What Makes This Role Different?
This is more than a traditional technical design role.
This is a senior technical role for an engineer who brings genuine depth in medium voltage power systems.
You'll provide technical leadership across complex projects, influence engineering solutions and design decisions, and act as a trusted technical adviser to clients and project teams.
Alongside your own technical delivery, you'll help strengthen MV capability across the broader electrical team through technical review, mentoring and knowledge sharing, with access to HDR's international mission critical and power expertise.
What You’ll Bring
We're looking for an experienced electrical engineer with consulting experience and significant medium voltage engineering experience.
Strong technical capability in medium voltage systems is essential, including experience across areas such as:
Design and delivery of 11kV–66kV electrical infrastructure and power distribution systems
Mission critical or data centre projects
Substation and network-connected infrastructure
Detailed MV protection and control design
Protection coordination and protection studies
Power system modelling and analysis
Technical review, design assurance and resolution of complex MV engineering issues
Development and review of technical specifications and engineering documentation
Providing technical guidance and mentoring to other engineers
Working directly with clients, utilities and multidisciplinary project teams
Experience with ETAP, SKM, PSCAD, PowerCad or similar platforms will be highly regarded.
