Senior Engineer, Power Transmission

In this position you will join the Aurecon Energy business, supporting the Power Transmission and Distribution SAVI team. You will play an integral role in a team of highly skilled specialists that 'bring ideas to life' for our clients who are driving the development of the power transmission network — from major inter-state interconnectors and new energy zone backbones to the connection of iconic nation-building projects to the grid.

• Lead and independently manage smaller power transmission and distribution projects as an Individual Contributor, overseeing all project phases from concept through detailed design to construction support.
• Perform hands-on structural design work using PLS software suite (PLS Tower, PLS Pole, and preferably PLS CAD), focusing on transmission tower and pole design, ensuring designs meet technical and regulatory standards.
• Utilize SpaceGass software where applicable to enhance structural analysis and design (considered a strong advantage).
• Apply strong structural engineering principles to develop safe, efficient, and compliant designs for power transmission infrastructure throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide engineering design support during construction phases, including resolving field issues and ensuring design adherence onsite.
• Collaborate internally with engineering teams to integrate structural designs with electrical or other disciplines as required.
• Prepare comprehensive engineering documentation, design calculations, reports, and construction support materials adhering to company standards and industry codes.
• Maintain technical accuracy and integrity of design deliverables with minimal oversight, focusing on detailed engineering tasks rather than design management.
• Support continuous improvement of design processes and software application within the team.
• Although client-facing interaction is not required, effectively communicate and coordinate with project stakeholders as needed.
• Participate in technical reviews and provide mentorship to junior engineers on software use, structural design, and construction support best practices.
