Lead the people. Shape the projects. Influence the future.
We're partnering with a highly regarded engineering consultancy delivering complex electrical, automation and control systems projects across critical infrastructure, utilities, energy, transport and industrial sectors.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced engineering leader who enjoys developing people just as much as delivering great technical outcomes.
You'll take ownership of a growing design function, providing leadership, direction and mentoring to a team of engineers while remaining involved in the delivery of complex electrical engineering projects. If you're someone who can inspire a team, build strong client relationships and drive quality project outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.
Team leadership experience is a critical requirement for the role, and you will be required to demonstrate this capability.

- Managing the delivery of engineering designs to agreed scope, budget and schedule
- Working closely with clients and stakeholders to define and refine project requirements
- Supporting the successful delivery of complex electrical, automation and control systems projects
- Providing technical leadership and guidance across the project lifecycle
What We're Looking For
- Demonstrated experience leading and managing engineering teams
- Strong background in electrical design engineering at a senior or principal level
- Experience delivering projects within sectors such as energy, utilities, transport, manufacturing, resources or industrial automation
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and client management skills
- Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering
- Eligibility for engineering registration in South Australia
- Australian Citizenship is required
Why This Role?
This is more than a technical leadership position.
You'll join a business with a strong project pipeline, a reputation for engineering excellence and a genuine need for a leader who can bring structure, direction and mentorship to an established team.
You'll have the opportunity to influence engineering standards, develop capability within the team and play a key role in shaping future project delivery.
