Senior Electrical Engineers - Substation Design

At GGC, we're delivering some of Australia's most significant renewable energy and power infrastructure projects, including high-voltage substations, BESS, wind farms and utility-scale energy developments.

As our project portfolio continues to grow, we're looking to connect with Electrical Engineers across all experience levels who have a strong foundation in substation primary and/or secondary design and are passionate about delivering high-quality engineering outcomes.

Whether you're an emerging engineer looking to accelerate your career, a mid-level professional seeking greater project ownership, or a senior engineer ready to lead complex HV infrastructure projects, we'd love to hear from you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll join a growing engineering team supporting projects from early-stage design and bid development through to detailed design, construction support, commissioning and project delivery.

Depending on your experience level, you'll contribute to or lead the development of technical solutions for high-voltage electrical infrastructure while working closely with clients, project managers, construction teams and fellow engineers.

What You'll Be Doing

• Delivering primary and/or secondary substation designs for HV infrastructure projects.
  
• Developing SLDs, schematics, protection and control designs, equipment layouts and technical documentation.
  
• Performing or supporting power system studies including load flow, fault level, protection and earthing analysis.
  
• Supporting projects through design, procurement, construction and commissioning.
  
• Working closely with clients, project teams and multidisciplinary engineering professionals to develop practical, fit-for-purpose solutions.
  

Requirements

ABOUT YOU

• Experience delivering primary and/or secondary substation designs across HV infrastructure projects.
  
• Strong understanding of HV design standards, utility requirements and engineering best practice.
  
• Experience producing technical documentation, drawings, studies and design deliverables.
  
• Technical capability across substation design, protection & control, and power systems engineering.
  
• Ability to manage engineering work packages and engage effectively with clients, utilities and project stakeholders.
  
• Experience with tools such as ETAP, PowerFactory, AutoCAD or similar.
  
• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
  
• Highly advantageous: experience leading engineering teams, coordinating multidisciplinary design activities, supporting bids and design reviews, and contributing to technical governance and engineering assurance activities.
  
• RPEQ, CPEng, or eligibility to obtain professional registration is highly regarded.
  

Benefits

Why Join GGC?

• Work on major renewable energy, BESS, wind farm and utility-scale infrastructure projects.
  
• Exposure across the full project lifecycle from concept and tender through to commissioning.
  
• Opportunity to work alongside highly experienced industry leaders.
  
• Clear pathways for technical and leadership development.
  
• Collaborative, agile and growing organisation where your contribution genuinely matters.
  
• Competitive remuneration and career growth opportunities.
  

If you have experience in substation primary design, secondary systems, protection and control, or power systems engineering, and you're looking for an opportunity to work on landmark energy projects, we would welcome a confidential discussion.
