Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer – Design to support the delivery of mission-critical power infrastructure across data centers, industrial facilities, and large-scale energy environments.
This is a hands-on design role where you will take ownership of complex electrical engineering challenges from concept through to execution, working closely with customers, internal engineering teams, and manufacturing functions to deliver high-impact, high-reliability solutions.
You will play a key role in shaping electrical design standards, supporting project delivery, and contributing directly to winning new business through early-stage technical input.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead electrical design for mission-critical power systems (LV–MV)
- Produce single-line diagrams, schematics, equipment layouts, and technical specifications
- Support and lead multiple concurrent projects (up to ~15 at a time)
- Work directly with customers to develop, refine, and validate engineering solutions
- Contribute to early-stage design input to support bid and proposal activity
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure design intent is delivered into production
- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers
- Ensure designs meet safety, performance, and compliance standards
- Support continuous improvement of engineering processes and design standards
Requirements
- Strong experience in electrical design within mission-critical environments such as:
- Data centres
- Power plants
- Hospitals
- Airports
- Industrial or manufacturing facilities
- Ability to independently design electrical systems (not just review or redline work)
- Experience with LV–MV power distribution systems
- Proficiency in design tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks (or equivalent)
- Knowledge of protection and coordination systems (SEL relay experience advantageous)
- Strong client-facing communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously
- Strong problem-solving ability with a proactive, delivery-focused mindset
What Makes This Role Different
- High ownership from concept through to execution
- Direct customer interaction and solution development
- Fast-paced delivery environment with rapid turnaround expectations
- Real influence on major infrastructure projects and business growth
- Opportunity to shape engineering capability within a scaling organisation
What’s on Offer
- Opportunity to work on large-scale mission-critical projects ($1M–$200M+)
- Hybrid working environment
- Career progression into senior technical or leadership pathways
- Exposure to cutting-edge power infrastructure design
- High-impact role within a fast-growing engineering business
