Te whiwhinga mahi| The opportunity
In this role, you will be part of an international team of highly experienced electrical engineering specialists who together design and deliver a vast range of critical Power primary, substation and infrastructure related projects. You will gain wide-ranging experience through leading and working on a variety of project types that differ in scale, scope, geography, site and client types throughout New Zealand and Australia. The complexity, variety and type of projects you will be working on will enable you to step change your Primary and Substation design abilities, while also providing you with the opportunity to work within, and learn from, some of the industry's leading Power engineers, designers and technical leaders.
You will be using and applying your detailed design abilities, creating High Voltage (HV 220kV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV 500 kV) electrical conceptual and detailed designs for transmission and distribution clients using the latest in digital design technologies. You will be problem solving and delivering solutions across a variety of site considerations, client requirements, standards, equipment specifications, cabling sizing, earthing design calculations, and safety standards building on your power systems engineering capability. This project variety will enable you to develop your own technical expertise while supporting the delivery of high-quality technical advice and project designs to our clients. In addition, this role will enable you to help mentor, coach and develop the next generation of Power electrical engineers, helping them to undertake packages of works, supporting their on-the-job and technical training developing their careers.

Your ability to work across multiple workstreams managing your time and deliverables will be important, as will being able to adapt to changing project deliverables and timeframes. Updating stakeholders early and often, will be a key mantra that you work by, especially for those 'hard conversations' where project timelines are at risk of not being met.
You will be part of a team of Beca's leading design experts working collaboratively to deliver best in class designs. Career development opportunities exist including moving across technical, design, technology, people, client or business leadership pathways.
