Our client is a well-established engineering organisation delivering specialist electrical and automation solutions to mining and heavy industrial operations across Australia. Due to continued project growth, they are seeking an experienced Electrical & Control Systems Engineer to take ownership of multidisciplinary electrical projects from concept through to commissioning.
This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who enjoys combining technical design, client interaction and project delivery while working across challenging brownfield and greenfield environments.
The Opportunity
You will become a key technical contributor responsible for developing practical engineering solutions for electrical power distribution, industrial control systems and site infrastructure. Working closely with project managers, designers, suppliers and commissioning teams, you will ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest engineering standards.
The role offers excellent variety, combining office-based engineering with supplier visits, testing activities and occasional site travel throughout Australia.
Your Responsibilities
You will be involved in a broad range of engineering and project delivery activities, including:

• Designing industrial electrical systems for mining and processing facilities.
• Producing engineering calculations, technical documentation and design packages.
• Developing power distribution, control and instrumentation solutions.
• Reviewing vendor documentation and technical submissions.
• Managing procurement activities and supporting equipment selection.
• Coordinating engineering interfaces across mechanical, civil and automation disciplines.
• Providing technical leadership during construction, installation and commissioning.
• Supporting equipment testing, quality inspections and operational handover.
• Managing engineering changes while ensuring compliance with project requirements.
• Building strong relationships with clients, contractors and project stakeholders.

What We're Looking For
We're interested in speaking with engineers who bring a combination of strong technical capability and practical project delivery experience.
Ideally you will have:

• Degree qualification in Electrical Engineering.
• Approximately 7+ years' experience within mining, heavy industry, minerals processing or industrial infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of medium and low voltage electrical systems.
• Experience designing industrial control and automation systems.
• Knowledge of electrical protection, switchboards, motor control and variable speed drive applications.
• Experience producing engineering documentation including drawings, specifications and testing procedures.
• Familiarity with Australian electrical standards and industrial safety requirements.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage confidently with clients and multidisciplinary project teams.
• Experience using AutoCAD Electrical or similar electrical design software.

Highly Regarded Experience
Applications will be viewed favourably from engineers with experience in one or more of the following:

• Underground mining operations.
• Coal or metalliferous mining projects.
• PLC, HMI or SCADA systems.
• Hazardous area electrical installations.
• Packaged electrical buildings or modular infrastructure.
• Functional safety or industrial automation.
• Professional engineering registration (CPEng, NER, RPEQ or equivalent).

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Join a respected engineering business with a strong project pipeline.
• Work on technically challenging mining and industrial infrastructure projects.
• Enjoy genuine project ownership from design through commissioning.
• Collaborate with highly experienced engineering professionals.
• Long-term career development within a growing engineering environment.
• Competitive remuneration package based on experience.

Travel
This position includes occasional travel to supplier facilities and operating mine sites for inspections, commissioning activities and project support. Travel is expected to represent approximately 20-30% of the role depending on project requirements.
