You’ll bring an electrical engineering foundation and strong experience in grid advisory, energy, infrastructure or related consulting environments. You will have done the technical work, understand what good looks like, and be ready to guide others, shape strategy and influence clients.

We’re looking for someone with:

• A tertiary qualification in electrical engineering.
• Strong grid advisory, network planning, grid connection or regulated network experience, ideally in the Australian market.
• Exceptional communication, presentation, stakeholder engagement, teamwork and report-writing skills.
• Consulting, project leadership or team leadership experience, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams.

• Exposure to areas such as feasibility studies, concept design, unregulated connection assets, infrastructure cost benchmarks, power generation and storage technologies, emerging energy technologies, electricity markets or risk assessment.
