  • Providing holistic electrical engineering input across system studies, design assurance and safety-critical decision-making.
  • Supporting construction, installation, commissioning and operations, including condition monitoring and asset management.
  • Contributing to safety and assurance activities (e.g., HAZOP, HAZAN, FMEA), test witnessing, and design reviews.
  • Some travel to client sites and secure facilities will be required.
About you

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or Electronical and Electronic Engineering (or related) with progress toward (or interest in) professional registration.
  • A developing understanding of delivering electrical engineering design in regulated or complex environments, working as part of a team executing multidisciplinary design engineering projects.
