“OT Software engineering is the quiet magic that connects data, systems and people, creating smarter, more reliable ways to deliver energy”

At Oribus, we’re not just implementing control systems for major transmission and distribution companies—we’re shaping the future of energy. We’re looking for passionate engineers who want to be part of something bigger: driving innovation, sustainability, and smarter energy solutions.

As an Operational Technology Software Engineer, you’ll join a team that’s collaborative, curious, and committed to making a difference. You’ll work on cutting-edge projects in Electricity Distribution, Electricity Transmission and Gas Distribution to improve grid control systems and energy delivery processes —across Tasmania and mainland Australia.

Preferably you're based in Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney or Adelaide - however we also support remote working so regional engineers can also apply. Whether you're seeking part-time or full-time work, this role offers flexibility, purpose, and the chance to grow alongside a small team of talented and committed engineers.
