    Working at Enerven, you will play a major role in building and transforming the infrastructure which will revolutionise the energy industry and create a more sustainable future for all Australians. Our nationwide initiatives are at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution.
     
    At Enerven, we’re focussed on connecting you with tomorrow.
     
     
    About the role
     
    Enerven are seeking a Principal Automation Engineer to join our design team and lead the delivery of some of Australia's most significant renewable energy infrastructure and transmission projects. This exciting portfolio includes the 500MW Liddell BESS, the 2.8GWh Eraring BESS and the 500kV Goulburn River Solar Farm connection in New South Wales where Enerven is delivering the critical infrastructure needed to drive Australia’s renewable energy transition.

    Specific qualifications and experience required include: 
    • A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other relevant control systems degree.
    • Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) 
    • Demonstrated experience in either design leadership or management roles.
    • Proven experience delivering designs for major transmission utilities in NSW or SA
