• Support the design and delivery of solar PV projects across commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications.
• Develop and review electrical designs, including SLDs, layouts, schematics, cable schedules, and system configurations.
• Perform system modelling, load calculations, cable sizing, energy yield assessments, and performance optimisation.
• Support projects through the full lifecycle, from feasibility and concept design through to construction, commissioning, and handover.
• Provide technical support during procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning phases.
• Coordinate with internal teams, contractors, suppliers, and clients to resolve technical issues and support project delivery.
• Ensure designs and project activities comply with Australian Standards, grid connection requirements, client specifications, and WHS requirements.
• Support QA/QC processes, including inspections, testing, documentation, defect close-out, and handover requirements.
• Identify practical design improvements, efficiencies, and value engineering opportunities.

About You

You are a motivated and practical engineer with experience in solar PV design, project engineering, or renewable energy project delivery.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3–5 years’ experience in solar PV design, implementation, or project engineering.
• Experience working on commercial, industrial, or utility-scale solar projects.
• Strong understanding of solar PV systems, grid connection interfaces, and electrical design principles.
• Experience preparing or reviewing SLDs, layouts, calculations, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Proficiency in design and modelling tools such as PVSyst, AutoCAD, Helioscope, or similar.
• Knowledge of Australian Standards, WHS requirements, and renewable energy compliance obligations.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder coordination skills.
• Ability to work across office-based engineering and site-based project support.
• Willingness to travel to project sites as required.

Desirable

• Experience with utility-scale solar farms.
• Experience with battery energy storage systems.
• Clean Energy Council accreditation or equivalent industry accreditation.
• Knowledge of National Electricity Rules and grid connection processes.
• Experience with QA/QC, commissioning, defect close-out, and project handover documentation.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary package, reviewed annually.
