the focus required for detailed scheduling and delivery. We need someone who thrives on structure, accountability, and results. If you bring both deep project management expertise and a mechanical engineering background, this is your chance to step into a role where you’ll make an immediate impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the delivery of two large ongoing projects while keeping multiple smaller ones moving forward at the same time, often ten or more in total.

Create, update, and manage project schedules using MS Project as your central tool, producing clear Gantt charts and progress reports.

Keep projects on track by identifying risks early, resolving bottlenecks quickly, and ensuring milestones are met.

Coordinate and motivate a team of up to twelve people, including engineers, drafting specialists, junior project managers, process engineers, a workshop manager, and workshop staff.

Use your mechanical engineering expertise to oversee assemblies and sub-assemblies, making sure manufacturing processes run smoothly.

Work closely with suppliers, vendors, and contractors while ensuring safety, compliance, and quality are never compromised.

Take ownership of budgets, monitor costs, forecast resources, and deliver projects on time and on budget.

Start with a structured orientation to learn our technology and workflows, then hit the ground running with full ownership of outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.

At least ten years of experience in project management and mechanical engineering across industrial, manufacturing, or clean-technology sectors.

Deep experience with MS Project, using it for scheduling, reporting, and program management.

Proven ability to deliver large engineering or manufacturing projects while managing multiple concurrent streams of work.

Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence, push back when necessary, and keep momentum across teams and suppliers.

High attention to detail, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to manage priorities under pressure.

Solid understanding of safety, environmental, and quality standards in industrial settings.

What’s On Offer

The chance to lead high-impact projects that shape the future of advanced engineering and manufacturing.

A role with real ownership and influence over decision-making.

Work with a collaborative, highly skilled engineering team in a supportive environment where your expertise is valued.

Opportunities for growth and to build a long-term career in a company that is investing in innovation and delivery excellence.

Ready to Apply?

If you are an experienced Project Manager with a strong mechanical engineering background and the drive to deliver complex, high-value projects, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and take the next step in leading cutting-edge engineering projects.

Senior Software Team Leader

Software Team Lead 10+ Years Exp
Job Location: Melbourne, Victoria

Our client is looking for a Senior Software Engineer with leadership capability to help drive the next evolution of their embedded systems platform. This role isn’t just about clean code, it’s about team direction, system-level thinking, and preparing to take the reins as part of a long-term succession plan.

You’ll lead the software team, ensure delivery of complex embedded systems, and bring a calm, mature presence to an engineering team that values structure, thoughtful planning, and real-world execution.

This is the ideal move for a senior engineer who still enjoys hands-on development but is ready to step into team leadership and cross-functional planning.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead a small team of embedded software engineers working on tightly integrated hardware-software products

  • Own software architecture and delivery plans across firmware, drivers, and middleware layers

  • Drive structured development practices (primarily waterfall/V-model) across the full lifecycle

  • Mentor and develop junior engineers while keeping a strong handle on delivery quality and timing

  • Collaborate with electronics, systems, and mechanical engineers to ensure architectural alignment

  • Engage in succession planning, with the potential to grow into a broader engineering manager role

What We’re Looking For

Our client isn’t chasing Agile evangelists or startup heroes. They want a grounded, experienced engineer who understands the real-world trade-offs of embedded delivery and enjoys bringing order to complexity.

Required:

  • Strong embedded systems background — C/C++ for microcontrollers, real-time systems, peripherals, and constrained environments

  • Experience delivering systems in regulated or high-reliability industries (e.g. medtech, industrial, instrumentation)

  • Comfortable with structured software development, waterfall or V-model (Agile is fine, but not your only playbook)

  • Ability to lead small teams, mentor less experienced developers, and maintain delivery accountability

  • Strong system architecture capability, you see beyond your code and care about product-wide implications

  • Emotional intelligence, maturity, and the ability to work well across a range of personalities

What Happened Before You

The outgoing team lead was technically excellent and a capable mentor, but didn’t enjoy the leadership side of the role. He preferred hands-on coding over system-level planning and leaned heavily on Agile practices that didn’t align with the structured development model in place. Ultimately, he opted out of project coordination and planning responsibilities.

This creates space for someone with balance — strong technically, but also structured, delivery-focused, and ready to lead.

Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just a senior dev role. It’s a foundational hire tied directly to our client’s long-term engineering leadership succession. If you’ve ever wanted to step into more strategic leadership without giving up the engineering you love, this is the opportunity.

You’ll help shape how the team delivers complex systems — not just now, but for years to come.

Why Join Them?

  • Engineering-led mindset – They respect the build process. Real timelines, real structure, no fluff.

  • Leadership runway - This role has clear progression into broader engineering management

  • Tight-knit, cross-functional team - Your decisions will ripple across real products, not get buried in a sprint backlog

  • Clarity, not chaos - No constant pivots. The team builds structured systems that work — and plans them properly.
