Who We Are: NEN Consulting is an Australian utilities and infrastructure consultancy. We help major Australian infrastructure projects and property developments de-risk their utilities engagement, from grid connections and high voltage engineering to data centre power, private and embedded networks, and public lighting design. Our team of engineers, consultants and designers bring over 100 years of combined industry experience, and we're proud to be nimble enough to stay genuinely hands-on with every client and project.
The Opportunity: You'll take ownership of HV network design — including transformer specification and primary substation design — across major infrastructure and utilities projects, from design through to construction and commissioning. Reporting to our Engineering Manager, you'll manage assigned work packages, support tendering and fee proposals, and work closely with senior engineers, project managers and clients to deliver safe, compliant and reliable outcomes.
What you'll be doing:
- Design and review HV electrical networks, transformers and substation layouts
- Prepare engineering designs, calculations and specifications to relevant codes and standards
- Manage assigned work packages from design through to commissioning
- Support project planning, budgeting and technical risk management
- Provide technical input into tenders and fee proposals
- Liaise with clients, contractors and internal teams
What you'll bring:
- 5+ years' experience in electrical engineering and project delivery, with demonstrated HV network and transformer design experience
- Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical); CPEng or eligibility (NER/RPEV) preferred
- Strong working knowledge of electrical codes, standards and regulatory frameworks
- An analytical, self-motivated problem-solver who thrives in dynamic delivery environments
- Highly developed communication skills and the ability to work across cross-functional teams
Why NEN: A genuine opportunity to help shape NEN's growing HV substation and grid connections practice, with exposure to major Australian infrastructure projects such as data centres and utilities projects from day one, and a close, experienced team genuinely invested in your development.
