The posting

Beca's Power business operates as a truly integrated Asia-Pacific team, with experts across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Indonesia delivering some of the region's most significant energy infrastructure projects.

As Australia accelerates its energy transition, we're partnering with utilities, renewable energy developers, major contractors and infrastructure providers to deliver projects across the full lifecycle, from concept and detailed design through to procurement and construction support. Our work spans Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution, and HV Power services, helping shape a more sustainable energy future.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Secondary & Protection Engineer to join our growing Power team in Brisbane.

In this role, you'll provide technical leadership across complex transmission and distribution projects while helping shape the future of Beca's Secondary & Protection capability. You'll work closely with clients, lead multidisciplinary project teams, and guide engineers through the delivery of major energy infrastructure projects across Australia and New Zealand.

This is an opportunity to combine technical leadership, client engagement and people development while contributing to some of the region's most significant renewable energy and power projects.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design and implementation of secondary and protection systems for transmission and distribution substations up to 500kV.
  • Provide technical leadership across complex projects, ensuring high-quality and fit-for-purpose outcomes.
  • Lead and mentor engineers, supporting technical development, knowledge sharing and capability growth.
  • Develop and review protection schemes, secondary systems, fault studies and power system analyses.
  • Partner with clients to provide technical advice, project scoping and practical delivery solutions.
  • Support project pursuits, client relationships and the continued growth of Beca's Power business.

You will be part of Beca’s team of leading design experts working collaboratively to deliver best-in-class designs. Career development opportunities exist including moving across technical, design, technology, people, client or business leadership pathways. This is an interesting and varied role that will provide career growth and challenge and suit an enthusiastic individual willing to grow into a leader within an employee-owned business and multi-discipline consultancy firm like Beca.

About You

You are a recognised secondary & protection specialist with extensive experience delivering transmission and distribution projects. You enjoy solving complex technical challenges, developing people and building trusted client relationships.

You’ll bring:

  • Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering, with Chartered, Registered Professional Engineer status or working towards professional registration.
  • Extensive experience delivering secondary and protection designs for transmission and distribution projects, including protection relays, substation automation systems and commissioning.
  • Proven ability to provide technical leadership, mentor engineers and support team development.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and problem-solving skills, with a practical and client-focused approach.
  • Engineering consultancy experience is advantageous but not essential.

What We Offer

  • Impactful Work: Help deliver major renewable energy and power infrastructure projects that are shaping Australia's energy future.
  • Flexibility & Wellbeing: Flexible working options to manage personal and family priorities, along with dedicated leave for wellbeing and community engagement
  • Belonging & Ownership: Join a diverse and inclusive team where collaboration and creativity thrive. Bring your whole self to work and take advantage of unique shareholder opportunities

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
