Job Description

How you’ll make a difference. Play a leading role in the delivery of electrical engineering design packages for a variety of interesting projects ranging from underground copper/gold hard rock mining to transport and water infrastructure projects. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will apply your technical expertise across the full project lifecycle, from concept through to detailed design and construction support with minimal supervision. You will be a key technical contributor within a multidisciplinary consulting team, taking ownership of complex electrical designs including:

• Surface and underground material handling, ventilation systems, fixed plant, and associated infrastructure typical of hard rock metalliferous mining environments
• Intelligent transport system and lighting designs for transport infrastructure projects
• Pump stations and water/waste-water plants for a range of water infrastructure projects

Skills

• Produce/Lead the delivery of detailed electrical designs, equipment layouts, and engineering drawings using AutoCAD, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards, client specifications, and applicable regulations and codes
• Develop and manage 3D plant models and coordinate discipline clash detection using Navisworks or equivalent federated modelling tools
• Apply an understanding of underground hard rock mining systems including ore handling (crushers, conveyor systems, ore passes, winders/hoists), dewatering, ventilation systems, workshops and fixed plant
• Interpret mechanical, civil, and structural interfaces to produce fully coordinated electrical designs appropriate for underground environments
• Manage and control drawing registers, model deliverables, and document workflows
• Participate in internal design reviews, checking your own and junior staff work for technical accuracy, constructability, and compliance prior to issue
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to cadet and intermediate designers within the team
• Liaise directly with project engineers, project managers, and client representatives to manage design deliverables, resolve technical queries, and ensure on-time delivery
• Develop and maintain equipment libraries for electrical equipment

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously on complex electrical design tasks with minimal direction from senior engineers
• Strong understanding electrical design principles
• Familiarity with underground hard rock mining operations, equipment, and the practical constraints of designing for confined, remote, and hazardous environments would be advantageous
• High proficiency in 2D drafting and 3D modelling with a consistent record of low error rates and thorough self-checking
• Collaborative and communicative, with the confidence to challenge design assumptions and raise technical concerns constructively
• Minimum 5-10 years of electrical drafting and design experience in a CAD environment
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD experience is essential. Experience with Microstation and/or Revit would be well regarded
• Demonstrated experience producing deliverables across all design stages (Pre-Feasibility, Feasibility, Detailed Design, and Construction)
