Lead the people. Shape the projects. Influence the future.

We're partnering with a highly regarded engineering business delivering complex electrical, automation and control systems projects across critical infrastructure, utilities, energy, transport and industrial sectors.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced engineering leader who enjoys developing people just as much as delivering great technical outcomes.

You’ll take ownership of a growing design function, providing leadership, direction and mentoring to a team of engineers while remaining involved in the delivery of complex electrical engineering projects. If you're someone who can inspire a team, build strong client relationships and drive quality project outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

Team leadership experience is a critical requirement for the role, and you will be required to demonstrate this capability.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading, mentoring and developing a team of electrical design engineers

Driving a culture of accountability, collaboration and technical excellence

Managing the delivery of engineering designs to agreed scope, budget and schedule

Working closely with clients and stakeholders to define and refine project requirements

Supporting the successful delivery of complex electrical, automation and control systems projects

Providing technical leadership and guidance across the project lifecycle

What We’re Looking For

Demonstrated experience leading and managing engineering teams

Strong background in electrical design engineering at a senior or principal level

Experience delivering projects within sectors such as energy, utilities, transport, manufacturing, resources or industrial automation

Excellent stakeholder engagement and client management skills

Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering

Eligibility for engineering registration in South Australia

Australian Citizenship is required

Why This Role?

This is more than a technical leadership position.

You’ll join a business with a strong project pipeline, a reputation for engineering excellence and a genuine need for a leader who can bring structure, direction and mentorship to an established team.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence engineering standards, develop capability within the team and play a key role in shaping future project delivery.

If you’re a respected engineering leader ready for your next challenge in Adelaide, we’d love to have a confidential conversation.
