About the business
This is one of the most technically advanced wind turbine manufacturers operating in Australia - a global leader with a strong and growing pipeline of utility-scale wind projects across the NEM. Their Australian engineering team is small, senior, and highly autonomous.
They don't hire generalists. The grid team sits at the centre of project delivery - working directly with developers, NSPs, and AEMO to navigate grid connection, manage technical compliance, and drive turbine performance outcomes. The work is complex, consequential, and varied.
The role
This is a subject matter expert position. You'll own the power systems scope across a portfolio of wind projects - from early-stage grid studies through to commissioning support and compliance sign-off.
- Lead grid connection studies - load flow, stability, fault level, harmonic analysis
- Wind turbine control system analysis and performance assessment
- Prepare and review technical reports for AEMO, TNSPs, and DNSPs
- Support GPS (Generator Performance Standard) compliance under NER 5.2
- Interface directly with developers, NSPs, and internal project teams
- Contribute to turbine model validation (PSCAD/PSS/E) and EMT studies
- Mentor junior engineers within the grid team
What you bring
- Degree in electrical engineering (power systems focus preferred)
- 5+ years in power systems, ideally with exposure to wind or utility-scale renewables
- Strong working knowledge of PSS/E and PSCAD - modelling, running studies, interpreting results
- Solid understanding of wind turbine controls and generator behaviour
- Familiarity with AEMO connection processes, GPS requirements, and NER 5.2
- Ability to communicate technical findings to non-engineering stakeholders
Why this role
Moving into an OEM environment from a developer, NSP, or consultancy means broader technical exposure - you work across the full turbine and grid interface, not just one part of it. You'll have direct influence over how projects are delivered, not just advising from the outside.
The team is lean, which means real ownership. No layers of management sign-off on every decision. Melbourne-based with hybrid flexibility, and a genuine pipeline of work through 2027 and beyond.
If you're a strong power systems engineer looking to deepen your technical specialism and step into a more senior, OEM-side role - this is worth a conversation.
Pay: $180,000.00 – $220,000.00 per year
Work Location: Hybrid remote in Melbourne VIC
