We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

About the role

A career in DNV is not just a job. It is an opportunity to develop your expertise, work with highly knowledgeable professionals, and contribute to projects that support safe, reliable, and sustainable energy systems.

As a Senior / Principal Consultant in our Power Grid Assets team in Australia, you will report to the Team Leader – Power Grid Assets Australia and play a key role in delivering and growing DNV’s technical advisory services across transmission, distribution, generation, renewable energy and large-scale grid infrastructure.

This is a broad and varied role. You may be involved in, owner’s engineer assignments, technical due diligence, asset condition and performance reviews, grid connection support, feasibility studies, technical specification development, proposal preparation or the review of major high-voltage assets. We are open to candidates with broad power grid advisory capability, or candidates with deeper experience in HV substations, including primary systems, secondary systems, SCADA, control, protection and communications. You do not need to have experience in every area, but you should bring strong engineering judgement, curiosity, and the ability to work confidently with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

Key Focus Areas

Power grid technical advisory: Provide independent advice across HVDC, HVAC transmission, FACTS, substations, reactive power plant, transformers, switchgear, primary systems, secondary systems, SCADA, protection, control, communications and associated grid infrastructure.

Power system and grid integration: Support studies related to transmission and distribution networks, renewable energy integration, grid connection, system strength, power quality, protection and network performance.

SCADA, control and communications: Support advisory, review and owner’s engineering scopes involving substation automation, SCADA, protection and control, communications, remote monitoring, operational technology interfaces and control room / network operations requirements.

Owner’s engineering and project support: Support clients through specification development, design review, procurement, tender evaluation, contractor review, construction-phase advice, commissioning support and operational readiness, including for substation primary, secondary, SCADA, control and communications scopes.

Asset lifecycle and performance: Conduct asset condition, performance, risk and lifecycle assessments, and provide practical recommendations for maintenance, replacement, refurbishment and investment decisions.

Technical due diligence and investment support: Undertake red-flag reviews, detailed technical assessments and risk-based recommendations for investors, lenders, developers and asset owners.

Digitalisation and asset management enablement: Support clients in improving asset data, analytical approaches, decision frameworks and digital asset management capability where relevant to project outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain strong relationships with utility, developer, investor and asset owner stakeholders, understanding their challenges and shaping practical solutions.
Deliver high-quality technical advisory assignments across Australia and APAC, working independently or as part of multidisciplinary teams.
Prepare clear, structured and client-ready deliverables, including technical reports, feasibility studies, design review reports, due diligence reports, asset review reports, business cases and implementation roadmaps.
Review technical documentation, drawings, specifications, reports, models, SCADA/control system information, communications architecture and contractor submissions.
Frame technical problems, facilitate discussions, present findings and support client decision-making.
Contribute to proposals and business development activities, including scope, methodology, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, programme, effort estimates and win themes.
Support project delivery through planning, budget and schedule management, risk management, coordination of contributors and quality control of deliverables.
Collaborate with DNV specialists across Australia, APAC and globally to bring the right expertise to client assignments.
Mentor junior engineers and consultants, share knowledge and contribute to the development of tools, templates, methods and best practice within the team.
Stay informed of industry trends, emerging technologies, regulatory developments and market needs relevant to power grid assets and the energy transition.
