Full Job Description

Melbourne, VIC, AU, 3000

About us

At CitiPower and Powercor, we’re proud to deliver electricity to 1.3 million Victorian customers every day through our network of poles and wires. But more than that, we’re here to power communities, support local businesses and keep critical services running smoothly, we’re essential to them all – and none of this happens without our people. As Victorians electrify everything from homes to transport, we’re focused on ensuring our networks are ready to meet that demand. If you want to be part of something essential, be essential with us.

About the role

We’re expanding our Network Services team and have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Protection & Control Engineer (Secondary Design) who’s ready to step up and take on more technical leadership.

In this role, you’ll provide specialist engineering support across the scoping, design, and delivery of major substation projects. You’ll work closely with internal teams and external clients to ensure high‑quality protection and control solutions that meet project, safety, and regulatory requirements.

This is a chance to grow into a senior technical role, influence design standards, champion best‑practice engineering, and contribute to the development of our Secondary Design capability across distribution, sub‑transmission, and transmission assets.

If you’re looking to take the next step in your career and lead impactful infrastructure projects within a collaborative, forward‑thinking team, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Deliver specialist engineering designs for terminal stations, industrial substations, and distributed generation connections.
Review and improve design processes to lift productivity, efficiency, and quality.
Review, monitor, and approve engineering solutions, proposals, and manufacturer drawings.
Support the adoption of new technologies and innovative design practices.
Contribute ideas that strengthen our design capability and competitive position.
Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to the design team.
Make informed decisions on complex issues, balancing technical, commercial, and safety considerations.
Develop and implement technical policies, procedures, and design standards.
Work closely with the Design Leadership team to build a collaborative and agile culture.
Responsible for full detailed design package delivery.

Key Criteria

Strong AutoCAD design capability and experience delivering complex engineering solutions.
Deep knowledge of modern protection and control technologies, including IEC61850 and SCADA.
Hands‑on experience performing fault current analysis using complex numbers and symmetrical components (Excel and software such as PowerFactory, PSSE, or Sincal).
Strong understanding of regulatory requirements, Safety in Design, and relevant standards.
Extensive experience in protection settings and design within the electrical utility sector.
Expertise in specifying and configuring protection relays across major suppliers.
Strong 5 years recent experience with detailed design of Terminal stations or Zone substations within AUS/NZ.

To be successful in this role, you will ideally possess:

A Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) or equivalent qualification
Registration as a Registered Professional Engineer of Victoria (RPEV) via Business Licensing Authority (BLA)

If you believe you have what it takes but don’t meet every requirement—or if you’d like to discuss flexible working arrangements to meet the key responsibilities —we encourage you to get in touch.

Key benefits

We’re proud to offer an inclusive, supportive workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to grow. Some of our benefits include hybrid work options, purchased leave, 15 weeks of gender neutral primary parental leave, health and wellbeing subsidiary, career development and planning opportunities, and exclusive discounts.

Diversity, equity & inclusion to support a fair workplace for all

We are committed to building a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace where people of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities and ages are valued for who they are and empowered to do their best.
