Based in Bentley and reporting to the Planning Manager, you'll sit within a high-performing Future Energy team responsible for planning and developing power systems that serve regional and remote communities across WA's vast 2.3 million km² network. This is serious engineering work with real-world impact at scale.
Your day-to-day will span:
- Power system load flow, dispatch and dynamic modelling (RMS and EMT)
- Renewable Energy Connection Assessments
- Short to Medium Term Capacity Planning and Load and Circuit Development
- Technical evaluation of DER integration and emerging grid technologies
- Financial analysis of feasible network solutions
- Maintaining system planning models and upholding planning standards
- Mentoring and knowledge sharing within the team
This is a rare and genuinely exciting opportunity to take on a senior technical role where your work will directly shape how power is planned, built and delivered to communities across one of the most geographically unique energy networks in the world.
You're a technically capable and commercially minded engineer who enjoys solving complex problems. You'll bring:
- A relevant Engineering Degree, with Chartered Engineers Australia membership highly regarded
- Strong experience in energy system planning across generation, transmission and/or distribution
- Advanced power system modelling capability across RMS, EMT, load flow and dispatch studies
- A solid understanding of renewable energy and inverter-based generation technologies
- Experience using PowerFactory would be highly regarded
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
