Full Job Description

At Transgrid, we play a crucial role in delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable energy to millions of Australians. Operating over 13,000 km of high-voltage transmission lines and 128 substations across NSW and the ACT, we connect electricity generators to the distribution network—powering homes, businesses, and communities.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Senior Transmission Line and Cable Design Engineer to join our Transmission Line Design team, based in our Ultimo office in Sydneys CBD.

In this senior technical role, you will lead and deliver complex layout design activities for high-voltage transmission lines and underground cables. Working across major network projects, you will provide specialist engineering advice, complete and approve designs, coordinate internal and external design resources, and support projects from feasibility and route selection through to construction.

You will also act as a trusted technical resource within the team, sharing your expertise, coaching others and helping strengthen Transgrid’s engineering standards and design capability.

A Day in the Life

You will work across complex transmission infrastructure projects, combining hands-on technical design with design assurance, stakeholder coordination and specialist engineering advice. While much of your focus will be on delivering high-quality design outcomes, you will also play an important role in guiding consultants, supporting project teams and strengthening capability across the broader design function.

In this role, you will:

Deliver, review and approve transmission line and underground cable designs in line with relevant standards, legislation and Transgrid requirements
Complete route selection, PLS-CADD modelling, line schedules, stringing outputs, rating assessments, design reports and site verification activities
Coordinate internal engineers and external consultants to deliver design outcomes within agreed scope, schedule, quality and budget requirements
Investigate complex technical challenges and develop practical, safe and commercially considered engineering solutions
Provide technical guidance to colleagues while contributing to improved design standards, procedures and work practices

Why this role matters

Australia’s energy system is undergoing significant transformation, and the transmission network is critical to enabling that change.

The designs you deliver will directly influence the safety, reliability, constructability and long-term performance of essential transmission infrastructure. Your technical expertise will help Transgrid deliver complex projects, connect new generation and maintain a secure electricity network for communities across NSW and the ACT.

About You

You are an experienced design engineer with strong technical capability across transmission line and/or underground cable design. Comfortable operating in a senior specialist role, you can work autonomously on complex assignments, review and approve the work of others, and provide clear, practical advice to project teams and stakeholders.

You will bring:

A degree qualification in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent discipline
Demonstrated experience in transmission line and/or underground cable functional layout design
Advanced proficiency in PLS-CADD, with experience using CDEGS, CYMCAP, ProjectWise or MicroStation viewed favourably
Strong knowledge of relevant Australian and international standards, design assurance and Safety in Design requirements
Well-developed communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills, with the ability to guide and support other engineers

Benefits & Perks

At Transgrid, we empower our people with a well-rounded benefits package designed to support their personal, professional, and social well-being, helping them deliver their best work every day. Employees have access to a range of corporate discounts across retail, utilities, travel, health & wellbeing etc., as well as novated leasing options, workplace flexibility, 20 weeks paid parental leave and more.

Beyond benefits, we believe in real development and progression. Here, you’ll have access to regular and ongoing training, tertiary education support, and career mentoring. Enabling you to build a career that evolves with you.

Applications close on the 26th of June 2026 – Apply today as applications will be assessed on a rolling basis and this opportunity may close early!

Transgrid is committed to Health and Safety, the Environment, Equal Employment Opportunity, Diversity and Ethical Practices. All applicants are expected to demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to these areas.
