A well-established consulting engineering practice with a strong footprint in power infrastructure is strengthening its senior technical capability. This opportunity is suited to a seasoned Heavy Current Electrical Engineer who operates confidently in high-voltage construction environments and who brings both technical depth and professional credibility to complex infrastructure projects. This is not an entry-level or purely design-office role. It requires mature judgement, project accountability, and the ability to engage across multidisciplinary teams.

  • HV Substation Design and Execution (132/88 kV and similar)
  • HV Overhead Line Design and Execution (132/88 kV and similar)
  • MV and LV Reticulation Design and Execution

  • Structural and Civil components associated with substation platforms and foundations
Experience and Professional Standing
  • Minimum of 8+ years relevant experience within construction-driven project environments
  • Registered Professional Engineer (Pr Eng)
  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office
  • Exposure to MS Projects, Retic Master, Bentley MicroStation or similar design software will be advantageous
Professional Profile
  • Technically decisive and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable taking ownership within high-value infrastructure projects
  • Flexible and willing to contribute across broader office requirements when necessary
  • Valid driver's license and own vehicle for site travel

This role is best suited to a senior engineer seeking meaningful project involvement within a technically respected environment rather than a routine consulting position.
