Job Description

As a Senior Designer - Electrical (Resources + Industry) you will be a key contributor within a multidisciplinary design team, working closely with regional engineers, designers, project managers and global delivery teams to deliver high-quality, cost-effective and fit-for-purpose solutions on mining and industrial projects. Working within a collaborative global delivery model, you will contribute to the successful execution of projects while maintaining alignment with clients, regulatory, and quality requirements.

Here is what you will do:

  • Produce and coordinate detailed electrical designs, layouts drawings, models and documentation in accordance with the standards applicable to the project location, client specifications, and project requirements.
  • Perform advanced electrical design and drafting using AutoCAD, Micro Station, Project Wise, BIM Forma and other relevant software.
  • Develop concept and detailed designs for mine services, materials handling facilities, transport systems, water infrastructure, fuel facilities, industrial plants and associated electrical systems.
  • Coordinate electrical designs with mechanical, structural, civil, process and control systems disciplines to ensure fully integrated design outcomes.
  • Participate in model reviews, design reviews and clash resolution activities to support efficient project delivery.
  • Manage drawing registers, design deliverables, document workflows and assigned work packages.
  • Conduct quality reviews of your own work and provide checking and mentoring support to junior designers.
  • Collaborate effectively with regional project teams, stakeholders and clients to manage technical queries, priorities and deliverables.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, design innovation and the development of standardised work practices.
  • Support the development of engineering capability and knowledge sharing across the global delivery network.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Able to work independently on complex electrical design tasks while seeking clarification where the technical basis is incomplete.
  • Accurate and disciplined, with a strong record of self-checking and document control.
  • Clear communicator who can collaborate confidently across countries, cultures and disciplines.
  • Organised and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines without losing control of quality.
  • Proactive and solutions-focused, with the confidence to raise design concerns and risks early.
  • Collaborative and willing to mentor colleagues, share knowledge and support team delivery.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting Australian, North American, or other international engineering projects within a global delivery environment.
  • Familiarity with Australian Standards, client specifications and engineering delivery practices is highly desirable. Demonstrated learning agility and the ability to quickly adopt new standards and project requirements are essential.
Qualifications
  • An associated degree, diploma or advanced diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Design or a related discipline.
  • At least 8 years of electrical design and drafting experience within mining, resources, industrial, energy or heavy industry sectors.
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Micro Station, with experience producing coordinated 2D and 3D design deliverables.
  • Experience with engineering document management systems such as Project Wise and controlled digital delivery workflows.
  • Experience across concept, pre-feasibility, feasibility, detailed design or construction-support phases.
  • Professional fluency in written and spoken English and confidence collaborating with international stakeholders.
  • Experience in materials handling, underground crushing, mine infrastructure and services, pump stations, ventilation, fuel facilities, industrial power or substations - advantageous
  • Experience with BIM coordination and multidisciplinary model review environments - advantageous
  • Experience delivering Australian or other international projects and applying project-specific standards - advantageous
