Expression of Interest - Engineering Design Roles

Apply Job no: 4625 Category: Engineering Expression of Interest - Engineering Design Roles (Glendening or Parramatta locations) Help design the infrastructure enabling growth, electrification and major customer connections across New South Wales Endeavour Energy is seeking expressions of interest from engineers, designers, technical specialists and design leaders who want to help shape electricity infrastructure across one of New South Wales' fastest-growing regions. Our network supports expanding communities, major industrial developments, transport infrastructure, data centres, renewable energy projects and increasingly complex customer connections. This growth is driving a significant pipeline of new substations, brownfield upgrades, transmission and sub-transmission infrastructure, and IEC 61850 digital substation projects. We are growing our Engineering Design capability to deliver safe, practical and commercially informed solutions for customer led, regulated and strategic growth projects. Join a transforming engineering environment Engineering Design is undergoing a major transformation across the full asset lifecycle, including: Digital engineering uplift through 3D design, BIM, common data environments and structured engineering information. More modular, repeatable and standardised substation solutions. Better integration across planning, design, procurement, construction, commissioning and asset management. Adoption of IEC 61850 and modern secondary systems technologies. Stronger governance, assurance and design standardisation. Greater focus on constructability, maintainability, lifecycle value and efficient delivery. Improved use of internal teams and trusted design partners. Better translation of customer requirements into practical network solutions. These roles offer the opportunity to contribute to major infrastructure projects while helping shape the standards, tools and delivery practices that will define the future of engineering at Endeavour Energy. Roles of interest Primary Systems Engineer Develop substation primary systems designs, including plant layouts, equipment arrangements, clearances, cable routes, earthing interfaces, constructability and maintainability. We are interested in engineers at all levels, from those developing their primary design capability through to senior and principal engineers who can set technical direction, mentor others and improve standards, templates and design practices. Secondary Design Engineer Develop coordinated secondary systems designs covering control circuits, interlocking, DC systems, AC auxiliary supplies, metering, protection and SCADA interfaces, panel wiring, schematics, cable schedules and termination details. This role does not perform protection settings or SCADA configuration, but is central to translating functional and interface requirements into safe, coordinated and buildable designs. Experience with IEC 61850, digital substation architecture and modern secondary systems technologies will be highly regarded. Civil Engineer Support civil design for substations and network infrastructure, including site layouts, earthworks, drainage, access roads, foundations, trenches, pits, bunding, oil containment and supporting infrastructure. We are seeking engineers across all experience levels, including senior and principal practitioners who can lead complex design packages, improve constructability and influence whole-of-life outcomes. Structural Engineer Provide structural engineering input for substation and network assets, including equipment support structures, gantries, buildings, footings, poles, towers and other high-voltage infrastructure. The role requires strong coordination across electrical, civil, geotechnical and delivery requirements, with opportunities for senior and principal engineers to influence assurance, resilience, standardisation and design methodologies. Drafting Lead - Mechanical / Primary Systems Lead drafting, modelling and design documentation for mechanical and primary systems, ensuring drawings, models and layouts are accurate, coordinated and suitable for construction. The role will support substation layouts, equipment arrangements, plans, sections, details and standardised design outputs, while guiding CAD and BIM practices, drawing governance, quality and multidisciplinary coordination. This role will be a key contributor to Endeavour Energy's digital engineering uplift and the transition toward model-based design delivery. Mains Engineer - Transmission Support the design and technical development of overhead and underground mains assets, with a focus on sub-transmission and transmission-level infrastructure at 33 kV and above. Relevant experience may include route assessment, conductor and cable selection, thermal ratings, clearances, earthing interfaces, structures, constructability, asset standards and coordination with planning, environment, property, delivery and customer connection requirements. Experience with overhead line design, underground cable systems, transmission modelling or cable rating tools will be highly regarded. Generalist Substation / Network Engineering Role We are also interested in experienced engineers and technical specialists who can work across teams and bridge the gap between design, construction, commissioning, maintenance and operations. This may suit people with experience in substation construction, commissioning, field engineering, maintenance, project engineering, design management or multidisciplinary delivery. These roles will bring practical judgement into design development, improve constructability, resolve interfaces, support brownfield staging, mentor teams and help ensure engineering outputs translate into safe, efficient and reliable field outcomes. The work Successful candidates may contribute to: New substations supporting residential, industrial and customer growth. Strategic and customer-led connection projects. Brownfield substation extensions, replacements and modernisation. Integration of new technologies into existing substations. IEC 61850 digital substations. Transmission and sub-transmission overhead and underground infrastructure. Network augmentation, resilience and asset replacement projects. Optioneering, feasibility, detailed design and construction support. Development of standardised and repeatable engineering solutions. Improvement of standards, governance, assurance and digital engineering practices. What we are looking for We welcome expressions of interest from developing engineers, experienced practitioners, technical specialists, design leaders, senior engineers and principal engineers. Depending on the role, suitable candidates may bring: Qualifications in electrical, civil, structural or another relevant engineering discipline. Drafting, design technology or digital engineering qualifications. Experience in substations, transmission, distribution or complex infrastructure. Strong multidisciplinary coordination and interface management skills. Experience in greenfield and brownfield environments. Knowledge of relevant standards, utility practices and engineering assurance. Experience working with customers, contractors, consultants and delivery partners. Practical understanding of construction, commissioning, operation or maintenance. Strong technical judgement and problem-solving capability. A commitment to safety, quality, customer outcomes and technical excellence. Experience in electricity networks, renewable energy, major infrastructure, rail, resources or other asset-intensive sectors will be highly regarded. Why join Endeavour Energy? You will have the opportunity to: Work on infrastructure enabling growth and electrification across Western Sydney and surrounding regions. Support major customer connections and strategic development projects. Help modernise existing substations and develop the next generation of digital substations. Influence standards, tools, governance and delivery practices. Contribute to a significant digital engineering and business transformation. Work across internal teams and trusted external design partners. Build technical capability while delivering meaningful infrastructure outcomes. Register your interest To register your interest, please provide your resume and a brief summary outlining: Your primary area of expertise. Your experience in substations, transmission or high-voltage infrastructure. The types of roles or projects that interest you. Your level of experience and any specialist technical capabilities.
