This is not your average Electrical Engineer gig.

No managing 18 different spreadsheets for a project going nowhere. No tracing over someone else’s half-baked designs. No waiting for sign-off from a boss who hasn’t touched a circuit in years.

This is your system, your stamp - powering next-gen, zero-emission buildings for some of Australia’s biggest mining players. No generators. No compromise.
You’ll be the sole Electrical Engineer on the tools, designing solar-first, DC-heavy systems that keep remote modular buildings humming without a drop of diesel. The gear is legit. The product is proven. And the team is genuinely excited about what they're building.

This role sits in a brand-new division that’s going places fast, and they want someone who can keep up... and lead the charge.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Designing off-grid solar systems that don’t need a Plan B (read: generators)
  • Creating detailed electrical drawings and signing off with confidence
  • Working directly with clients to spec, size and design systems to suit each build
  • Selecting and integrating gear from Victron, Eaton Power, and Eltech
  • Ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 4509 and AS/NZS 3000
  • Working alongside a highly experienced Electrical Project Manager who gets it

What You Bring

  • A degree in Electrical Engineering (or something that gets you to the same place)
  • 3 to 5 years designing off-grid solar systems - no training wheels here
  • Confidence with DC systems, load balancing and off-grid best practice
  • Experience using electrical design software to produce working drawings
  • The ability to work solo but not like a lone wolf - teamwork matters
  • A bit of vision. You’ll be helping shape a growing product line with serious potential

The Extras

  • $140,000 to $160,000 + Super, paid for what you actually bring to the table
  • Parking on-site in Belmont
  • 7am–3pm hours so you can beat the traffic and the inbox
  • A product that’s winning with Tier 1 miners and still evolving
  • A flat structure where smart ideas beat job titles

The Culture

Fast-growing. Technically sharp. No fluff. No egos. Just good people building a smart product the market actually wants.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why are we still using diesel gensets in 2025?” this is your kind of place.
