What will you do? 

We have an opportunity for a Senior Electrical Engineer – Buildings to join our Perth, WA team.

A key part of this role is supporting Defence-related projects, where security requirements may apply.

Proven experience delivering electrical building services design in Australia across complex buildings (health, resources, commercial, defence or similar). 

Strong technical capability across LV power distribution, essential/non-essential systems, backup power (generators), UPS, protection/coordination interfaces, earthing, and compliance-driven design. 

Experience with lighting design (incl. emergency/egress), and coordination of electrical services within constrained building environments. 

Working knowledge of relevant Australian Standards and the NCC (e.g., AS/NZS 3000 and associated building services standards/guidelines). 

Proficiency in common design tools (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD, power/lighting calculation tools such as SKM/ETAP, PowerCAD, AGi32 or similar). 

Confidence leading packages, undertaking design reviews, managing interfaces, and mentoring junior engineers.
