What you’ll bring

• A degree in Electrical Engineering and substantial experience in consulting or project delivery.

• Strong knowledge of power distribution and electrical systems for operating assets.
• The ability to manage competing project priorities and guide other engineers’ work.
• Confidence engaging directly with clients and communicating technical decisions clearly.
