At Downer Rail and Transit Systems, we are redefining what it means to be a subject matter expert who can materially drive and support the growth plans within RTS’s new Engineering Consulting Services. This is not a legacy role or a technical advisory seat for the late stage of a career. This is a forward-leaning, high-impact position at the heart of our commercial and delivery strategy. We’re building a team of elite, high-performing Principal Engineers— professional engineers who thrive in complex environments, earn their place through performance, and are relentless in pursuit of expanding existing opportunities, creating new opportunities and striving for technical excellence.
About the role
We have a great opportunity for a Principal Electrical Engineer to join our team. You will lead the development, coordination, and delivery of complex, multi-disciplinary rail and transit systems across engineering consultancy engagements and large projects. You will play a pivotal role in securing strategic and technically complex work, expanding existing engagements and leading programs across Australia’s rail and transit sector and our new / emerging markets, which may be outside of our shores.
You will be trusted to shape solutions, build enduring client relationships, and drive technical and commercial outcomes from the front line. This is a role where leadership, customer focus, and delivery excellence intersect.
