The posting

The energy sector is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation. As Australia and New Zealand transition towards a more sustainable, reliable, and resilient energy future, Beca is helping shape the infrastructure that will power our communities for decades to come.

Our Power business works across the full energy lifecycle, partnering with transmission, distribution and renewable energy clients to deliver some of Australasia's most significant electricity projects.

The Opportunity

Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of work across Australia and New Zealand, we're looking for Senior Secondary & Protection Engineers to join our team.

You'll have the opportunity to contribute to major energy transition projects, work alongside industry-leading specialists, and deliver innovative secondary systems solutions for our transmission and distribution clients across Australasia.

In this role, you will:

  • Complete detailed design and implementation of protection and controls systems for distribution, sub-transmission, and transmission substations for High Voltage (HV 220kV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV 500kV) projects
  • Conduct fault studies using industry-standard software to ensure optimal system performance
  • Lead teams of engineers on larger work packages including coaching, mentorship and supporting training on-the-job of the next generation of Power engineers
  • Deliver concept and detailed designs, reviewing secondary and protection schemes from high-level R&I diagrams through detailed schematics and protection settings
  • Provide technical advice working with clients to provide project scoping, design and delivery, aligned to their requirements
  • Ensure compliance with legislative design standards while performing quality checks to maintain high standards of delivery

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

Your secondary and protection design engineering expertise is built on solid fundamentals and demonstrated through the successful delivery of complex power engineering projects. You will bring extensive experience in electricity transmission and distribution projects, with advanced expertise in secondary and protection design.

You'll bring:

  • A deep understanding of HV power designs and experience with modern protection relay technology, substation automation systems, and their application through to project commissioning
  • Experience leading teams and a passion for coaching and mentoring emerging engineers
  • Strong stakeholder relationship-building and communication skills to clearly explain complex technical issues
  • Motivation to learn and grow within a team, managing multiple tasks with enthusiasm and a focus on outcomes
  • Creative thinking and problem-solving abilities
  • A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical subject
  • Progress toward, or achievement of, Registered Professional Engineer or Chartered Professional Engineer status

You'll be a valued team member with opportunities to grow your career working in an inclusive and international team from diverse backgrounds, including client, consultancy, design-build contractors, and industrial businesses. We invite applications from a broad range of backgrounds.

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.
