Lead complex grid studies & advisory for a top-tier energy consultancy. Sydney based - hybrid role.
11th February, 2026
Senior Power Systems Engineer | Sydney (Hybrid)
The Role We are currently working with a highly regarded Australian power systems advisory firm looking to add a Senior Power Systems Engineer to their Sydney team.
This isn't a "heads-down" modelling shop. This consultancy sits right at the center of the energy transition, advising everyone from renewable developers and investors to NSPs and government bodies. You'll be solving complex technical hurdles while providing the strategic insight that actually gets projects off the ground.
What You'll Be Doing You'll lead a variety of technical and advisory work, focusing on:
System Studies: Load flow, dynamic stability, and fault level analysis.
Grid Connections: Navigating the end-to-peer process (GPS, R1/R2, and commissioning).
Advisory: Translating complex technical outcomes into clear advice for regulators and clients.
Mentorship: Guiding junior engineers and helping shape the team's technical direction.
What We're Looking For We need someone who knows the Australian grid inside out. Ideally, you'll have:
Experience: 5+ years in power systems, specifically within the Australian regulatory landscape.
Software Skills: Proficiency in PSS/E, PSCAD, or PowerFactory.
Communication: The ability to explain why a technical result matters to a non-technical stakeholder.
Background: Experience with AEMO, NSPs, or a similar consultancy environment is key.
Qualifications: Electrical Engineering degree; CPEng/RPEQ is a definite plus.
Why Join This Team?
Reputation: They are known for technical excellence - you'll be working alongside some of the best in the industry.
Variety: Your portfolio will span across wind, solar, storage, and network planning.
Flexibility: A hybrid setup built on professional trust, not micromanagement.
Culture: A flat structure with a "no ego" approach to problem-solving.
Next Steps This search is being handled with full confidentiality. Even if you aren't actively looking, we would welcome a discreet conversation to see if this aligns with your long-term goals.
