- Collaborate with EPC contractors, equipment OEMs, and NSPs to meet project requirements, ensuring compliance with Australian standards and grid connection protocols.
- Lead the electrical design of substations, including high-voltage and medium-voltage equipment layout, protection schemes, and control systems.
- Perform electrical design calculations, such as cable sizing, fault current analysis, protection coordination, and power flow analysis.
- Review and create detailed technical drawings, including single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical schematics, and substation layouts.
- Provide technical support during construction phases, including site visits, inspections, and troubleshooting.
- Liaise with utility providers and regulatory authorities to ensure project compliance with grid connection rules and standards.
- Conduct system studies, such as load flow analysis, fault level calculation, and network impact assessments.
- Manage stakeholder communication and ensure all design and engineering deliverables are completed within project timelines and budgets.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Minimum 5-7 years of experience in electrical design for renewable energy projects, including grid-tied and off-grid systems.
