In this role, you will be part of an international team of highly experienced electrical engineering specialists who together design and deliver a range of critical Power primary, substation and infrastructure-related projects. You will gain wide-ranging experience through leading and working on a variety of project types that differ in scale, scope, geography, site and client types throughout Australia and New Zealand.

You will:

• Complete concept and detailed designs for High Voltage (HV 220kV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) for transmission and distribution clients using the latest in digital design technologies

• Solve problems and deliver solutions across a variety of site considerations, client requirements, standards, equipment specifications, cabling sizing, earthing design calculations, and safety standards

• Develop your technical expertise while supporting the delivery of high-quality technical advice and project designs to our clients

• Mentor, coach and develop the next generation of Power electrical engineers, helping them to undertake packages of work and supporting their on-the-job and technical training

• Contribute to and support delivery excellence, quality assurance, and high-quality design

• Develop skills across financial and programme outcomes for projects and work packages

• Support client management activities including bidding and the preparation of project proposals
  

Our design and project roles are busy, with multiple work projects, differing client deadlines and changing timeframes. Your ability to work across multiple workstreams managing your time and deliverables will be important, as will being able to adapt to changing project deliverables and timeframes. Updating stakeholders early and often will be a key mantra that you work by, especially for those ‘hard conversations’ where project timelines are at risk of not being met.

You will be part of a team of Beca’s leading design experts working collaboratively to deliver best-in-class designs. Career development opportunities exist including moving across technical, design, technology, people, client or business leadership pathways.

About You

You bring:

• Experience producing substation layouts, equipment lists, clearance checks, and HV cable designs

• Familiarity with Australian and New Zealand regulations

• Proficiency in CYMCAP, CDEGs, Autodesk SBS, Inventor, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and/or MicroStation (advantageous)

• Motivation to learn and grow within a team, managing multiple tasks with enthusiasm and a focus on outcomes

• Strong relationship-building and collaboration skills across functions and disciplines

• Passion for learning, engaging, and supporting others

• A positive attitude and a good sense of humour
