We’re looking for a highly skilled and independent Senior Electrical / Renewable Energy Engineer to join our client’s renewable energy team. This is a full-time, remote role where you’ll play a key part in delivering utility-scale Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across Australia. If you thrive in a technical, hands-on environment and enjoy collaborating directly with Australian project managers, EPCs, and clients, this opportunity is for you.

Your Client:

Join a leading renewable energy engineering contractor specializing in utility-scale solar and BESS projects across Australia and the APAC region. You’ll be part of a collaborative team delivering innovative, compliant, and high-quality engineering solutions while supporting the country’s transition to net-zero energy.

To be successful in this role, you must have experience with the following:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
Licensed Professional Electrical Engineer with valid PRC license number and ID.
7–10 years of electrical engineering experience, including 3+ years on Australian renewable energy projects.
Proven experience in utility-scale Solar Farm or BESS projects, including DC to MV detailed design.
Hands-on experience performing power system and protection studies (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination) using tools like DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, or CYME.
Experience with cable thermal modelling using CYMCAP and trench/underground reticulation design.
Knowledge of Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3008) and grid connection requirements.
Strong communication skills for collaboration with remote teams and international stakeholders.
Ability to mentor junior engineers and participate in technical discussions.
Applications without Australian utility-scale experience will not be considered.

Some of the activities you will be involved in will include:

Leading detailed electrical design for Solar Farm and BESS projects, including PV strings, inverter stations, LV AC and MV reticulation.
Performing power system studies, protection coordination, and relay settings calculations.
Conducting cable sizing and thermal modelling for DC, LV, and MV systems using CYMCAP.
Designing and reviewing substation layouts, MV switchgear, and transformer specifications.
Preparing electrical drawings, SLDs, calculations, and technical documentation in compliance with Australian standards.
Designing cable trenches and underground reticulation, coordinating with civil and structural teams.
Acting as a technical lead, reviewing work and mentoring junior engineers, while liaising with project stakeholders.

Benefits of working with us:

Day shift schedule
Fixed weekends off
Attractive salary package above local market rates
Long-term stable remote position with an Australian consultancy
