Join a business that develops, builds, owns, and operates energy systems, including hybrid (gas and renewable) and renewable (renewable) systems, waste processing, bioenergy, and infrastructure for waste recovery. South Korea, Japan, and Australia are the main subjects of attention.

We are seeking a Grid Connection Engineer for an Infrastructure Developer based in Melbourne. The ideal candidate should have experience in electrical engineering for wind energy. This person will support the design, development, construction, commissioning, and operation of renewable energy assets such as wind, solar, battery, hydrogen, biomass, and waste to energy.

The company is located in Melbourne, Victoria.

What’s in it for you:

• Rub shoulders with senior and experienced engineers
• Work with a fast-growing company 
• A setting focused on people
• Competitive pay package including long-term incentive (LTI) plans and yearly bonuses (STI).
• Perquisites like daily catering and health insurance
• Opportunities for career advancement
• Conferences, seminars, and training for professional growth
• Culture: a friendly and cooperative work atmosphere

What you’ll do:

• Provide technical, commercial, and contractual support for both new and current grid connections—including those for wind—by hiding the Grid Connection Manager (GCM) from external consultants.
• Assist with technical workstreams about the administration of specialized consultants for new grid connections.
• Provide contractual, commercial, and technical support for all existing and new grid connections, including wind-related ones, while keeping the Grid Connection Manager (GCM) hidden from outside consultants.
• Provide support for technical workstreams related to managing specialized consultants for new grid connection installations.
• Assist GCM with the external network modelling work needed to establish a grid link.
• Guide efficient interface management and collaborate with internal and external partners to support the management of the technical and commercial operations related to high-voltage transmission systems (e.g., with the investment team, legal, and finance teams).
• Encourage the growth of the team as a whole by disseminating knowledge about grid connections and HV designs that are suitable for the applicable team or audience, such as the development, delivery, and operations teams as well as the larger engineering function within the company.
• Assist with the discovery, assessment, and management of risks influencing the design and connectivity aspects of development, delivery, and any generation assets by offering advice and assistance as needed.
• Conduct an initial evaluation of the limitations imposed by system strength and capacity; assist in the development of technical designs; and supply technical inputs needed to support commercial agreements, such as connection prices and schedules.
• Spreading information on grid connections and HV designs appropriate for the relevant team or audience—that is, the development, delivery, and operations teams as well as the greater engineering function within the company—will foster the team's overall growth.

What you’ll need:

• A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• Possessing two to three years of expertise in electrical engineering and grid connections for wind energy, or having worked on wind farms with an OAM or EPC
• Exhibited expertise in the planning, building, and management of assets related to generating, transmission, and distribution. 
• Knowledge of the principles and requirements for grid integration in renewable energy projects. 
• Solid comprehension of the National Electricity Market, including its risks and drivers.
• Familiarity with the National Electricity Rules, the prerequisites for connections, and the responsibilities and rights of connecting generators.
• Proven track record in creating and executing engagement plans tailored to important stakeholders.
• Technical background in solar, wind, and BESS projects. 
• Prior experience working on related projects as an engineering consultant, contractor, utility, or key equipment supplier.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the capacity to collaborate with stakeholders, regulators, contractors, NSPs, and colleagues in both technical and non-technical fields.
• Experience with substations and high-voltage wires would be favourable.
