Own grid connections end-to-end — studies through to energisation | $200k+ | Booming renewables sector
RESA Group delivers testing, commissioning and O&M across the renewable energy sector, and demand has never been stronger. We're growing our grid connection capability and looking for a Senior Grid Connection Engineer to take new HV connections from application all the way to connected. This is a rare hands-on senior role for an engineer who can produce the technical studies AND verify them in the field — someone who owns the connection agreement process from concept to commissioning.
What you'll do:
- Lead the engineering to secure connection agreements with DNSPs/TNSPs (and AEMO where applicable) for new HV connections — import, export, or both
- Produce and sign off connection study packages: protection, earthing, power quality, fault level, load flow, frequency injection and (larger plant) stability/dynamic studies
- Manage GPS and R0/R1/R2 compliance through modelling, validation and commissioning
- Negotiate technical schedules of connection agreements with network operators
- Perform/oversee on-site verification & commissioning — soil resistivity testing, earth grid/GPR verification, protection relay commissioning, power quality measurement, model verification
- Produce SLDs, protection schematics, earthing layouts and study reports to DNSP/AEMO standard
- Act as technical authority and mentor junior/medium engineers
What you'll bring:
- Electrical Engineering degree; CPEng and/or NER registered (or close)
- 5+ years power systems / grid connection with proven DNSP/TNSP project delivery
- Deep knowledge of NER Ch.5 (5.3.9, S5.2.5), AS/NZS 4777, AS 2067, AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 60909, IEEE 80 / EG-0
- Full study suite + field testing capability
- DIgSILENT PowerFactory (essential); PSS®E / PSCAD; SKM / ETAP; CDEGS highly regarded
- Highly regarded: BESS/hybrid plant, AEMO registration, multiple DNSP guidelines
Why RESA:
- End-to-end ownership
- $200k+ package
- Positive, growth-focused culture
