What if your next project was also your launchpad into leadership?

You’ve probably heard promises like this before… and you’re still waiting.

The difference? This role is designed from day one with a clear pathway into leadership - not just a possibility, but a plan.

This is a career-defining opportunity. You will be the first renewable design engineer in the business, building a new function from the ground up. As projects scale, this role is intended to progress into a Team Leader position, heading up the Renewables Division and shaping the company’s future in clean energy.

• Be the first hire in a growing renewables function, with influence over how it’s built.
• Gain experience across the full lifecycle - from feasibility to commissioning.
• Develop your leadership skills and position yourself as a future Team Leader in the Renewables Division.

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.
